Halloween is over for another year and so it’s time to put the fancy dress costumes back into the cupboard (and start taking out the Christmas decorations). For the last few weeks we have been providing Halloween fancy dress and make up ideas that were simple and affordable. We asked readers to send in any inspiring ideas and these group of trick or treaters exceeded all expectations.
Some genius costumes, some seriously cute kids, and some down right horrifying get-ups. Here are the best Her.ie reader’s fancy dress outfits. A huge thanks to all of those who sent in an image. Until next year…

Her.ie reader Whitney Jordan sent us in this picture of best friends, Feena Glynn and Cliodhna Crowley dress up as the Peru Two. Controversial, but amazing all the same.
