If you’re trying to look both classy and scary this Halloween there are a few routes you can go. You could go with the popular seductive vampiress costumes or the less popular zombie princess… even with a tiara and a shiny dress, rotting skin and bits of brain stuck between teeth is quite terrifying. However, we would suggest you get your hands on this Women’s Day of the Dead Costume!

This blood-red faux suede and satin dress has more class than most know what to do with! Worry not, though, we’re positive you’re up for the challenge! With a sugar skull makeover, this costume is just as frightening as it is formal, the perfect combination of spooky and sweet. You’ll look like a menacing messenger from a supernatural realm that is walking the earth solely to pass the messages of the dead onto the living. The decorative roses placed at the neckline, along the pannier, and on each sleeve accent the shades of red on the dress and make for a hauntingly beautiful nightmare! However, it is the majestic headpiece that makes this Day of the Dead Costume complete. The crown of roses and the black lace veil adds a hint of mystery that will grab everyone’s attention. This sinister and charming look will make you the life of any party, whether you celebrate Halloween for a night or take part in the three-day celebration of Dia de Los Muertos.

For however long you decide to commemorate the dead with this costume make sure to uphold the traditions of the Mexican holiday. Focus on the friends and the family you have in your life and those that have moved on to their spiritual journey. Honor the dead by living life to the fullest this Halloween with this Day of the Dead Costume!
