I made an 18th Century version of Sarah Sanderson from Hocus Pocus

Hello, lovelies!

This blog is going to be a compilation of all the content I made around my 18th Century Sarah Sanderson Costume. This was my Halloween costume for 2021 and while the final week of construction I had so many setbacks, I am pretty happy with the final results.

To start out, if you would like to support the content that I create head on over to Patreon to get exclusive content.

How I made the costume:

Photos:

I had major issues styling the wig for this so I switched out the wigs at the last minute and instead of using a blond wig I used a powdered white wig, it’s not perfect but it did the job.
