How to Dress Like Raggedy Ann for Halloween
















Raggedy Ann, a rag doll is a famous character loved by many young and old. It was first created as a doll then introduced to the public in book, Ragged Ann Stories followed by TV series. Here is a step-by-step and easy to follow if you want to be Raggedy Ann for Halloween this year.

Things You'll Need
Tights or knee-length socks with red and white stripes
Blue dress with long sleeves
A white pinafore apron
A white bloomer
Red mop like wig
Black shoes
White Mitten
Ribbon, colour of your choice, preferably blue or white.
Makeup

Step
1. Put on the blue dress with long sleeve. If you can get one with floral or red polka-dots prints will be an added bonus. If you don't have a long sleeve blue dress, here is an option. Add a long sleeve blue t-shirt under a blue sleeveless dress. Another option is to shop at your local thrift shop and find the right dress you want.

2. Put on red and white striped tights or knee-length socks.

3. Put on your bloomers. If you can't find one make do with something that resembles like one. Example white short can be substitute and you can sew white calico lace to have the effect. The bloomers need to be longer than the dress.

4. Put on the white apron over the dress. Be sure that the apron is slightly shorter than the dress.

5. Fix your hair to look like Raggedy Ann's. You can wear a red mob-like wig, purchase at a thrift store or make one yourself. Get a mop-head and dye it red then turn it into a wig. Alternatively, dye your hair red with temporary hair colour spray. If you have long hair, wash and curl your hair. Then put on a blue or white ribbon to complete the look.

6. Do your makeup. Add some freckles, wide red smile, open eyes with mascara. For makeup tips watch the video below.

7. Put on the black shoes. Any black shoes are just fine.

8.  Put on the white mittens.
