Help...inspiration needed for halloween fancy dress for 18 mth old...

My dd is going to an nct 'Boo' party at the end of October and it's fancy dress...Does anyone have any ideas for a VERY SIMPLE outfit? All I can think of is making a very simple orange tabard with a pumpkin face on. I doubt she would wear a mask, I don't want to use face paints but she would love wearing a hat....I'd be grateful for any ideas from all you creative people!

asda.tesco and woolworths all do very cheap outfits for little ones!

what about a witch? Make a tutu out of net in blacks, purples etc, team with a black t-shirt (or dye one you have already). Make a cat face out of felt to applique on to the front of the tee and just buy her a cheap broom and hat from any of the supermarkets (although I think Asda is best). There's a tutu tutorial here and it's really really easy.

Thanks for the suggestions, I really like the idea of the witch outfit....trouble is the party is being held in a church and I've got a feeling they would frown upon such a pagan costume!! I could make it less black though..she could be a benevolent witch/fairy person.
Sadly I don't really live near enough to an Asda or Tesco to have a look at their outfits.
sigh It all just seems a bit silly dressing up an 18 mth old!!

I made a wee alien outfit a couple of years ago, I am NO seamstress, mind you, but we thought it was rather cute, and effective enough
Would you like to see a picture? I could send it to you FFP.

WUB, if it's a halloween party then they'll be expecting witches aplenty (I wouldn't worry about the pagan nature.....halloween is hardly a Christian affair!!!! ) I was thinking more along the lines of a 'pretty' witch, an 18mth old would look pretty awful as a warts n all witch!
