The famous Addams Family is one of the best costumes for groups, whether for Halloween, Carnival or any other fancy dress party. For younger or older girls, dressing up as Wednesday Addams or Merlina is ideal and also very easy to do. In this OneHowTo, here are some tips on how to make a Wednesday Addams costume, so you're identical to this sinister child.
Steps to follow:
The first thing you'll need to make a Wednesday or Wednesday Addams costume , also known as Merlina in Latin America, is a long-sleeved black dress. As this may not be easy to find, you can also opt for a long-sleeved shirt and black sweater and a skirt of the same color. Your shoes must also be black, it's best if you choose oxford-style black shoes, or at least smart shoes.
Sometimes, Wednesday also uses flowered long-sleeved dresses. If you have one you can also use it, but make sure the color of the dress is dark too.
For a truly authentic look, consider adding a black belt to accentuate the waistline. This small detail can make the ensemble more cohesive and polished, resembling the classic gothic style Wednesday is known for.
On the other hand, you'll also need a white pointed collar to overlay on top of your dress, as this is one of the most characteristic clothing items for the youngest member of the Addams Family. You can either wear a white shirt under your dress or simply make the collar yourself out of paper and stick it on top.
For a more refined touch, consider using fabric or felt to create the collar, as it will provide a more realistic and durable appearance compared to paper. Feel free to add a small black bowtie at the neck for an extra flair.
Her unmistakeably styled plaits are another of the elements that best characterize Wednesday Adams' costume . If you have long hair, do your parting straight down the middle of your hair and make a plait on each side of the head. If not, you can find a black wig with plaits or plait it yourself.
Additionally, using a bit of hair gel or spray can help maintain the sleekness of the plaits, ensuring they stay in place throughout your event. This technique can add a more polished look to your costume.
As for Wednesday Addams' makeup, it shouldn't be difficult as you only need to use a white base to make your face pale. Use dark eyeshadow to create false dark circles under your eyes, as Wednesday also looks as if she hasn't slept for a couple of days.
You can also paint your nails with red nail varnish to be more like her or, if you prefer, you can also do it with black varnish.
For an even more authentic appearance, consider using a matte setting powder to ensure your makeup stays in place. Applying a thin line of eyeliner can enhance the dark, mysterious look of Wednesday's character.
