    The costume is then finished off with some classic witch accessories. This almost always means a tall, pointed black witches hat and a broomstick. You may also choose to wear a long black or purple wig to help get yourself into character.

    Subtle accessories useful for plus size figures include long gothic necklaces. These help to draw the attention down the body, creating a slimming effect. Long bell sleeves also help to add to this look.
