Tips and Tricks for a Spooktacular Emily Costume

Tips	Tricks
Choose the perfect striped fabric. Emily's signature dress features thick, black and white stripes so opt for a fabric that will hold its shape.	To achieve Emily's tattered look, carefully distress the fabric using a razor blade or sandpaper.
Create the ethereal hairpiece. Gather lengths of tulle in various shades of white and gray and drape them over your head to create Emily's loose, flowing hair.	Pin the tulle in place at the crown of your head and secure with bobby pins.
Accessorize with spooky details. Black lace gloves, a skull hair clip, and a Victorian choker will complete your Emily costume and add an extra touch of spookiness.	To add a personal touch, consider incorporating Emily's signature blue butterfly into your accessories.
