going to be Morticia for halloween, NEED DRESS!

[ladyarcher726]

Hi all!  long time no see! 

I'm hunting ebay trying to find a dress like Morticia Addams; floor length or longer or a slight train... v-neck, long sleeves, bat wing sleeves or something similar.  The bagged store costumes suck!  they don't look a single thing like the dress she wore, and I want to really nail her look.  I've been looking at mermaid dresses for that slinky, clingy fit.  If you're curious, here are a few that I've found that are close:

this one has sold already

nice, this would work, wish it was v-neck, a little pricey

lovin' this one, but it's a small and those measurements... I need a medium

so I was wondering if any of you would have or know of where I can get a dress that would work?  I'm starting now cuz if I wait til two weeks before halloween I won't have enough time.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me!!!  hugs and glitter for everyone!!!

Goodwill has there halloween stuff out September 1st! I've found awesome stuff that way. For year round not just the holiday!

Good luck and awesome costume!

hey hun!  oh, I plan to hit goodwill hard if I ever get off of overtime!  Kevin has his costume already!  The Gomez bagged costumes look more like beetlejuice, they suck!  He found a suit that is a complete match to what Gomez wears in Family Values.  He has a pocket watch that is identical with that gold bar, and now he's looking for white wingtips and a bowtie, haha!  So far all I have is a wig that's falling apart (gotta love those cheap costume items!)

squeeeeee!  my husband is such a good online shopper!  he went a totally different route with his searches and I just clicked "order"!  It's called "nightmare black widow".  The belt has read on it but I won't wear the belt, and the so called wings are extra too... the dress itself is perfect!  woo hoo!!!

well since I solved my own problem so quickly... has anyone been Morticia for halloween, and would you like to share pics?  I'd love to see them!

Wonderful costume choice, Morticia is my idol! I like all the dresses you linked in the first post, they're beautiful, but none of them are perfectly her. I'm happy your hubby found one!

I feel like I'm a bit too fluffy to pull off Morticia (that mermaid skirt >.<), but I was Lily Munster for Halloween last year. :3 I just used the official costume from Rubie's - the dress was good as far as show accuracy, and quite pretty in its own right, but the wig was a nightmare (at least it was the right colors). I only have non-digital photos of it, though, I wonder where they are...

I was Morticia a couple years ago, and will probably wear my costume again this year :-D  I got my dress from Moonmaiden:  http://www.moonmaiden-gothic-clothing.co.uk/moonmaiden_gothic_2012/dresses/mmg51/mmg51.htm 

Their dresses are custom made to your measurements, and are great quality.

nice dress!  I got my makeup today and when I got home just quickly applied some eyeshadow and lipstick, put on the black wig and my husband just stared, smiled and said that I was going to really pull it off!  yay!  I am dying for my dress to arrive.  I'll definitely share pics!
