Your “ugly witch” look can be enhanced by making it look ragged. If you want to dress up in a sexy witch costume, a fitted long black dress or a short one will suffice. Add some high heels, a witch hat and some fishnet tights and you are all set. and you’re good to go.

RED is the color here. For men, find a red suit for your sexy devil costume and top it off with plastic horns. Make sure your hair is oiled and slicked back. If you don’t have a red suit, try some red long john’s. Attach a home made pointed tail and you’r all ready.
