There have been examples of minifig costumes in Lego Mania Magazine,
usually characters hanging around with various contest winners.

Also, I believe it was Minx Kelly who had a unique Lego costume--I seem to

them together, putting bricks on them, and wearing them in place of
trousers.  Not for the faint-of-heart.  Or children.
