First, all Corpse Bride Halloween costume ideas begin with a wedding dress. It can be old or new, in any condition. Thrift stores often have them for around twenty dollars. Ideally, the gown should be strapless and have a long skirt with a slit, but this isn’t mandatory. Once you have a gown that fits, cut a hole in the side of the chest. Make sure the hole is large enough that your ribs can be seen. If there is no slit in the front, you will have to cut there as well.
Second, you will need a Corpse Bride wig and a bridal veil. Using temporary hair color is not a good idea, because it will rub off on the white dress and ruin the effect. You can either buy a blue and white wig at a Halloween store or make one yourself. You can use yarn or even tinsel for this purpose. The veil can be bought at the same thrift store as the dress, although you can hot glue white ribbon and tulle to a headband if nothing more suitable presents itself.
Third, you will need makeup. Corpse Bride costumes should have a pale blue face with deep shadows in the cheekbones and under the eyes. Simple Halloween makeup will be sufficient for this; just make sure to keep from getting it on the dress. Heavy eyeliner to make your eyes appear rounder as well as dark red lipstick will complete your look.
Last, you will need to create the look of bones where Corpse Bride is rotten. These areas include the rib area where you cut a hole earlier. The Corpse Bride also has a rotten right leg and left arm. Simple white makeup for the bone and black to create negative space should create a good effect.
As you can see, a Corpse Bride costume can be had on quite a small budget. This is just one of many Corpse Bride ideas designed to help you become the most beautiful dead wife anyone could ask for this Halloween.
