How to Put Together a Velma Dinkley Costume for Halloween

1. Start with the basics.

* Orange turtleneck shirt.

* Red skirt. Velma's skirt should be about knee-length and pleated.

* White socks. Velma's socks should be knee-high and white.

* Black Mary Jane shoes.

* Fake glasses. Velma's glasses are black and have round lenses.

2. Add the accessories.

* Orange knee socks. Velma wears knee socks that match her skirt.

* Red bow. Tie a red bow in your hair.

* Orange and black sweater. Wear an orange and black sweater over your turtleneck shirt.

3. Finish off the look.

* Apply makeup. Velma's makeup is natural, but you can add a touch of eyeshadow and mascara if you like.

* Style your hair. Velma's hair is wavy and shoulder-length. You can style your hair in a similar way, or wear a wig.

* Carry a magnifying glass. Velma always has a magnifying glass with her. You can find one at a party supply store or online.

Here are some tips for putting together your Velma Dinkley costume:

* If you can't find the exact same color Orange and Black sweater as Velma's, look for a different pattern that has the red and orange color incorporated.

* Don't be afraid to mix and match different pieces to create your own unique Velma Dinkley costume.

* Have fun! Halloween is all about dressing up and having a good time.
