By Sara Lugardo
For adults, Halloween can be much more than just a candy-themed holiday geared towards children. Halloween is a favorite holiday by many women because of the ability to play pretend and show a sexy side. With numerous Chicago nightclubs and bars holding annual Halloween costume nights and contests, many women find it fun to wear a sexy costume one night a year. However, finding a sexy Halloween costume doesn't have to mean spending a lot of money. There are some great finds in the Chicago area for less than $20.

Price: $14.99
This costume is "Wonder Woman-esque" in that it comes complete with a gold headband and gold wristbands with red star accents. The cape has a front tie closure and is short enough not to hinder movement. With an affordable purchase price of $14.99, this is a great way to bring out the sexy superhero in you for Halloween. Paired up with some thigh-highs or knee-high boots will complete the look.
Sexy Banana
Halloween Land
4113 N. Harlem Ave.
Norridge, IL 60634
(866) 603-5263

Price: $15.99
This is a fun and sexy take on the women's version of the banana costume. While the men's version is basically a large banana with a hole cut out for the face, the female version has far more sex appeal. The costume is a simple one-piece mini dress that looks like a peeled banana. The start of the peal begins at the cleavage and there is a zipper detail down the middle of the dress to suggest pealing the banana even further. The costume is able to stand on its own but can be dressed up with some thigh-high stockings or even just a simple pair of heels.
Private Nurse
Lover's Lane
955 W. Diversey Parkway
Chicago, IL 60614
(773) 472-0000

Price: $18
This is a two-piece nurse's costume but far from the plain old candy striper look. The skirt is a micro mini and the top is a bandeau style with a halter neck loop. The costume is red and white with a Red Cross detail to top off the look. This costume is definitely not for the faint of heart due to its skirt length and midsection baring look. Paired with some white stockings and maybe a toy stethoscope found at your local dollar store will complete this look.
Miss Mafia
Lover's Lane
955 W. Diversey Parkway
Chicago, IL 60614
(773) 472-0000

Price: $19.95
The 1930's gangster look has always been popular in previous Halloweens but even more so with popular shows like "Boardwalk Empire" and movies like "Lawless." This costume includes a pink and black pinstriped mini dress with a short and pleated skirt. There is an attached tie and pink wrist cuffs with dollar sign cufflinks. Adding a few of your own touches will make the costume customized so you will feel your sexiest. Whether it's your favorite fedora hat or a pair of fishnet stalking, this will make heads turn at any costume party.
Pirate Booty
Party City
1514 W. 33rd St.
Chicago, IL 60608

Price: $19.99
Party City is one of the largest places for Halloween costumes at a reasonable price. Its website boasts sexy Halloween costumes starting at $12.99 but many of the clearance items are only available online. If you're unwilling to deal with the hassles that come with online shopping, visiting a Party City location can be just as rewarding when it comes to finding great deals on sexy Halloween costumes. The Pirate Booty costume is a clearance item that can be found there because the style has been discontinued. It is a two piece black, red and gold trimmed costume. With a satiny feel, corset covering and playful pirate hat with feather; this is a great look for Halloween.
