Vampires
There are so many variations to a great vampire costume, and the best part is you can dress up as a different one every year.
This bodysuit features a shiny black texture and bright red contrast at the waistline. Bare shoulders and a low neckline will give you a sexy look while the high vampire collar and rich red of the long train shows that you’re bound for an Empress rule before long!
Adding a little fake blood always ups the costume game. The variation in the different styles of vampires makes for the perfect opportunity to wear them as a group costume!
Pirates
Why is it so fun to dress as a pirate? We don’t know, but there are so many variations of a pirate costume that it makes one of the all time great women’s costumes.
The long-sleeved peasant blouse pairs perfectly with the faux leather corset. The two-layer wrap skirt is printed with the skull and crossbones for style, while the striped leggings will keep you warm when the salty sea wind starts to whip up.
Enough of a treasure for you, scallywag? We didn’t even tell you about the the antique-brass-tone metal buckles. Wow! Well, we can’t help with the seasickness or the ship’s food, but as far as looking the part of a particularly savvy sailor in this classic choice, we got you covered, miss matey!
Skeletons
Become the rightful queen of Halloween in this showstopping Skeleton Queen Costume for Women!
This sultry look high-low dress has a beautifully rippling skirt that hits the mid-thigh in front and ends at mid-calf in the back. Shiny looped skirt detail makes this dress fit for an undead 18th-century court, and the matching sleeve puffs and high collar add the last word in macabre elegance.
The bodice has a flattering square neckline and a print of a skeleton’s ribcage and spine, while the long sleeves and leggings show the upper and lower bones of the arms and legs.
Dust off your best crown put on some black lipstick, give a wink and a nod to the grim reaper and prepare to meet your subjects . It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been gone from the mortal world – on Halloween night, you always rule!
Bride of Frankenstein
This is a pop culture icon that has stood the test of time.
This gown is gorgeous with the wrapped bandages setting off your ghostly pallor quite nicely! The corset is a nod to your brand-new stitches while the choker shows off the work that’s recently been done to your neck.
All you need now is that iconic hairdo for one of the most classic characters of Halloween to make your look complete.
Mummies
This is the perfect costume if you don’t really want to do anything crazy. Take the easy way and just throw on this dress! You will have a cute costume that is the best thing because it is so comfortable.
The dress is composed of a comfortable, lightweight jersey knit and fits close to the body, promising to feel like a gentler mummy wrap. To get the look of layered linen bandages, the white dress was given an all-over print of the desired texture—complete with natural wear and aging.
Ruching on the sides of the garment in all the right places and attached strips of matching print jersey knit further add to the layered look. Meanwhile, the low-cut V-neckline and above-the-knee hem add to the allure of the costume.
Complete your mummy outfit with the included hair tie and leg-warmers! If you’re looking to raise the fear or glamor factor, wigs and makeup are sure to help! Try luscious grey locks or creepy special effects prosthetics to create a legendary mummy costume! *Recommended that you size up for this costume*
Zombies
Show your team spirit and scare those mean girls while wearing this Zombie Cheerleader Costume for Women!
The outfit includes a long-sleeved shirt printed to look like green, decaying skin rotting away over an exposed ribcage and spine. The jagged red cropped tank top goes over the shirt and appears to be spattered with blood.
Add the green and gore-patterned leggings with their athletic sock detail and the bloody miniskirt. The two cute hair bows add a nice finishing touch.
Hippies
Depart from basic hippie designs with this next level World Peace Hippie costume!
This colorful ensemble breaks the mold with a pattern applied to high-waisted bell bottom pants. The crop top is fitted with long sleeves bearing luxurious pink fringe to make your dance moves extra radical. Topped off with a flower crown, you’re sure to spread peace, love, and harmony wherever you go!
