How to Pick a Dress for a Witch Costume

Video Transcript

"Hello, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you to make a witch costume today. Before we deal with the wonderful world of makeup we need to get our witches costume together. First one of the easiest mistakes to make is to start putting on your great wonderful makeup and get it almost all the way done and you realize that you are still in plain clothes. That is not good you don't want to be smearing off that wonderful makeup job that we just did. So first lets get some clothing for our witch. Now for the main piece I suggest basically a black top and you can get a lot of these from anywhere from a thrift shop to a costume store, I mean all over the place. Basically the main characteristics of it if you are looking for a female which we are doing today is that it will be like relatively tight fitting not to tight just kind of snug. A bit of a circle cut for the neck line and then the sleeves will come out and kind of flair up the ends and they might have some shedding, the might not but we can get sort of a theory, mystical quality. This is something that people learn now days at least not outside the parish runway so just think about this for your witches costume that this is going to be the key kind of piece kind of outside the makeup. A lot of people you can have a lot of variations but as long as you have the nice little black centerpiece with the little bit of flaring arms you are going to be really set. "
