Happy Halloween, or is it?

Well I'm stumped.  I received an email from a lady who purchased one of my Halloween dresses last year for her little girl.  She was looking to see if I am going to be listing dresses again this year.  I LOVE Halloween, I love the dresses, the outfits, the costumes, the decorations, the food, the fun, the everything!  This alone makes me want to do Halloween dresses, but I'm creatively blocked right now.  You can actually see the direct result of this on my stagnant Etsy store!  I haven't added anything new all summer!!!


Okay, so I want to do dresses, but they take a long time to do, they have to be done per order (like the bags) if they are to be monogrammed or personalized in any way.  And, oh yeah, I have no idea what to make!!!  I'm about sick of pillowcase dress and A-line's, however, these possess the best applique surfaces.  I need to browse some patterns or make one of my own.  I thought of doing skirts, but not everyone likes skirts and I hate HATE putting stuff on t-shirts.  So, ho hum, what to do, what to do. 

If anyone out there has any ideas, or anything they'd like, let me know!  If you come up with and idea and I use it I'll make your little one (or a friends, whatever) the spec dress!!!

Here's last years (and some previous years) little numbers:
