Dress up as the Sanderson Sisters – the three witches from the 90s Disney movie, Hocus Pocus!

Dress up as Winifred “Winnie” Sanderson

Bette Midler’s Winifred has two key pieces that will make you stand out from run-of-the-mill witches:
1. Her red/orange hair curled up
2. Her buck tooth

There are no exact replicas for her dress, but I offer several options below that should achieve her look. Her actual costume consists of a corset dress, a robe, and then a cloak, but you can improvise

	Red Curled Wig I’m so happy to find a wig that resembles Winifred’s hair quite closely! Conveniently, the queen from Alice in Wonderland also sported a similar do.
	Fake Bucktooth For that funny touch, wear fake buckteeth! This one has a yellowish tinge on the photo, which should make you look even more gruesome.
	Renaissance Gown This is my favorite option because of the gold embroidered-like details. Plus this already has a hood so you won’t need to get a cloak anymore
	Green/Purple Dress If you notice, the Hocus Pocus witches wear corset dresses that resemble the Medieval / Renaissance Period. Winifred’s basic motif revolves around green and purple, so this is a good option.
	Green Cloak To add more “witchy” detail to your costume, get yourself a green cloak.
	Circle Waist Belt If you notice, Winifred has a nice intricate circle detail on her waist that keeps her robe together. This waist belt should be able to mimic that look.

Dress up as Mary Sanderson

Mary has:
1. a very distinct hairdo that resembles a pointy hat of sorts. So distinct in fact that a replica for it cannot be found! With a good deal of hair styling products and long hair, you can shape your hair into a witch hat just like hers!
2. a mole (or wart?) below her right nostril.

	Pointy Wig Mary has a very distinct looking hairdo like an inverted tornado and this wig does the trick!
	Red Peasant Dress Get yourself a flowy red dress with tied details on the chest. Get it a tad bigger because you will be wearing something underneath
	Orange Peasant Top Underneath the dress, wear a long-sleeved orange peasant blouse
	Red Cloak Wear a red cloak for extra detail

Dress up as Sarah Sanderson (Sarah Jessica Parker)

The youngest witch is also the prettiest one, and she is named after the actress herself, the famous Sarah Jessica Parker. I must confess it was extremely difficult finding her dress. And compared to the other two sisters, she does not have as many distinct pieces. She has a mole under the right portion of the lip.

	Long Blonde Wig The beautiful witch has long blonde wavy hair.
	Purple Cloak Sarah’s cloak is purple
	Renaissance Dress I honestly had the hardest time finding a dress perfect for Sarah Sanderson. I saw this purple one, which at least has some details that are reminiscent of Sarah’s outfit. Paired with the corset top, it should look the part enough
	Corset Top On top of the dress, you can wear a corset top for that extra touch. I couldn’t find the exact shade, but something understated such as this one would be a good fit (as a plus, you can reuse this corset top in the future for other costumes)
