About Ghostly Gal

Dressing up as Ghostly Gal

The Ghostly Gal is a very spooky character with a flowing white or gray dress. The costume can have an attached capelet and peplum detail with matching gauntlet gloves and floppy hat with veil. Or the costume can be more Victorian in style with the high neck white dress, flowing skirt, and long sleeves. In this second look you will also have a hat, but you can choose to go with a bare head as though you are walking around in your home without company. The shoes will need to match this ghost dress and you might consider pairing Ghostly Gal with Ghastly Ghoul for the optimum ghostly couples costume.
