Scary Dead Bride Costume

The animated movie "Corpse Bride" is the general model that many bride costumes featuring dead brides is based on, but don't feel the need to limit yourself. When putting together a dead bride costume, the only real limit is your own imagination. You can create a zombie bride from any period in history, so if you can sew, buy a pattern for a bridal gown from any time in history. A vampire bride qualifies as a dead bride by virtue of being the undead. The dead bride can be sexy or pretty, or she can be made up to authentically look ugly, bloody and scary.

The featured Dead Bride costume is a spaghetti strap dress with ribs exposed, high cut front with tattered long flowing train and headpiece.

One of the oldest ideas for a dead bride costume idea is one based on the classic 1930s Universal Studios horror flick, "The Bride of Frankenstein." The great thing about this scary bride costume idea is that any kind of wedding gown will do because what makes the costume is the Bride of Frankenstein wig. The Bride of Frankenstein is instantly recognizable not due to her dress, but rather to her updo hairstyle with the shocking lightning bolt of white hair zigzagging up the side. This dead bride costume is also something of a precursor to the goth bride by virtue of her dark eyeliner.
