Great Costumes for Every Body

By: Abby Schwartz

If you love your abs, bare that midriff! There is nothing sexier than a toned tummy, so grab a tube top or bikini out of your summer wardrobe and work from there.

  1. The Genie:
    • The Basics: A colorful tube top, palazzo pants worn at the hips, a short vest, a high pony tail (if you can) and of course, a magic lamp.
    • The Trick: To really look great in your skimpy tube top, try a killer ab routine.
    • The Treat: Someone will surely offer to make all your wishes come true.
  2. The Hula Girl:
    • The Basics: A bikini top (made from coconuts, if you dare), a grass skirt and a bunch of colorful leis.
    • The Trick: Before you showcase that sexy stomach, try this ab-toning workout.
    • The Treat: Place a lei around a stranger's neck and make a new friend!
  3. Carmen Miranda:
    • The Basics: A ruffled blouse tied under your breasts, a colorful sarong, high heels and the entire produce section of your local grocery store (to pile on top of your head).
    • The Trick: Find love at the party -- but make sure to lose those love handles first!
    • The Treat: If you get hungry while dancing the night away, your costume comes complete with snacks.
