5 Easy Halloween Costumes You Can Make From An Old Bridesmaid Dress

Turn something old into something new.

Even if you love a bridesmaid dress, it's highly likely you won't get many occasions to wear it again.

So why not give it a new life as part of your Halloween costume! Here are a few ways to make it happen...

1. Regina George in Mean Girls

The perfect use of a pink strapless dress! (This one is from Donna Morgan.) Paint a wooden embroidery hoop and wooden dowels black, cover with fake flowers, and tuck into a stretchy belt.

2. A Butterfly

Your formalwear emerges from its cocoon (aka the back of your closet) and is transformed with the help of inexpensive wings!

3. A Unicorn

Get the headpiece and tail on Amazon and you're all set! Bonus: this works with basically any color dress.

4. Toothpaste on a Toothbrush

The toothpaste stripes are made out of felt and the toothbrush is made from foam core and drinking straws.

5. Miss Demeanor and Miss Behavior
