As Halloween approaches, the issue of costume becomes more and more relevant. You can solve the problem quickly and in an original way.
The image of the bride is one of the most popular in urban mystical stories. And with the release of the famous horror cartoon from Tim Burton, the dead bride found itself at the peak of popularity.
We'll tell you how to make a bride's Halloween costume with your own hands.
Costume base
Not a single bride's outfit can do without the main accessory - a wedding dress.
Suitable for him:
- old wedding dresses from my mother’s, or better yet, my grandmother’s closet;
- pieces of tulle or unnecessary curtains in gray, blue or white.
Important! You can create a costume based on a simple everyday dress, adding a long frayed skirt and a little imagination.
For a dead cartoon bride, you need to choose an outfit with elements of decay, as if damaged by time.
Therefore, uneven, torn tulle, thin nylon, chiffon, and lace will come in handy.
Additionally, holes “from time to time” can be emphasized with dark paints, tea leaves or even simple mascara.
Options for costumes and looks
In urban and rural horror stories there are many legends about deceased (or not quite) newlyweds, for each of whom you can come up with a costume to suit your taste.
Suicide
This is the image of a girl who committed suicide because of her lover’s betrayal, and her spirit is seeking revenge.
Here, to design a costume, you can use the appearance of mud from the river, a rope with a noose around the neck, and bloody stains.
We complement all this with appropriate makeup, and the suicidal bride is ready to go to the holiday.
Murderer
This will require blood and fake weapons.
A zombie in a wedding dress, dragging an ax behind her, looks especially impressive, like the famous film with Milla Jovovich.
Bloody lips and smudges on the neck and dress will make the costume even more sinister.
Dead Bride by Tim Burton
The cutest image of a deceased doll. It’s just that you’ll have to tinker a lot with makeup, achieving authenticity and similarity.
Eligible Attributes
To create a completely finished Halloween costume, every detail must be in place.
The deceased's makeup must be applied not only to the face, but also to the hands, if gloves are not provided.
IMPORTANT! A pale, made-up face can be ruined by lively pink arms or legs.
You need to select accessories carefully; if necessary, you need to modify them yourself: age them, paint them, cut them.
If a veil, gloves or tights (stockings) are expected, then they also require fine-tuning to fit into the style.
You can lightly soak them in tea leaves to give them a patina of time, make “rotten” holes in your knees or fingers, or stain them with “blood” or “grave soil.”
The main thing is that all the details of the costume are in the same style, and that the owner likes the finished outfit.
