6 creative costumes from York's Masquerade Ball

Christopher Quigley, of Spring Garden Township, was the talk of the party with this Marie Antoinette-inspired costume. Quigley said he made the costume himself over the course of several years.

Stacy Hammel, of Spring Garden Township, made this "Once Upon A Time"-inspired Evil Queen jacket and blouse special for the Masquerade Ball. Her mask is a temporary tattoo, which she said is a great alternative for someone who wears glasses.

i-ron-ic co-owners David Smith, left, and Steve Billet made their swan hats out of a window display they had in the store for the last three months. Smith's look was made by wrapping a black feather boa around a marching band hat and attaching the swan, he said. Billet said he added a pair of sunglasses because they look like swan eggs.

Gregory Arthur, of York City, said he was going for a lucha libre look. He bought the mask the last time he was in Mexico.

Tim Miller, of Spring Garden Township, said he chose this light-up Guy Fawkes mask because it fit well with his glasses and he thought no one else would have the same one. He was right.

Scott Simonds, of York City, said he likes to go above and beyond, especially for Halloween. So, rather than just a mask, he rented this knight costume from Make Believin' Costumes.
