It’s not Halloween. It’s Carnival. Besides sparkles, sequins and colors, Wandinha’s costume has to be one of the most seen on the streets, blocks and dances in Brazil. Despite the gothic air and the closed look of the character played by Jenna Ortega in the Netflix series of the same name, she is an outfit that is easy to adapt even with the clothes you already have at home.
If you don’t have all the parts, buy one or the other. Otherwise you can also buy the one-piece swimsuit which, with a quick search on the internet, can be found for amounts ranging from R$ 100 to R$ 400. visual, even if not identical.
For example, a black T-shirt that you can attach a white turndown collar to, or a Peter Pan design that’s rounder. A simple black dress or black slip with white polka dots. Oxford shoes or moccasins. A short white shirt worn under clothing. To top it off, if you have long hair, buy a wig with two side braids.
#cadica1: Carnival falls in the middle of summer. Since Wandinha’s looks are closed-in, she tries to lighten up with fresher styles, such as sheer fabric dresses, short-sleeved shirts, cropped shirts, and wide-collar adaptations on dresses, like pictured above. Check the prices: Polka Dot Tank Dress (R$299.90, on Amaro); spaghetti strap dress (R$64.99, at Dafiti); simple black dress FiveBlu (R $ 44.99, from Dafiti); short white shirt (174.99, from Dafiti), separate collar (78.55 R$, from Mercado Livre).
#cadica2: To take the totally gothic air out of your production, introduce sparkles, such as sequins and sequins, into your clothes, and glitter into your makeup.
#ficaadica3: The total black dress that Wandinha wears to the school dance features transparencies and flounces. Another adaptation is to use a shorter, sleeveless model. And don’t forget the hair and makeup to get into the gothic carnival atmosphere.
#cadica4: You can also make adaptations with other looks, such as the striped cardigan, which can be replaced by a black and white striped top. In the photo above, top with wide stripes and fringes by Hering (R$84.99, at Dafiti); thin striped turtleneck top by Vekyo (R$ 36.90, at Dafiti).
#cadica5: When it comes to makeup, fitting in is even easier. The pale skin contrasts with the purple eyeliner and lipstick, another very dark or brown tone, as the character wears.
