Anne of Green Gables Halloween costume

Anne of Green Gables Halloween costume

Set in the countryside of the late 19th century, Anne of Green Gables is a charming coming-of-age tale. This cute cottagecore aesthetic is a fun and comfortable costume to wear.


1. Find a dress

Dresses with gingham, floral, or plaid patterns are appropriate for this look. A baby doll dress would be the best.


If you don't like wearing dresses, you can definitely wear a skirt with a top, but try to aim for a vintage prairie style.

Applying makeup

2. Apply your makeup

The make-up for this look is very simple. Once you have applied some base, add mascara to make your eyes pop.

Applying makeup

Add some fake freckles with a freckle pen or brow pencil. A few on the nose and cheeks are all you need.

Applying makeup

Give your face a youthful glow by adding blush to your cheeks, nose, and forehead.

Styling hair

Start by brushing your hair and creating a middle part.
