The best costume I ever
saw was a ghost bride on six-foot stilts. She appeared one evening at
an outdoor art event here in Portland on Halloween. A skilled stilt walker, she moved quickly in a
tattered white gown with 15-20-ft long tattered trails of frayed gauzy
fabric that flowed after her and blew in the wind. She took such long strides and was gone
so quickly that I couldn't get my iPhone out fast enough to take a picture of her.
I'll never forget the image of her gliding down the street. It was the coolest costume I have ever seen!
In the spirit of All Hallows Eve and the Day of the Dead, and in case you might want to costume yourself as a ghost bride this year, here is a collage of lovely ghost brides and also some orphan dolls that are adorable.
Most of these items are from Etsy shops. Click on the image to go to the Polyvore page to read the description of shop and image credits.
