All Hallows Eve is the time that spirits
come back walk the earth, so what better time can you think of to be a ghost
yourself? Below are some great ghostly costumes!
The
Gossamer
Ghost Costume
is a vision in
white and a very
classy ghost costume. The costume
includes a long white,
flowing dress, white hooded cape and a long white wig.
This costume is very comfortable one to wear and is
perfect for haunting your house, neighborhood or at a Halloween Party.
It also is forgiving to figure flaws as it's a very spacious costume.
Makeup: We used a white grease paint all
over the face and neck, followed with a light gray around the eyes to
give a shallow look. You could also add a pair of the White Out
contacts, featured above, to really give it a ghostly look!
The Gossamer Ghost
is also available in a child's costume! Just right for that
mother and daughter night out trick or treating or family Halloween
party!
The
Skeleton Bride
She may not be an actual ghost but this costume is very ghostly looking!
She was left at the altar and now out for blood! The costume includes
the dress, veil, choker, lace gloves and tie
string for bodice. Add a bouquet of black silk roses, black hose and
shoes to finish this costume off.
Make-up:
Go gray-white and ghastly on the face and neck, use a black grease pencil to
surround eyes with dark circles and blend in for a sunken, hollow look. Use a
darker gray grease
paint to hollow the cheeks and black for the lips. You can add lace gloves or do the hands
in gray-white as well.
We love this great
costume, Lady Nightshade: The Ghost Bride! Be a ghastly bride in
this gray dress with sheer gray overskirt, white lace wrist inserts,
white lace neckband and gray veil.
It's available in a
variety of adult sizes ranging from Large (12-14), Medium (8-10) and
Small (4-6). Her shoes are not included so you'll have to pick up some
Victorian style shoes to complete the costume.
This is a very high end
costume! You could pair this with the men's costume, below, for a
ghastly, ghostly bride and groom couples costume or a real Halloween
wedding!

"White
Out" contacts
lenses would make a perfect final touch for any of these haunting costumes and
would add real impact to the look! Available
from
FX Eyes. Add a
ghostly white make-up such as the ones used below and you're all set! |

The Ghostly Gal
Your Halloween party just got spookier if you wear this fascinating
ghost costume! It includes the gray dress shown here with attached
capelet and peplum detail, matching gauntlet gloves, and coordinating
floppy hat with attached veil - all tattered for an aged effect.
You'll want to add a long gray wig or spray your own long hair gray for the night with one of the many temporary hair color
sprays available. Add a ghostly make-up, black nails and lipstick and
you are all set!
This costume is available in One Size Fits Most for ladies (fits sizes 8 -14). Pair with the Ghostly Gent, below, for a
spine-chilling couples costume.
Ghostly Gent Elite Collection
This fully finished costume includes a light gray coat, velvet vest with
attached shirt sleeves & front buttons, pants with elastic waist band
and front zipper, dickie with scarf collar and matching top hat - all
tattered for aged effect. It's so complete that the gloves and wig also
included! It's available in men's adult sizes Medium, Large, and
X-Large.
Remember a bald wig cap (sold separately) to hold in
your own hair, unless you have a short hair cut. Add a make-up to this
same as the ladies version, used above for the Gossamer Ghost. Just use
a lighter hand when applying for the guy. Add a pair of white shoes and
socks as they are not included. Pair with the Ghostly Gal for a very cool
couples costume.
For a Halloween wedding, any of
these costumes would do for the bride and groom. The bridesmaids
could also be in one type of costume, groomsmen in another.

Ghosts are often
portrayed as a corpse wearing a white bed sheet. This comes from
the age old tradition of dressing the deceased in a burial
shroud, veil or sheet made from white cottom, wool or linen. |
