|Wondering what to be for this Halloween? Perhaps you should consider a medieval costume. This is a great idea, as it doesn't matter if you're looking for a petite costume or a plus size medieval costume. And, with the right accessories, your Halloween costume can stand out from the crowd.
Most woman's Halloween costume involve a gown or skirt, and the type usually defines the outfit. One piece dresses can be great for queens and princesses, and skirts paired with bodices and chemises can work for saucy tavern wenches and common peasant girls.
If you're choosing to be royal, look for costumes online that offer trim that looks like what we imagine royalty would wear: gold, brocade, velvet, or lace looking trims give the illusion of wealth, which is what you're going for. When you look for a outfit, whether it's online or in person, see if it comes with a tiara of some sort. Often there's a crown or hat that will help show you're not a commoner.
For a great finishing touch, costume jewelry full of large, sparkling gems is a must. If you don't want to break the bank, check out thrift shops. Often, the jewelry is in display cases or under the counter, so you might have to ask to see some of it. Don't be shy! Why pass up that beautiful red gems amulet just because you're too nervous to ask to see it?
Tavern wenches and peasants are another type of medieval costume women can wear for Halloween. These costume are usually simpler in trim, although the costume themselves may have more pieces. Most wench don't have large strands of jewels, or clutch purses, so make yourself stand out by your simplicity. If you can, try layering two skirts of different contrasting colours, or pairing a coloured chemise under a solid coloured bodice and skirt. Or, use a bright coloured bodice with a dark skirt and light chemise.
If you must accessorize, consider using hairstyle held up with fancy hair pins or clips. A simple necklace of a thin gold chain and a locket would also work. Use a lotion with shimmer in it, and brush it on your shoulders, cleavage (if it shows), and cheekbones – pretty much anywhere the light will hit you. Use shimmery eyeshadow to highlight your eyes, or bold lipstick. You don't need many accessories to pull off the peasants, use yourself!
If your hair is short and you feel it will detract from your costume, try a medieval costume wig. There are a number of affordable, good looking wigs out there at many costume shops on and offline. For fun, try a hair colour different than your own. Go light if you're dark haired, or try a saucy red wig. Everyone loves red hair. The possibilities are varied with a wig and accessories.
