Hocus Pocus Costume

My son, daughter, best friend and I are dressed as characters from the movie Hocus Pocus. I found many of the basic pieces from second hand stores. I am dressed as Winnie Sanderson (with the red wig). I found a light green prom dress, slit the front, added grommets and inserted purple fabric into the front to give a layered look. I made the green overdress from scratch and hand painted the gold symbols. My friend, Sara, and I made the spell book from the movie with paper mache. Sara is dressed as Mary Sanderson with the distinctive purple/blue wig I shaped using part of a wire hanger and lots of Aqua Net. Her main skirt was sewn from a red flannel sheet with extra layers of fabric over it. Her bodice was created by cutting the arms off a jacket, reshaping it, and adding grommets. I made her cape from a red tablecloth (lots of second hand material!). My daughter, Ashley, is Sarah Sanderson. I was able to find almost all of her costume from second hand stores. My son, Patrick's costume was purchased but I sprayed black fabric paint over it to dye it down a little. I trimmed a Rock Star wig into the right shape. He is playing the zombie Billy.
