How to Make a Witch of the East Costume on a Budget

By admin

The Witch of the East costume is a popular choice for Halloween and other costume events. This costume is based on the character from L. Frank Baum's famous novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." In the story, the Witch of the East is the ruler of the Munchkins and is crushed by Dorothy's house when it lands in the magical land of Oz. To recreate the Witch of the East costume, you will need a black dress or robe, as the witch is usually portrayed wearing black. The dress should be long and flowy, creating a dramatic and somewhat spooky look.


That’s OK. Our costumes come from various suppliers, so each costume can fit differently. You’ll see an image of a size chart corresponding to each costume, available in the product description section or the image gallery.

Please note, large orders, bulky items such as brooms, wall breakers and weapons, fragile items such as NECA action figures and orders during our peak periods of Book Week and Halloween may also take an extra day or two for delivery. au Unfortunately, we do not have a physical store for you to try on costumes or click to collect, but we do have a great returns policy if you re not totally happy.

It should be pointed and black, matching the overall theme of the costume. You can also add a broomstick as a prop, as witches are often associated with flying on broomsticks. To complete the Witch of the East look, you can use makeup to create a ghastly appearance. Pale skin, dark and hollow eyes, and deep red or purple lips can help bring the character to life. You can also add some fake blood or wounds to make it look like the witch has been crushed by a house. It's essential to remember that the Witch of the East costume is open to interpretation, and you can add your own creative touches to make it unique. Whether you want to be a traditional witch or put a modern spin on the character, the important thing is to have fun with it and enjoy the opportunity to dress up and transform into a magical being..

Reviews for "The Symbolism Behind the Witch of the East Costume"

- Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - The Witch of the East costume was a huge disappointment. The quality was cheap and it didn't fit properly. The dress was frayed at the seams and the hat looked like it was about to fall apart. The picture on the website made it look so much better than it actually was. I definitely would not recommend this costume to anyone looking for a good quality Halloween outfit.
- John - 1 out of 5 stars - I bought the Witch of the East costume for my daughter and it was a total waste of money. The materials used were terrible - itchy and uncomfortable. The sizing was completely off too, it was way too big in some areas and too small in others. The hat didn't stay on her head and kept sliding off. Overall, a very disappointing purchase.
- Emma - 2 out of 5 stars - The Witch of the East costume looked great in the picture, but it was completely different in person. The colors were dull and faded, not vibrant like in the photo. The fabric was cheap and felt scratchy against my skin. The sizing was also off, making it very uncomfortable to wear. I was really disappointed with this purchase and regretted not looking for other options.
- Mark - 1 out of 5 stars - The Witch of the East costume was the worst Halloween costume I have ever purchased. The fabric was so thin and see-through that I had to wear multiple layers underneath to make it decent. The sewing was also very poor quality, with loose threads hanging everywhere. The hat was flimsy and didn't hold its shape. It was a complete waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone.
