How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white dress or gown, ensuring a comfortable fit and smooth drape.
- 2
Tie the gold or silver sash around your waist, letting the ends hang down the side or front.
- 3
Slip your arms through the elastic straps of the feathered wings, adjusting them so they sit flat against your upper back.
- 4
Place the halo headband on your head, adjusting the wire so the halo hovers a few inches above your hair.
- 5
Put on your metallic sandals or white flats.
- 6
Apply optional shimmering makeup and style your hair in soft waves or a half-updo.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair soft and ethereal with loose waves, curls, or a half-up twist. For makeup, use a glowing highlighter on the cheekbones, a touch of silver or gold glitter eyeshadow, and a soft pink or nude lip gloss.

Women's Angel costume FAQ
- What do you wear under a white angel dress?
- Since white fabrics can be sheer, it is best to wear nude-colored undergarments, a slip, or white leggings underneath.
- How do you make a quick DIY angel costume?
- Wear a plain white dress or t-shirt from your closet, make a halo out of a wire hanger or pipe cleaners, and cut simple wings out of white poster board.
- Can this costume be adapted into a dark angel?
- Yes, swap the white dress, wings, and halo for all-black versions, and use dark, smoky makeup for a gothic fallen angel look.
