Red Riding Hood Costumes Undecovered
Little Red Riding Hood is the main character in a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. She is a girl who got her name because of the red hooded cloak or cape that she wears when goes to her grandmother's house to bring her some food. The big bad wolf does not want to eat the girl in public so he asks her where she is going and she tells him that she is going to her sick grandmother's house. While Little Red Riding Hood is walking in the woods, the wolf goes to her grandmother's house and and eats her. He then disguises himself as the girl's grandmother and waits for her.
When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices various things that seem strange about her "grandmother." When she comes to that part where she notices the wolf's big teeth, the wolf grabs her and swallows her. Luckily, a hunter arrives and cuts the wolf open so that Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother come out unharmed. In other versions of this fairy tale, the grandmother has not been eaten but has been locked in the closet and the hunter arrives just in time to save Little Red Riding Hood from being eaten. There are various interpretations of this fairy tale, and many of them are sexually related.
The two vital components of the Little Red Riding Hood costume are the red hooded cape and the picnic basket where she carries the food that she is bringing to her grandmother. This costume is very convenient for girls who plan to go trick or treating during Halloween but adults who want to wear something sexy can also use it. This is because they could wear a short skirt with the red hooded cape. It is easy to sew the red hooded cape but you can also buy it from a store. Complete outfits can also be ordered from online stores, just in time for Halloween.
The Little Red Riding Hood costume is relatively cheap because all you need are the picnic basket and the hooded cape. You can wear any outfit under the hood although it is not advisable to wear a red-colored dress to ensure that the red cape stands out. A pair of red shoes can go well with the outfit. Male escorts for Little Red Riding Hood can use the Big Bad Wolf costume while female escorts can dress up like the grandmother.

Any ideas for a Little Red Riding Hood costume?
I am 16 and I want to go as Lil' Red Riding Hood--it has to be cute (and look good, if you know what I mean!) but not slutty or, well, childish. I have to have something relatively safe because I have to wear it to work, but it has to look good on me too! Any ideas?
***I DO NOT WANT TO BUY ONLINE!***
I meant 17, sorry, my finger hit the wrong key! I'm a high school senior.
I know you said you don't want to buy online, but the best way to show you ideas is by giving you online links, so here is a big list of red riding hood costumes I found at Nextag:

I think this one is the best of the ones that I found:

This one was pretty good too:

This one is cute but the skirt might be a little too short:

I think that the most important element of the cotume is that you wear the red cloak. That was always red riding's signature. Also make sure that you carry the picnic basket with you. As long as you have those two main elements, you could probably get away with any red dress or skirt along with it. Well, good luck and have fun!
