That time of year has come around again, time to dress up as who or what you want, and be horrifying, risqué or a mixture of the two. With loads of great Halloween events going on around Leeds this year, it’s time to start thinking about what to wear, and this year you’re in luck….
The gothic look has made a serious comeback this year, the high street has morphed into a dark pit of lace and PVC, so if your looking for the perfect balance between Mean Girls and Mortitia Adams, look no further.
Costumes can be expensive, with costumes from fancy dress shops coming in at about £20-30. So why not instead of spending your student loan on ready-made costume , craft yourself a scarily stylish outfit that you can wear again throughout the season.
