The seller followed up to make sure everything was great."

Best monster pregnancy Halloween costumes

Best pregnancy Halloween costumes Maternity Monster Eye Ball
Price: £11.99

Description

Taking a Mike Wazowski costume and making it a great pregnancy Halloween T-shirt, the Maternity Monster Eye Ball Tee is soft and a lovely shade of green. While it's a maternity style top, you might want to size up for comfort and more accurate placement of the eyeball on your bump, (especially if you're nearly full term!)

One review said: "Exactly what I wanted. I sized up but didn’t need to, since this was actually a maternity cut shirt, but looks fine with the extra room too. Placement of face was fine. I was nervous to order based on other reviews but was glad I did!"

Pros

  • Cotton blend
  • Subtle yet effective

Cons

  • Some mentioned the eye sits slightly higher on the bump, but sizing up prevented this problem

When is Halloween?

Halloween is celebrated on the last day of October, which is the 31st. This year, Halloween is on a Tuesday.

Why do we celebrate Halloween in the UK?

You may be wondering why we celebrate Halloween in the UK. Although indeed, it isn't as popular as in America, the holiday has grown in popularity here. Whether that is because of the super cute Instagram pumpkin-picking pics you can get or not, who knows? However, you would be wrong to think that this is a new craze. Halloween has been celebrated in the UK going back to the Celtic times - that's more than 2,000 years.
