Modest, you say? Do Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal". I did it 2 years ago, and it was a big hit.
Now, execution can vary, but mine was as follows... A black dress, long sleeved, with a very far dropping neckline in a V-shape. I then took several baby dolls, chopped them, and lined the V with several baby doll faces, larger ones around my neck and shoulders, looking a bit like a dead baby shawl. I then took several baby arms and legs and attached them to the sleeves in a very dangly/ornamental fashion, as well as down one side of the dress (a bit frilly... quite lovely). A wig, some make-up, and voila! I also painted the painted the babies black and white in a very faux-racist fashion, which I believe gave it a nice touch... but that's certainly optional.
All in all, a wonderful costume that's sure to be the hit of any party. It's also educational, as it's directly based on a a piece of classic literature which your children will be studying in highschool (if they haven't already). One can argue that it's a bit grotesque, but one can also argue that zombies are, too... and "A Modest Proposal" has much more educational/academic merit.

my friend one year did the "guy" from the movie "Jeepers Creepers" ~ it was awsome.
Just get a long trench coat, a cowboy type hat and a mask or
do his makeup to look like the "guy".
It was so good he won 1st place in the contest!!!
