Costumes are super fun for everyone, though not all costumes are easy to wear all the time! In fact, sometimes it seems like they were made by villains given how tough those zippers can be or how itchy fabric can feel. The itch of seams on sensitive skin can be irritating to anyone. Metal snaps aren’t always easy for little fingers to secure. Fitting an arm cast into sleeves is a master feat. Having access to medical devices while dressed to the nines is beyond important. And feeling included in the world around you is something everyone deserves. This is why universal Halloween costume options exist.

Our goal is to bring the fun of Halloween to all, though, and that means some creative adaptations! You may be heading out for a night of trick-or-treating with the kids or maybe the ride on the school bus needs an awesome upgrade. Either way, we believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the fun of costumes. That’s why we’re excited to offer some great accessible costume options from some of your favorite themes.

Whether you or a loved one is of differing ability or your rambunctious toddler took a tumble that ended with a walking cast, our selection of adaptive costumes is here to help ensure everyone has access to a comfortable outfit. You’ll find a growing collection of options suited for children and adults.

Inclusive clothing is intended to make getting dressed and feeling comfortable in those clothes easier for everyone. Hook and loop fastening strips close without fuss and look similar to standard zippers on a garment. That can make them ideal for children learning to dress themselves as well as caregivers assisting in the process. Prefer zippers still? Look for options that feature larger pull tabs that make zipping up easy to manage.

You’ll see some of the jumpsuits in our collection are exclusively fastened with hook and loop closures. Along leg seams, arms, and back, making them easy for kids to put on and adults to help with. And, with their easy to open and close construction, this style of costume may be the perfect option for individuals using wheelchairs or anyone that may need extra room in their pant legs or sleeves for medical equipment.

Concerned about sensory sensitivities? These universal costume options keep those needs in mind with softer fabric, fewer interior seams, and linings when necessary. These thoughtful additions, and in some respects, subtractions, offer plenty of benefits. When your toddler steps out of their room dressed comfortably as their favorite character and having done it all on their own, you know everyone’s in for a great time!

Not finding the look you or your kiddo has been dreaming of? We’re always working on expanding our selection. So, check back with us often to discover the costumes and accessories that suit your wants and needs!
