amylynnegraphics: Amy's Customized Gryffindor Halloween Costume 2006

As you may have discovered, costume stores just don't provide all the items you need to create a good-quality authentic Hogwarts student uniform. I was amazed how hard it was to find certain items...so once I finally completed my costume, I decided to post a webpage about it to hopefully help people out & show them that it can be done.

Of course, if you are really lucky, you might find many of these items even cheaper at thrift stores or other bargain stores.

These are the pieces I've collected to make my Gryffindor costume for Halloween this year!

1st sweater option: men's St. John's Bay V-neck from JCPenney
