Day of the Dead Costumes, Accessories and Party Supplies

What is Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)

Although we dress in Day of the Dead costumes on Halloween, the two annual events are greatly different in both traditional celebrations and tones. Celebrated over two days, November 1st and 2nd, the Day of the Dead celebrates both life and death with an explosion of colours and joy. During this time families get together and celebrate loved ones who have passed and present offerings of drinks and delicious treats on alters as they make their journey home. In the towns and cities throughout Mexico and Latin America, there are extravagant parades and parties with mountains of locals dressed head to toe in vibrant costumes and faces painted in the well-known calavera (skull) makeup. Not sure what to dress yourself as for a Day of the Dead costume? Well it’s all about flowers, painting your face like a skull and bright eye-catching colours. So, check out the Day of the Dead costumes and accessories and find everything you’ll need. We have vibrant costumes for all ages, floral headpieces for the ladies, decorative skull masks, a large selection of makeup for those who want to show off their artistry and paint their faces and Day of the Dead theme accessories to finish off your costumes.

Dance the night away as La Calavera Catrina

Dress yourself in head to toe as an icon symbol of the Day of the Dead traditions, La Calavera Catrina (‘Dapper Skeleton’ or ‘Elegant Skull’), with our wide range of costumes for the ladies at CostumeBox. La Calavera Catrina made her first appearance in the early 20th Century as an etching by a famous cartoonist José Guadalupe Posada, which depicts the icon female skeleton dressed in an extravagant floral hat, which originally was a mocking of indigenous Mexicans who had begun to imitate European styles and step away from their Mexican heritage. She is now a symbol of Dia de los Muertos and you’ll find her on an array of decorative forms: from costumes, fashion, food to art. Get inspired by the etching that started it all with costumes and accessories you’ll find at CostumeBox. Grab some face paint and a selection of glitter and get creative as you paint your face as the icon sugar skull. Take a browse at our Day of the Dead sugar skull costume and accessories selection and take your pick at the diverse variety of costumes from colourful to traditional, to veils and headpieces. With our range of sizes and styles, from girls to adult plus sizes, there’s something for all senoritas!
