Women Can Dress up for Purim, Too

16 Feb

You want to get into that Purim spirit, but you do not want to infringe on your modesty.  You think you are too old to dress up, yet you still feel that nagging desire to be part of the fun.   Here are some suggestions for woman and girls who want to add that subtle Purim festive touch to their outfit without being overly flamboyant:

Masks

Find the mask you like to slip on whenever you are in the mood!  Masks can really top off your costume.

Headpieces

There are so many types of hats, fascinators, and headbands that just add that little bit of animation.  There are feathers, bows, and even nets that go over the face, to reincarnate that glamorous look.  Be sure to choose one you are comfortable with, and that is elaborate enough for you.

Add Some Sparkle

…to your face with glittered or colored fake eyelashes.  At first, they may seem a little extreme off the shelf, but once you put them on, they are actually not as flashy:  they look quite glamorous!

Circle Your Skirt

There’s no need to take your hemline up, when on Purim you can take it down and even more fully around with a half-circle or full-circle skirt.  This has an amazingly festive look for ladies of any age because it is simply timeless – plus it is fun to wear!  This type of garment is certainly delightful and modest, and also lends a distinct refinement to a Purim outfit.  While a skimpy “costume” could turn a woman into a mere object of decoration, you will feel like you are floating with an air of feminine graciousness when you don a circle skirt.

Colorful Flat Shoes

While you have your hemline full and long, pair it up with flat shoes.  Colorful shoes will really complete the Purim look.
