Girl Twins

Girl twins will often want to dress as the same princess or superhero.  If you are looking for coordinating costumes, here some ideas:  any combination of Disney Princesses, Supergirl and Wonder Woman, Power Puff Girls, and Black Widow and Harley Quin.  Other girl twin Halloween costume ideas are: Princess Leia and Rey, butterfly and ladybug, Wilma and Betty, and Dorothy and the Wicked Witch/Glinda.

When looking for costumes for your girl twins, don’t rule out traditional boy costumes.   These adorable Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum costumes  (available here) are a great example of taking a traditional boy costume and turning it into a girl costume.
