Why is a countess dress designed to be so dark?

The countess is an aristocratic figure from centuries past, and in the world of costumes she is often given a somber, mysterious look: black instead of pastel, baroque motifs instead of flowers and a veil over the face. This places the costume somewhere between a classic princess dress and a vampire look. The silhouette with a wide skirt and bell sleeves refers to court fashion, while the colour scheme and the little veil give it the spooky edge that suits Halloween. Are you torn between this costume and a regular witch's dress? The countess dress uses fabric, print and length instead of a pointed hat, so choose this if your girl prefers to look chic rather than funny.

How to wear the dress on a Halloween evening

Put on the hoop petticoat first, as it gives the skirt its wide shape and keeps the hem off the floor during a parade or a trick-or-treating walk. Then put on the choker and place the hat with the veil diagonally on the head, so that the face remains half visible. Dark makeup with deep red lipstick completes the look, and a lantern or a small lace glove suits the atmosphere of an evening party.
