How to make a ghost babe costume (no sewing)
DIY guide · 20 minutes · around $25 if you own the basics
The "ghost babe" look is one of the few costumes that gets better the less you fuss over it. Here is the exact order I use, plus the shopping list if you need to buy the pieces.

Pick the base
A white oversized top and light trousers. If you already own them, this part is free.
Break the white
One dark accent — a black belt, a chain, dark shoes — stops the look reading as a bedsheet. This is the step most people skip.
Add the details
Smudged grey makeup around the eyes, black nail polish, and a little powder in the hair. Matte finishes photograph better than gloss.
Finish in 5 minutes
Tease the hair, add the chain, and you are done. Total time: about 20 minutes.
