42 Stepford Wifespirations
From Mad Men Fashions to Vintage Hairstyle Revivals:
Meghan Young — Oct 6, 2009 — Fashion
If you don’t know what you want to be for Halloween, it’s always easiest to work with what you have. Portraying a Stepford wife may be one of the easiest getups out there, at least for the ladies. Just put in those rollers, apply some traditional makeup, clad yourself in modest clothing and you’re almost there! The hardest part is letting the character in, but once the costumes on, it should come naturally. Take a look at this cluster and maybe you’ll decide to step up to the Stepford wife persona.
