So when does it dawn on you that you’re in the middle of realizing a really bad idea? As you dutifully stitch together the cute little beret? As you attach the shoulder strap to the brown satchel bag? How about when you affix the “destination tag” to that navy blue dress?At exactly what point do you decide an Anne Frank Halloween costume isn’t such a hot concept after all?The answer: You don’t — not if you’re the creative team at HalloweenCostumes.com, anyway.
