So are you looking forward to Halloween ? Most people that love Halloween can't wait to dress up in a favorite costume and live out a little fantasy they have always had. So whether they want to be Lara Croft, Indiana Jones, Jessica Rabbit or a Hot Dog for a night, Halloween is their time to shine. One costume that probably doesn't get on many peoples list is the convict Halloween costume. This article will give you some context to the costume and some ideas on why it might work for Halloween.
Convict sounds like a pretty old fashioned word to me. It's not used so much these days, although you might hear the word ex-con applied to somebody who has done their stint in the big house and is now on the straight and narrow.
In Australia and to some extent America it has a strong association with the past as many of the first European settlers of these continents were described as convicts. They were convicted of some crime, be it relatively minor to quite serious, and transported to Australia. At the height of this practice, the distance from Britain to Australia was an immense journey that could take up to a year to complete. Many wouldn't last the journey or see out their sentence. The perception was that they were going to a harsh land and leaving their friends and family for good. This was quite a punishment but many of the convicts that saw out their sentence and stayed on in Australia and America became founding fathers/mothers of these new nations and became prosperous and wealthy.
So what did a typical convict wear in those days. Well they probably wore the clothes they had with them. Convicts that were prisoned would wear the old black and white striped outfit that is typically associated with a convict costume. Convicts were often attached to a heavy steel ball so that they couldn't move fast or try to escape.
This sort of costume is perfect for people that don't want to dress up too much. They are comfortable and do not require too much in the way of accessories. If you want to have a bit of fun with the costume then you can get a ball and chain accessory. You can even get a ball costume for your spouse if you want to go as a couple and have a bit of fun with your relationship. Another couple idea is for one to go as a cop and another as a convict. This way you may have to be handcuffed together all night, which might be just what you want.
