How to sew a witch dress for Halloween

The witch dress is the classic of classics among the outfits that roam Halloween. After all, the witch is the ultimate fairy tale antagonist, the villain par excellence. You can choose whether to make a classic witch outfit, the usual bodice, long skirt and pointy hat or you could be inspired by Disney's signature villains, such as the witch Grimilde or Maleficent, in name and in fact, who terrorized the life of poor Princess Aurora, in The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods.

But, still you could also be inspired by other Disney or Pixar villains, such as the cynical and ironic Izma antagonist in the animated film The Emperor's Follies or Ursula who needs no introduction, because who doesn't know the sea witch from The Little Mermaid?

Whatever your favorite witch is, first you need the right fabric to sew your dress.

In general, you will need:

• fabric
• needle
• wire
• chalk
• sewing machine

For the fabric, we recommend a stretchy fabric that fits all kinds of body shapes. If you want to make a classic witch dress, needless to say, the most popular colors are black and purple, the antithesis of cheerfulness, in short!

Don't forget to take proper measurements and mark everything with chalk!

With needle and thread sew the sleeves and bodice ties.

Helped by a semi professional sewing machine, our advice is to use a computerized one that already has everything set up. If you sew as a hobby, you can find many models of home sewing machines designed specifically for people who sew as a hobby.

We don't want to go too long, so we will show you how to make the evil Maleficent's dress.

Needed:

• black cloth
• purple fabric
• needle and thread
• sewing machine

You will need the black fabric both to make the long dress and also the witch's cloak. The purple fabric for the cloak inserts.

Let's come to our beloved pattern paper, yes because at the end of the day all you will have to do is sew a long black dress. The pattern paper can help you in such cases. Find a pattern paper that shows instructions on how to sew long dresses and proceed.

Draw your dress with chalk, take measurements and cut out the pattern. With needle and thread sew the front and back.

With the sewing machine, redefine all the stitches of the dress and sew the sleeves. For the cape, put the remaining black fabric together with the purple fabric and with the help of the sewing machine, join the two parts without forgetting that the purple part goes inside.

Don't forget Maleficent's scary headdress, how to make it?

Perhaps with black cardboard, make the shape, help yourself with vinyl glue to secure it and a polish lacquer for a more mysterious effect.
