I thought I was looking at a regular black witch costume. Then I saw the little lights all over the skirt, and suddenly my Halloween plans got considerably more dramatic.
Tipsy Elves has a women’s Light Up Witch Costume with twinkling LEDs, a long tulle train and a pointed hat. As of September 25, Tipsy Elves lists it at $149.95; the price has changed since this article first ran. The witch hat and belt are included.
The light-up skirt is the whole reason I stopped scrolling
In the brand’s product photos, the little lights look like golden sparks scattered across the black skirt. The long train adds even more drama behind it. You still get the familiar black-dress-and-witch-hat silhouette, but the lights give it something extra once the evening gets darker.
The official listing describes a twinkling LED dress, tulle train and statement belt. That makes it an option for someone who wants a recognizable costume with a standout detail, without having to build the entire look from separate pieces.
What comes with the witch costume?
The listing specifically includes the witch hat and belt with the dress. The fabric is listed as 100% polyester. Shoes shown in the styling photos are not listed among the included pieces, so plan your footwear separately.
The size selector runs from XS through XXL. Check the size guide and your selected size’s availability before ordering; those labels alone do not tell you how a one-piece costume will fit through the bust, waist and hips.
Read the care instructions before Halloween cleanup
This is not a dress to toss straight into the washer with the rest of the party laundry. Tipsy Elves says to remove the batteries before cleaning, spot-clean the dress with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and lay it flat to dry. The hat has separate hand-wash or dry-clean instructions.
September 25 update: Tipsy Elves sent me a costume sample, and it has arrived. This article does not yet include a try-on or a light test, so I can’t tell you from firsthand use how it fits, how bright it looks in person or how long the lights run. The long train is something I’d consider when choosing where to wear it: a party outfit and a night of walking around the neighborhood have different practical requirements.
If you want to take the glowy Halloween theme all the way to your fingertips, Olive & June’s glow-in-the-dark nails are another option we just found. Apparently my Halloween mood this year is “please add more lights.”
And if you want to see what happens when Halloween costumes stop being sexy and start giving off extremely specific energy, I found an entire collection of weird Halloween costumes that includes a frog, a car wash and an actual traffic cone.
