Victorians enjoyed ghost adventures
Ghost hunting was all the rage for the Victorians in the nineteenth century. The Spiritualist movement began in 1848 and the public was riveted and stirred up by everything paranormal from ouija boards, seances, mediums, apparitions, poltergeist activities and spirit writing.
Spectres come in all sizes - From petite to voluptuous
The figure-flattering lacy tattered long gown for the lady has a tulle petticoat and comes complete with the wig, gloves, and wide-brim hat.
The gent's costume has a long coat, a vest with attached shirt sleeves, pants, dickie with scarf collar, hat, gloves and wig.
All of the costumes are made to look aged and worn. Just add the white makeup and boots to complete the ghostly appearance.
