Dark temptress, mistress of the night, lady of the shadows -- what images do these phrases conjure?  Undoubtedly at least one of them would have evoked a certain character that we all know: the female vampire.  The vampire is always a good choice for a costume, and perhaps more so for the ladies.  Girls vampire costumes lean towards the dresses, gowns, and skirts, clothes that are instantly identifiable as clothing for females.  With that said, what makes a vampire costume for girls so special and appealing?

Though most of us are familiar with the old-fashioned, ballroom-style look for vampires, there are also more modern vampiric costumes.  This does make sense in a way, since vampires supposedly live for a long time and would thus be able to adapt different styles of clothing.  Just for the sake of discussion, we divide vampire costumes into two categories: the Victorian, and the modern.

Victorian style vampire costumes are centered on gowns and long dresses.  These clothes are long enough to even cover the feet.  High, wide collars, puffy shoulders, and long sleeves make the look.  Ornate pieces of jewelry in gold or silver, or more pragmatically costume jewelry made to look as such, are not essential parts of the costume. Remember vampires hate silver!  The hair should be piled high, such as a bouffant or other similar hairdo.  This tower of hair can also be used as a canvas for various accoutrements such as glitter or vampire-themed hairpins.  The facial makeup should be very pale, with lined eyebrows, curled eyelashes, and bluish highlights.  The lips must be red, and the redder they are the better.  Just remember that the points of focus are the lips, eyes, and eyebrows, in that order.

The modern females vampire costume is more difficult to define.  For example, she could be a vampire wearing contemporary gowns, a goth-looking chick, or dress like a male vampire.  Each has its characteristic styles, but the common factor remains the same: mystery and danger.  For dresses and tops, lower cuts are more prominent in the modern vampire mythos.  Skirts can be short like miniskirts to below knee length, but rarely ankle length or longer.  Hair can be any style one wishes it to be, reflecting the freedom of choice and many options today.  The androgynous vampire may go with a long coat and skinny jeans, while the goth-chic vampire can go with belts, buckles, and leather accessories.  Makeup stays mostly the same, pale with red lips and dull highlights.  The goth-styled vampiress can go for a little more eye shadow.  A modern females vampire costume certainly offers many more variations than the Victorian form.
