Who wore it better: Cora in 2017 … or Kate in 1983?

Pam Kueber - Updated: October 31, 2017

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.


Yes, Kate already has Cora, 1, wearing vintage: Kate’s 1983 Halloween costume, a fluffy little pumpkin number with sassy hat that little ms.’ and misters find … timelessly terrifying. Kate’s mom Chris saved the costume all these 34 years, as moms are wont to do. A classic! Orange is the new black, or should we say: Orange and black are the new black. Happy Halloween, and thank you darling Katiedoodle for this priceless update.

    So adorable! It’s so much fun to see Kate, Cora and Leo. As others have said, neither seems too pleased with the whole experience. Maybe when Cora realizes that she gets candy for dressing up like a pumpkin, things will be looking up for her! ????????????

    OMG! Thanks so much for brightening my day! These certainly aren’t Ann Geddes pics! They both nailed the impression of Edvard Munch “The Scream”.
    Good to see Leo on the job investigating who’s picking on his sweetie baby.
    Hmmm, I wonder what expression will be on Cora’s face when she meets Santa.

      Leo sees all and understands nothing.

    It’s great to see Kate again! Love that they both have the same expression.

    Wonderful to see a Kate & Cora update! Neither of them seems to enjoy wearing that costume – probably the hat.

      It most definitely is the hat. She was fine until we put it on.

        Astro is always fine with costumes too — until the hat!

    I couldn’t possibly choose the cuter trick-or-treater.

    I will only remark that pumpkins for carving must have been more affordable in the eighties.

    How adorable! Just had my 6th grand 3 weeks ago. He’s a clone of my son! Of course I saved outfits and Cora will do the same! Hope we get to see more with Santa in a few weeks…er make that days! ????????????

      I also saved my daughter’s first Halloween costume, a panda bear outfit that I made. Yes: When the first grandbaby comes, they better watch out!

        I wonder if whoever wrote that «Horror gets handled down to the next generation» was thinking about that… :O

    They both have the same expression on their faces. How cute. Been hoping to see Miss Cora.
