I made a Morticia Addams costume for Halloween, but she's a Gibson Girl! I love the Addams Family, and Morticia's iconic look translates perfectly to a historical Edwardian skirt. Since I already owned a goth Edwardian Gibson Girl blouse, this easy Edwardian skirt was all I needed to make my Morticia Addams Halloween costume complete!
Sewing this easy Edwardian trumpet skirt was one of the simplest projects I've done in a while! Gibson girl fashion involved an S-shaped silhouette with skirts that draped and clung around the hips, which reminded me of Morticia Addams' clingy black dresses. Last year I'd already made a black gothic Gibson Girl blouse, so a gothic Edwardian skirt seemed like an obvious follow-up. Every piece of this DIY Morticia Addams cosplay is also something I can wear for daily historybounding outfits, or for other Edwardian or Victorian gothic fashion! I hope you enjoy this little Edwardian skirt tutorial and have a happy Halloween 🦇
