Halloween Costumes for American Girl Dolls

Here are a bunch of fun ideas for Halloween Costumes for American Girl Dolls that you can make at home.  Dressing up dolls is a such a great way to express ideas, be creative and experiment with fashion.  These are all costumes that we made when the girls were a little younger.  I gathered them up to share with you with the hopes that they will inspire you to create this Halloween season.

American Girl Candy Corn Apron

This apron is so easy to make.  It is fun because while these three colors make a candy corn apron, any colors could be used to create lots of aprons.  Start by sewing three pieces of felt and some ribbon together to measure about 7 inches tall by 7 inches tall.

Cut the sewn piece in the triangle shape of a candy corn and sew on ties that will secure the apron around the neck and the waist of your doll.

American Girl Doll Witch Costume Ideas

To make a witch costume for a doll, dress her in all black and add crazy hair and a hat.  This hair was created by dyeing a canvas bag orange then cutting it into strips to create wild hair.

American Girl Doll Bunny Costume

American Girl Bunny Costume

To whip up a bunny costume, you will need fur fabric and a sewing machine.  Start by tracing around your doll on the back of the fur fabric leaving an extra 3/4 inch all the way around.  Cut out two of these.

Sew these together with the fur sides facing inside then flip it. Cut a slit down from the neck on one side to create an opening that allows the doll to be dressed.  It can be secured closed with sewn on ties.

Make a pink pom-pom from yarn and glue it to the back for a tail.

Additionally, use leftover fur fabric to make ears and secure them to a doll sized headband.  The ears pictures are actually girl hair clips.

  11. My favorite is Samantha, I loved her books as a kid, but never had an American Girl doll. My daughter has a Samantha doll but she cut her hair, so we will be sending her to the doll hospital.

  16. It is so very hard to pick my favorite AG doll…Samantha was my very first, I LOVE Jess because my mom bought her for me, Kaya is special because my mom loved her, I love Kanani because she’s gorgeous, and Gabriella because he story is amazing…

  20. Blaire is our favorite. But there all so pretty. Would love to win. Thank you so much for the chance. Blessings.

  24. Samantha was the first doll and it was for my daughter (there were only 3 dolls then) My oldest Grand has several and the next one has Rebecca

  25. Kirsten was always my fav growing up as she was my first ❤️ I also LOVE all of these costume ideas- the apron is just too cute!

  28. This costumes are fabulous! My daughter Rebecca is a huge Harry Potter fan and especially loves the Hermione Granger costume. Our favorite doll is of course the Rebecca doll. 🙂

  32. It’s hard to say what my favorite is, but I have really excited about Courtney, as she represents my childhood! I also have Kit and Joss on my list and I own Nanea, Blaire, and the Rainbow haired TM.

  37. I love all the historical dolls and Courtney is my new favorite! I have 2 little girls that would lose their minds over winning her.

  43. As my grandkids would say, I like them all! I think I’m a little bit partial to Rebecca. I’m hoping to win this doll for my granddaughter. I love your costume ideas!

  46. Kaya & Samantha are my favorites. I just can’t choose between these two. Thank you for the chance to win. I wanted one so bad but we couldn’t afford it. So now I’m saving my pennies hoping to get one for my girls. Fingers & toes crossed. Good luck all! God bless

  56. I have to say that Saige has always been my favorite. Maybe it is because she looks so much like my teen when she was younger and it was the first one she ever liked and we bought her.

  58. I think Samantha and Felicity were my favorites growing up. My daughter loves Luciana who she renamed Emily. Poor Emily has been dragged around and redressed over and over again.

  64. I liked the doll Samantha, although I have never owned my own. I have two small girls, and I think they would enjoy playing with their own doll. The clothes are really cute.

  66. Samantha is my favorite because she was my first granddaughter’s first American Girl doll. They are all wonderful and the American Girl Doll Store is like Disneyland for doll lovers. Your costume ideas are cute and doable for girls. Thank you for this chance to win a doll.

  68. I love Samantha the best but I love how they all have their own story about who they are. I love that they have such a diverse selection of dolls.

  78. I think all of the American Girl Dolls are adorable. The Luciana Doll really is a cutie! I do all the outfits above as well. My niece would love them and the Courtney Doll!

  88. Blair has been my favorite lately – our family is of Irish extraction so we’re partial to redheads. But the 80s is my jam so Courtney is giving her Blair a run for her money as potential new favorite 😀

  111. Samantha was always my favorite!! I love the Hermione Granger costume too. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you. Happy Fall!

  112. Samantha was always my favorite. When I was younger, there was a catalog and only three dolls. I loved all of her clothes and accessories! I love the Hermione Granger costume too. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you. Happy Fall!

  119. I am new to American Dolls, but I would love to win one for my granddaughter. I just think that would be the most exciting thing for her!!!

  120. I just took my daughter to the American Girl Doll store here in Dallas. It made me want to go back to being young and have all that cute stuff!
