I was putting together my post on Halloween costume ideas, and before I knew it I had “accidentally” purchased this dress. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to dress as Wednesday Addams for Halloween – she’s such a great character and really appeals to my dress sense.
Modcloth is one of those websites that I look at longingly every so often, unable to decide what to buy, so this was my first purchase from them. With the help of a measuring tape and reading the reviews that other people posted I decided on a size and crossed my fingers. I paid a little bit extra to make sure it was here in time for Halloween (shipping was US $33.19) and I’m happy to report that it arrived in just over a week, with plenty of time to spare.
The fabric is super soft and stretchy, so the dress is really comfortable. I think the only thing I don’t like is that it’s so short, I would have loved to have this just a few inches longer so the hemline was at my knee. I’m determined to make it work though, so I think I will wear it either with stockings or with ¾ leggings, depending on the weather.
I took these photos the other day (because Halloween falls on a Monday this year, and I have lots of work on), but you better believe that I am going to be wearing my Wednesday Addams outfit (with tights!) to the meetings I have scheduled for today! Go big or go home, right?
What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

How did I miss this, you look freaking adorable 😍😍😍
Aw thanks babe! Almost time to start thinking about Halloween again!
You look so good! I love a dress that can be worn for occasions (like Halloween) but that you can wear all year round. Though really, I will wear obvious Halloween themed clothing all year anyway. Modcloth have some really cute stuff!`
Thanks Natalie! I am totally fine with being spooky all year round too hehe
You are so bloody cute! <3 I love Wednesday and dressed up as her for Halloween once before. This year I stayed in watching the X Factor and Strictly but I really enjoyed seeing everyone's costumes on social media, especially the kiddos and pets. 🙂
Thanks Leah! Halloween night was a quiet one for me too because I had work commitments, but dressing up for the day was super fun! I loved seeing everyone’s costumes this year, especially the doggos hehe
you look great in that lovely dress…love your hair and the bucket is the finishing touch could have some sweets in it though. with regards to the dress length if you want it a bit longer could you take it to a tailor to have it altered ? looks fab as it is to be…wishing you a spooky halloween

I did think about getting it altered but unfortunately the hem isn’t long enough to just let it out and I wouldn’t want to use a different fabric to add extra length. Happy Halloween Tessa!
Awesome costume!! That looks so fun.
Thanks Chris!
