The skirts have gotten much shorter, the tops tighter, and short enough to reveal the mid-drift. Many costumes like cats, witches, french maids, pirates, and other characters now sport corsets and more resemble the revealing ones made for adults.
I can understand that children enjoy looking like like their older counterparts, but does that mean they should be dressing this revealing? By the descriptions of the costumes above, you might think I am describing costumes for teenagers. Nope.

...Which brings me to my next "find". Costume catalogs and web sites, filled with images of pouty preteens modeling the latest in Halloween fashion, seem almost to verge on child pornography, and ooze with attitude. While searching for "Toddler Alice in Wonderland Costumes" this is what I come across...

These costumes would be a better fit in Fredrick's of Hollywood or a Hustler store than in the Children's/"tweens" section of our local costume shop. And don't even get me started on teens costumes these days. I'll just leave you with the following picture. Now just mind you, ALL of these costumes were listed under the "Teen/Young Adult" section BUT individually described as a "Teen Costume".Oh and congrats to all the child molesters and child sex offenders out there. You seem to have hit the jack pot this year! So get your Sam's Club bags of candy ready! The kiddy buffet's coming your way!!!
