Black Hooded Gown Costume

They say the little black dress is the ultimate staple of a woman's wardrobe, the cornerstone upon which all manner of casual and elegant outfits are built. The LBD, as it's often known, never goes out of style and pairs well with just about any other color. It's the fashion equivalent of comfort food, something reliable that you can always turn to when you just don't want to deal with the stress of making a decision.The supernatural world has its very own little black dress equivalent, and it's not even that much of a departure. Think about the various spooky ladies you've seen in movies over the years: the witches, the vampires, the sorceresses, the occult priestesses, the queens of the damned. They may not all dress identically, but you can absolutely find examples of each of those monstrous mavens rocking the classic long black gown, sometimes with a hood for added menace. Just because your interests tend less toward hitting the club with the girls and more toward unlocking the final seal and ushering forth a new reign of evil just as the prophecy foretold, that doesn't mean you can't abide by some basic rules of fashion.Add a scary staple to your closet with this ankle-length, form-fitting polyester dress, featuring a high neckline and jagged edges at the hemline and the flowing, batwing-style sleeves. Pull up the thick, padded hooded to bring an air of mystery to your next costume party and/or blood ritual. The worlds of fashion and the supernatural may be constantly changing, but it's good to know that the little black dress will always be in style.
