For our second Family Halloween Costume, allow me to present to you…
Madame Cruella, her right-hand man Jasper, and a couple of Dalmatian pups!
…Or rather, as Major reminded me, a Dalmatian Mom and a Dalmatian Pup. “You are too old to be a puppy, Mama.” NOTED. Lol.
I love this costume, as it allowed me to repurpose things I already had for Marlowe and my costumes, and to buy a few things to complete the vibe. Marlowe was an ENTIRE MOOD while dressed as Cruella for this shoot, and I have to say I was glad when she took the costume off and returned to normal. I technically have a few years left before teenage attitude arrives thankyouverymuch. I also can’t actually deal with Mateo in a Dalmatian costume. I wish Halloween was longer than one day a year!

Dudley Stephens fleeces are great staples to incorporate into a Halloween costume! They come in virtually every color imaginable and you’ll have them forever!

This is the dress Marlowe was wearing (under $20!!!)

Women's Therma-FIT High-Waisted Full-Length Leggings
Nike
These are the leggings I wore with my costume! Super comfy!
Panoramic Long Wear Lip Liner in Raven (Similar)
Hourglass
I find that lip liner works best instead of lipstick because it’s less likely to smear or wipe off.

These are really amazing family halloween trends. Thanks for sharing them all. Love all of them.
Thank you!
This family costume idea is absolutely adorable! I love the creativity behind the “101 Problems but a Cute Dalmatian Ain’t One” theme — it’s clever, fun, and so well-executed. Everyone looks fantastic, and it’s clear a lot of love (and humor!) went into pulling this together. Thanks for the inspiration — I might just borrow this idea for next year!
This costume idea is just too cute! 🖤 I love how you used items you already had and mixed in just enough new pieces to pull off the Dalmatian / Cruella vibe. The humor (“a cute Dalmatian ‘ain’t one”) is perfect and so relatable when wrangling kids into costumes. The matching ears/tail + cozy fleece = totally inspired. Thanks for the idea — I might try something similar next Halloween!
