Should 11-Year-Olds Dress Up As French Maids and Sexy Nurses for

By A Mystery Man Writer

For Halloween this year, 11-year-old Ruby Karp dressed up as a hipster pumpkin—she wore an orange velour costume made by her friend's mom, black-and-orange tights, and orange Converse. Other kids may have opted for store-bought tween costumes—like this Goldilocks tween super-miniskirt costume (with a choker?), left—but not Karp. Turns out the pre-teen costume market is plagued by the same problem as the women's costume market—i.e. too little costume, too much skin. "Can you imagine trying to decide what costume is sexy and which is not with your mom?" Karp writes in a blog post. "Do you know how embarrassing that is? Well, believe it. I have to do that every Halloween."
