Halloween can be a ton of fun, but if you’re a busy student, working a full-time job, or just trying to adult as well as you can, creating an elaborate costume can feel overwhelming. Luckily, it’s not difficult to put together an amazing Halloween costume using pieces you might already have at home, and a little accessorizing magic. In fact, if you’ve got a white dress in your closet, you can create one of these simple costumes.
So bust out that summer LWD, your graduation frock, or the look you wore to your bridal shower, bachelorette, rehearsal dinner, or reception. In minutes, you’ll have a white dress Halloween costume sorted. Scroll on to get inspired!
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance Halloween costume, say for a last-minute party or get-together, you’ll probably love the low-effort vibes of the Space Cowgirl. We love this fringe dress for the Western vibes, and when you add a wide-brimmed hat and a pair of Western boots, the whole thing really comes together. To bring this look into the realm of space, we like these metallic boots that feel a little futuristic and fashion-y.
Feel beautiful and powerful on Halloween by embodying a Greek goddess! Choose a long, flowy white dress, lace-up heels, and gold accessories! Emphasize the goddess vibes by styling gold bangles high on your arm if you like, and decorate your natural, wavy hair with a delicate vine, just like a laurel wreath.
Floaty, dreamy, and romantic, this ballerina costume is perfect for someone who loves to dress to the nines and look their best. This floaty mesh dress feels every bit as elegant as the long tutus worn by prima ballerinas, and these gorgeous lace-up satin heels feel like a modern version of the point shoe. To complete the ballerina vibe, put your hair in a simple sleek bun.
If you like to lean into the spooky vibe of Halloween, you’ll nail this zombie bride look. Keep things simple with an LWD, then add a simple mini veil and satin pumps to complete the bridal style. The zombie touches are all in the makeup–go for a bold, dark, smoky eye and add a few drops of fake blood gel to your lips and chin for an extra gory finishing touch.
Easy but so cute, this fairy costume feels trendy while still being appropriate for Halloween. Start with a cute, ruffled mini dress, pair it with whimsical platforms, and finish the whole thing off with the most important part: the wings and the wand. If you’re feeling extra committed, put your hair in a high bun and add a glittery tiara!
