Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) could be easily created by adding a flower crown and a pink cape. Cinderella would require a pair of white gloves, a tiara, and glass slippers. The possibilities are endless!



3.  Hollywood Red Carpet Star

If your prom dress was made for the limelight, why not use it to become Hollywood's next big thing? You can turn your prom dress into a Hollywood Red Carpet star costume by adding some faux diamonds, a silver clutch, long gloves, and a white or silver feather boa. Don't forget to add some stilettos to complete the look.



4. Angel

If your prom dress was white or pastel-colored, then you can easily create an angel costume. All you need is some white wings, a halo, and some gold accessories. You can also add some gold glitter to your makeup and hair to give your angel costume a celestial vibe.





Re-using your prom dress as a Halloween costume is a great way to save money, be creative, and get the most for your buck.
