✨ I am beautiful! Boys will love me! ✨✨ I’ve been so jazzed to add the Sanderson Sisters to the 1920s line up to start off spooky season! I flip flopped between keeping her long hair or cutting it short but decided that she most definitely would have followed the true flapper lifestyle of the day. I wanted to incorporate a lot of her iconic silhouette and patterns while making it very 20s. Therefore, lots of drapery fabric to allude go her skirts and v shapes for the “corset”. And of course a flamboyant shawl. Also, yes she is wearing her lucky rat tail and also a locket with “B” for Billy. Winnie starts live on Wednesday! ✨✨ 🔮 🖤 #hocuspocus #spookybitch #spookyart #halloween #witchesofinstagram #sarahsanderson #sandersonsisters #salem #salemmassachusetts #witchaesthetic #vintagestyle #flapper #flapperstyle #disneystyle #disneygram #characterart #costumedesign #conceptart #digitalillustration #illo #roaring20s #disneyvillains #salemwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CE26Lzmjn-Q/?igshid=1k52jg47gpyf3
