Zombie Bride verses Mistress Ghost

My BFF gave me a vintage dress a couple months ago and I'm DYING to try it on. I thought maybe Halloween would be the perfect occasion to wear it out. It's made up mostly of aged lace so I'm thinking I should go as a zombie bride or a mistress ghost... Here are some photos I found that I was inspired by:

Zombie Brides

I like her eyes. 

I like her lips.

I like her eye brows. 

Now this is the gal is the total package!! 

There was only one photo of a mistress ghost that I loved:





 
What I'll probably do is incorporate all the things I love most about the photos above and come out with my own look. I'm leaning more toward ghost only because I don't want to destroy the vintage gown with fake blood and the ghost costume will allow me to keep it clean. 
 
Which one is your favorite and why??

  1. The ghost is beautiful. You will look like one of the white ladies in celtic lore. I love the candles the ghost is carrying.

  2. I say the Ghost one is my fav. It's beautiful in a sad sorta way. I like the first Zombie one too. Maybe combine those two?

  3. The first and last one definitely. The others are so fake looking. These two are life like and classy. Like you! Hugs!

  4. It seems like Zombie Bride is more work. Mistress Ghost seems easier and creepier. It's the subtlety of that one that catches me and creeps me the heck out. The candle holder is a nice touch but would be a pain to carry around all night. Instead you could rock a chalice, that fits the motif and is utilitarian.

  5. The Mistress Ghost looks fantastic. I like zombies, but I'd rather be cold talking to a ghost than...umm...dinner.

  6. I love the first one best but love the lips on #2.

    I wandered over from Out of the Shadows and am now following!

    Cheers!

  9. You should have searched for 'corpse bride' a la Tim Burton ;-)

    Hot or not?

  10. I like the top one. It looks like she's wearing an vintage dress as well so I think it's a look that would work for you!

  11. I like the total package because that is what I would like to do to my ex...or Nancy Pelosi.

  12. I like the ghost and the one with no mascara or eyeliner. The sunken eyes and enough white to look dead, but you could spice it up with a tad bit of eye glam.

  13. Ghost! Be the Ghost!!!!
    Okay, Peanut usually knows what she wants to be months before Halloween...she has no clue this year. How am I supposed to get her costume ready if she doesn't know what she wants to be? Arghhhhhhh...store bought costume here we come.

  14. Moss - If I'm the ghost I'll have to see about taking the dress to a cleaner to determine if the white will come back. Do you know anything about aged lace??

    Laynee- I love the way you think! That's probably exactly what I will do!!

    Arlequin!! - I did!!! I did!! Ha!! You know me so well!! I almost included the picture in this post, but decided to leave it out at the last minute because i didn't think I could pull it off!!

    Barb - Aw shucks!! Thanks!! I like that idea too!!

    Pickleope - The chalice is a great idea!! I never would have thought of that! Thank you!!

    Joshua - So like a man to be thinking with his stomach!! LOL! Thanks for the giggle!!

    LuLu - Welcome!! I love Out of the Shadows!! I have connected with many cool people there!

    Belle - Yes, blood is SO over rated!! LOL!

    Princess - I agree! This one was one of my favorites and it works best with what I already have!!

    Coffey - This is not a place for violence!! Bahaha! Yeah right!!

    Suz - Ghost seems to be the popular vote! I hope I can get that dress back to its original white!!

    Stephanie - Aw!! Yep, take her to the store and let her pick something out. Or show her some pictures online and see which one she likes and go from there...

  15. I like the ghost at the bottom. Some black make up around the eyes would make for a creepier look, though, I think.
