Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble, it's almost time for the witching hour! Halloween is fast approaching, the most classic icon of the season of terror is the cackling witch riding about on her broomstick. That makes it an easy and great choice of costume for parties and trick-or-treating, with a wealth of costumes to choose from. To help you narrow down your choices, I've featured my top ten favorites here.
If you are shopping from the UK or EU, find witch costumes here.
Let's start off with some easy, simple and classic witch looks. When you picture one of the sorceresses of the damned, you usually think black dress, long fingernails, pointy hat and a broomstick. Well, here are few costumes that fit the bill.
If you're a short and sexy mini-dress kind of gal, then take a peek at Leg Avenue's Bewitching Witch costume up above. If you like it, I strongly recommend getting
a black petticoat like this one to give the skirt some lift. You can get a similar dress in deep and bold red too, see the costume at the top of the page, which comes with the dress, hat, and the cute gloveletts and belt.
If you are looking for a longer and more conservative dress, then there are a lot of options available there too. Leg Avenue makes a very cute and sexy number in the Sultry Sorceress style featured on the right, which comes with the incredible dress with flowing net cape and the matching crooked witch hat. I love the off-the-shoulder look of the dress, any girl is sure to look amazing.
Want something in between? Try the cute ragged cut purple sorceress costume on the left. Each set comes with the dress, the matching hat, the eyeball medallion and the eyeball hand accessory. You can get a great wig to go with it (or any of these costumes)
here.
This one is my personal favorite of the costumes on this list, InCharacter Costumes' Bewitching Beauty costume. The purple and black coloring is both atmospheric and really elegant, and the cut of the skirt and the pattern on the bodice are very unique and eye-catching. Each set of this costume comes with the beautiful corset style dress and the matching pointy hat.
Looking for something bright, colorful and bold with a bit of Halloweeny zest? How about tossing a lick of orange into your outfit? Above are two awesome orange and black witch costumes for you to check out - the candy corn themed costume on the right especially matches the season. You can even
buy matching candy corn colored Mary Jane shoes to go with it. Pretty cool!
If you want something quite unique to make you stand out from the other witches, then why not pick up a costume with an unusual cut in the skirt? For example, check out the gorgeous Broomstick Babe costume above, with its beautiful asymmetric skirt with lace overlay and pretty matching hat. Be sure to get the
matching petticoat here in order to give the skirt some lift.
Another unusual look is the mini-dress and long-skirt dark green combo featured on the right. I love the lacy sleeves and hanging sleevelets too, its another thing that makes this costume stand out from the crowd. Each costume also comes with the matching hat.
Last but not least, on the left we have a sexy and revealing outfit with a purple skirt and matching witchy hat. If you prefer the costume without the cut skirt, fear not, because the hem is completely adjustable, meaning you can have it as a normal long skirted dress if you like. If on the other hand you like cut-leg look, be sure to check out
this black and red dress as well.
So there you go! Those were my top ten favorite witch costumes for this year's Halloween festivities. I hope you found at least one that is perfect for you! If you didn't, be sure to check out the rest of my blog for loads more costume ideas for women of all ages. Have fun!
