This year, you can be the most attractive sister around in this naughty nun Halloween costume! The entire costume is very basic, but still manages to bear a unique style. The short costume dress is all black, with a high rising skirt adorned in narrow black ribbons on either side. The tails of these ribbons hang from playful bows, accentuating your natural leg shape!

The sleeves feature a wide cuff for a tapered look. The top of the Halloween costume habit features the traditional high cut white collar. A black veil finishes the look, complete with a broad white headband.

You may think Halloween is all about dark and brooding colors, the blackest black and the deepest blood red. Even the morbidly green. This year, add a hint of color to your holiday celebrations. No do not add a hint, instead add an entire palette!

The Cha cha cha Halloween costume is just the thing to breathe new life into an otherwise dark holiday. This outrageous look features an array of unbelievably bright colors that will make you stand out, way out, among the many ghosts, goblins and ghouls.

The costume dress features various hues in red, orange, and yellow. The gentle ruffle and exotic skirt style add a playful touch to the overall look. A width of black and white accents the topmost layer of the skirt, running up to the minty green belt and large silk bow. The bust line is low cut for a slightly sexy Halloween costume appeal. Black and white sleeve cuffs and a pair of dangling cherries accentuate the low cut top. Forget about wrestling with Halloween hair wigs; just pull your locks up underneath the bright yellow cha chat hat, adorned with juicy looking fruit and a tall, orange ruffle. Find your brightest costume makeup and you are ready to party!

This costume is made from higher quality materials and could be considered rental quality. Each costume is packaged and shipped to you in a handy folded, reusable garmet bag for easy storage.
