DIY Fortune Teller Gypsy Halloween Women’s Costume

Learn how to make a magical women’s fortune teller or gypsy costume perfect for a Halloween party or handing out candy!

Many moons ago, 2001 to be exact, I created an eBay account. The concept was genius: auction-style and “buy it now” listings for anything you could possibly want or need in your life. Even those hard-to-find items, like vintage decor, retro dresses, or one-of-a-kind collections. I was hooked! I even created a business that bought and sold for years (a proud Power Seller, in fact) before I entered the blogging world.

I’m still a loyal eBay customer, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to work with eBay to create a costume for this Halloween or costume party. This was a chance to get creative with one of my favorite shopping platforms, too!

Figuring out a Halloween costume was the hardest part because there are many possibilities, especially with eBay at your fingertips.

One thing that I kept in mind was purchasing pieces that I could also integrate into my everyday wardrobe. My style is already boho-inspired, so a fortune teller or gypsy made a whole lotta sense to me!

WHAT I PURCHASED

For each item I bought, I used the “Buy it Now” feature to get the items as soon as possible. I made a list of what I purchased for my costume* below. Also, you can totally shop your closet if you already own pieces that work!

*NOTE: since the following listings have expired, I linked current search pages.

To finish the look, I purchased these coin dangle earrings, which added more jingle and depth to my costume.

My top is simply a white lace bra that I already had in my closet. Other options include a peasant top, a cami, or a tank top.

For makeup, I used dark gray eyeshadow, dark red lipstick, and lots of dark eyeliner. For hair, I used a flat iron to create beach waves. Easy peasy!

Fun, right? And now I have fun jewelry and clothing pieces that I can wear every day, too.

Have a Happy Halloween! 👻
