Your costume photo.
A plan to make it.

Turn a Halloween inspiration photo into a shopping list for one person or the whole family, using everyday clothes, accessories and DIY details.

  • 01 The accessories that make the look
  • 02 A list built around what you already own
  • 03 Linked items, sizes and a total budget

Halloween Costume Creator

Bring a photo from Pinterest, your camera roll or anywhere else. The prompt asks for the details it needs before shopping.

  1. Copy the prompt into a new chat in your preferred AI app.
  2. Attach your inspiration photo. Use an app with image understanding and web search.
  3. Answer its questions about people, sizes, budget, delivery location and what you already own.
  4. Review the grouped shopping list, including accessories and DIY supplies. Open the retailer links to check your exact sizes and delivery before buying.

The little pieces do a lot of the work.

Dorothy’s bows and basket. A Scarecrow hat with the right shape. A lion’s mane. Your list includes the details that make each costume recognizable, plus materials and tools for anything you need to make.

Already own the brown pants or black shoes? Say so. The prompt leaves those out of your new spending and counts shared supplies only once.

Made around your family and your budget.

Use it for an individual costume, siblings, a couple or a family. October 29 is the default need-by date; tell it if yours is different. It checks live prices and delivery for your actual location where retailer access allows.

Help me recreate the costume in my inspiration photo using affordable everyday clothes, ordinary accessories and household or craft materials. This can be one person or a family/group. Use the exact attached photo as the target, regardless of where it came from. First inspect the photo. Identify each character's recognizable shapes, colors and accessories, including hats, hair details, collars, cuffs, belts, footwear and props. Separate what is visible from your guesses. A generic outfit in the right color is not enough if a defining accessory is missing. Interview me briefly before shopping. Ask only for missing information: who is dressing up and their character assignments, ages where relevant, clothing sizes, shoe sizes or head measurements when needed, country and delivery ZIP/postcode, total budget, and what clothes, accessories, materials or tools we already own. Default the need-by date to October 29 unless I give a different date. Ask whether any pieces are unnecessary. Do not assume accessories or supplies are already owned. Use current retailer pages and real product images to find the missing pieces. Match the photo's shape and color closely, especially its accessories. Select ordinary items that have a practical use beyond a costume, but do not give me a section of ideas for using everything again. Do not silently switch to costume-only purchases. If the photo cannot be reproduced within my constraints, explain the specific gap and the smallest useful tradeoff. For DIY details, include a complete, feasible materials list with quantities, attachment method and any needed tools. Price the entire pack I must buy. Distinguish raw materials from the finished accessory and explain differences from the reference. Make attachments to normal clothing removable where possible. For children, use suitable sizing and construction and avoid long loose ties or unsecured small parts. Verify each exact color/size, current price, availability and dated delivery estimate to my actual destination by October 29. If the location is fictional, or live retailer access is unavailable, say what cannot be checked. Never invent arrival dates, product links, stock, prices or totals. Return a concise shopping list grouped by person/character. Each row should have the linked item name, exact variant, quantity, cost and delivery status. Include accessories, props and DIY supplies unless I explicitly said we own them or do not need them. Put shared supplies in one group and charge for them once. Show each costume subtotal, shared-materials subtotal and the total at the bottom. Clearly separate merchandise, shipping and tax; mark unknown charges instead of treating them as zero. List owned items separately at $0 new spend. Do not claim the complete look meets my budget until all required pieces and charges are accounted for. Show the closest complete option you can support, and flag any missing or unverified piece plainly. Do not buy anything or contact sellers.
