About Mrs. Lovett

In the tale of Sweeney Todd, Mrs. Lovett was the widowed baker of "the worst pies in all of London" during England's Victorian period. While her dreadful meat pies were cold, Mrs. Lovett had the hots for Sweeney Todd, the "Demon Barber of Fleet Street," helping him dispose of the bodies of those he killed, and using their remains to bake into her meat pies -- which, ironically, became the toast of London with their new, secret ingredient! Mrs. Lovett has been portrayed on Broadway by the legendary Angela Lansbury and most recently on film with a delightfully sexy, yet goofy turn by Tim Burton's missus and muse, Helena Bonham Carter.

Dressing up as Mrs. Lovett

A great couple's costume along with your very own Sweeney Todd, {Mrs. Lovett} makes a great Halloween costume with an elegant yet creepy theme, with a bit of Victorian tart thrown in!

Wear a {Mrs. Lovett} costume with a fitted bodice with a plunging neckline, long belled sleeves, and a full-length blue skirt in the style of the day. Add an apron with smears of fake blood on it and top things off with a seductive Mrs Lovett wig in a chestnut brown with long, sausage curls -- how appropriate!

No matter what outfit you choose, make sure you have the Mrs Lovett accessory kit complete with bloody meat cleaver and a sliced pie chock full of delectable brains, eyeballs, and entrails! Yum!
