7 White-colored Halloween Costumes for Women
Are you still looking for possible costumes that you can wear for Halloween? Are you still having a hard time deciding on which outfit to go with, considering that there are so many that you can choose from and they all differ in styles, designs, sizes and even colors?
Why don't you consider wearing a white-colored costume for Halloween? But why would anyone want to do this? And what are some of the different kinds of white-colored outfits that you can find and acquire?
White Corpse Countess
The Color White
White can have the connotation of symbolizing light, goodness and all those other wonderful and positive traits.
It can look beautiful and lovely, innocent and pure, which can make it seem like it wouldn't be such an apt color for Halloween, at least not by itself.
However, the color white can also be fit for the holiday in question.
White can evoke feeling of fear and unease as well as other colors, like black, can especially if there is too much of it.
Imagine everything around you blanketed in the color white.
Everywhere you look, you can see nothing but white and more white. Even people are colored white from head to toe and it's not just their clothes.
Venetian Statue Costume
These things may be in different shades but they are all still white.
What would you feel upon being presented with such a scenario?
Too much white can make people wary and unsettled as they wonder what is going on and fear what is to come.
White can also mean silence and too much silence can be unnerving and creepy as you wonder why everything and everyone is so silent that it's like a portent of doom.
White Costumes
It is for this reason that the color white can be a perfectly apt and suitable color for Halloween.
There are actually a number of all-white costumes that you can find and choose to wear for the occasion.
You could try to creep people out by being colored white from top to bottom or look exquisitely stunning with an all-white gown that could make you seem like a winter goddess or a snow queen of some sort.
Here are some of the different kinds of white-colored Halloween costumes for women:
White Corpse Costume
While wearing an all-white getup can make you look disturbing and creepy, it doesn't mean that you also cannot look beautiful albeit in a cold, unfeeling sort of way.
Take a look at the InCharacter Costumes, LLC Corpse Countess, White, Large featured above as an example.
The entire white outfit looks classy and fit for a countess and yet, because everything is in white, it also fits that of a corpse and adds that disturbing aspect to an otherwise gorgeous-looking costume.
For the full effect, make sure to wear white makeup, don a white wig and only wear white-colored jewelry as part of your accessories. With this costume, the color of your shoes won't matter as much because it would hardly be seen, considering the length of this gown.
White Statue
Statues aren't supposed to be able to move. They are supposed to be still, frozen in time, and stuck in the same position as when they were created.
So, how would you feel if you see a statue suddenly move?
If you'd rather be the one startling people, then you can be the moving statue by dressing up as one with costumes like the California Costumes Female Venetian Statue Set.
The all-white color of this costume just seems to make your statue impersonation more unnatural and disturbing, which makes it perfectly apt for Halloween.
You even get the molded white hair piece, which really helps to complete your statue look and make it more believable.
White Ghost
Halloween is the perfect time for ghosts to be wandering around and some of them can even scare people with their mere presence.
But who wouldn't be scared upon seeing an all-white figure suddenly show up from seemingly out of nowhere?
Of course, if you show up dressed in an outfit like the InCharacter Costumes, LLC Ghostly Lady Adult Plus Full Length Gown, then people might be more inclined to look and be impressed with your awesome-looking costume as opposed to being terrified.
But you can easily rectify that by really acting like a ghost. The aforementioned costume includes the wig, hat, gloves, tulle petticoat and, of course, the tattered fabulous-looking full-length gown.
White Ghost Bride
Brides usually wear white dresses for their wedding so there would be nothing unusual about seeing a white-colored wedding dress.
However, if it just so happens that the bride is a ghost and even looks like one, then this would be cause for panic and fear amongst guests and the like as well as the groom unless he happens to be a ghost as well.
Get the chance to wear a wedding dress of sorts by being a ghost bride on Halloween with costumes like the Deluxe Victorian Ghost Bride Adult Costume Size Standard.
The bouquet of flowers is unfortunately not included with this costume but you could always get yourself some to add to your ghost bride look.
Ghost Bride Costume
Get white-colored flowers to really bring out the ghost look in your attire.
You do get the veil as part of the dress, which will definitely complete the bride and wedding gown look.
If you're going to a Halloween party or celebration as a couple, you could opt to be a ghost bride while your significant other can be a ghost groom.
With the proper make-up, both of you can look like ghosts what with being white from top to bottom.
And if you already have children, they could dress up as ghosts as well so you can be a family of ghosts.
Wow people as you enter the party with all of you looking and acting like ghosts with your white costumes, white wigs and white make-up.
White Ghost Pirate
Ghost Pirate Costume
For those who are trying to decide between dressing up as a pirate or a ghost for Halloween, if you still can't come to a decision, why don't you just dress up as both?
This is made possible with costumes like the Forum Womens Ghost Pirate Halloween Costume.
With this, you could be a ghost pirate and a fine-looking one at that.
Since you're wearing a short dress, you should make sure to also add some white make-up to your legs to make it look more ghost-like.
Wearing white boots or shoes is also a must if you're really keen on appearing as a ghost.
The pirate sword is unfortunately not included with this costume.
However, you could get yourself a white-colored one to really add to your ghost pirate look.
You could even swing it around and pretend to be fighting people with it.
And with the white hat included with your costume, you could declare yourself the captain of your fellow pirates especially if most of them have chosen to dress up as regular pirates for Halloween.
If you're going to celebrate Halloween with your lover with you dressed up as a ghost pirate, you could get him to don a male ghost pirate costume to match yours.
White Ghost Angel
Angels are usually thought to be dressed in white along with white-colored wings and even halos.
So it wouldn't be strange to see angels in beautiful white outfits.
However, even angels can come across as pretty scary and frightening when they are dressed all in white such as in the case of the Smiffys Cemetery Angel Costume, Cement, With Dress And Wings.
As a ghost angel, not only is your outfit all in white, your hair and visible body parts like your face are also colored white, which can really make you look scary depending on how you put on the makeup.
Snow, Ice, Winter Princess / Queen / Goddess / Fairy
Snow Fairy Costume
The color white can also be associated with snow, ice and winter.
These things can be powerful such as in terms of magical abilities and weapons.
For instance, you could be a snow, ice or winter princess, queen, goddess or fairy for Halloween with costumes like the Snow Fairy Costume - Womens X-Small.
You could get yourself a white-colored sword and pretend that it is made up of ice and you could even pretend to call hailstorms and snowstorms with your snow-based abilities.
As a fairy, instead of a sword, you could get yourself a white-colored wand instead. As a princess or a queen, you could don a white-colored crown or headpiece to indicate your royal status.
Of course, even as a goddess or a fairy you could still wear a crown. For instance, you could be a fairy princess or a fairy queen.
As a goddess, you could be one of the many winter goddesses from different mythologies or your could create your own goddess character and be her for Halloween.
