Apart from ready in a jiffy Chilean miner costumes, the fave costume this Halloween is the Amelia Earhart costume. Here are the factoids to bail you out from last minute jitters over Halloween costumes. Amelia Earhart was the sassy woman who was the first ever to fly across the Atlantic all on her own.

The net is abuzz with searches for this natty dresser in a stylish leather jacket, aviation goggles and crisp slim fit pants which give her the aura of a vintage Hollywood leading lady. Her hair was close cropped for an ebullient yet feisty look.The braveheart made the solo trip that earned her the plaudits and the honor of being the first woman flyer to achieve the feat of flying across the Atlantic Ocean.

The native of Atchison rewrote many more aviation records, but in a tragic incident, disappeared while on a record-setting feat traversing the Equator in 1937.

This Halloween, you can be Amelia Earhart incarnate. If you have a shearling aviator jacket, look no further, else just team your leather jacket with a swish high-neck sweater. Chicas with short hair will find this a win-win costume and get the Amelia Earhart look just right. Pair this with high-waisted white trousers and you are ready to trick or treat.

Hunt up your wardrobe for a vintage aviator cap, a silk scarf and extra-large gogs to complete the ensemble. The perfect Halloween 2010 couple is a rescued Chilean miner with Amelia Earhart gracing his bruised arm.
