There are many ways to get your props together and compose an elegant/macabre Corpse Bride costume. Your options are many and varied. You might buy the entire ensemble as one package or you might buy the wig, make-up and dress (as separate components) at a garage sale, eBay, flea market or swap meet, a brick-n-mortar costume shop or an online costume store. If you start shopping now, you have the obvious luxury of availability, moderate prices (hopefully) and quality gear.
Your Tim Burton journey of strangeness can begin at 5:30 in the a.m. scavenging the tables of garage sales in your area on a crisp Saturday morning. Picture you, mowing down the elderly and disabled to get to the best pickings. Or, you are very composed and wait patiently in hopes that what is seek is present and can be had for the cost of a Red Bull and almond covered croissant, or so you wish.
Ebay Halloween Props
eBay
Upon entering keywords "bride," "corpse," and "costume," 76 hits manifested and WOW! You might have to pay for that costume if you go the eBay way. On the plus side, props and a variety of costume's are available if you shop now. And there is even a costume for your dog, should you have the need for your beloved animal to look more frightening for the holidays!
FLEA MARKET OR SWAP MEET
If Tejano on the blaring speakers and hungry dogs wandering around, looking for a place to die are more your style, then you might want to hit up the local flea market or swap meet. Who knows what you will find and at what price. The possibilities are endless or a dead end, if not a touch depressing. Perhaps, you have had better experiences with such thoroughfares?
BRICK-N-MORTAR COSTUME SHOPS
Once upon a time, there were big these really big and heavy books called, "Phone Books." If you remember what those are and know where to get one, you are free to look up, "Costume Shop," and see what your neighborhood holds. Surely, you would pay more for your outfit, but then again, convenience might make it all worthwhile.
ONLINE COSTUME STORES
Even more convenient than a neighborhood costume shop would be an online version. Here again, if convenience is what you seek, you might be very satisfied with such an endeavor! Simply Google the look of your Halloween dreams and wait for your package to show up on your doorstep.
