Dani witch attire is a popular fashion trend that emerged from the alternative fashion scene. It is inspired by witchcraft and the mystical arts. The style incorporates dark, occult elements with a modern twist. The Dani witch attire typically consists of long flowing dresses or skirts in dark colors such as black, purple, or deep red. These garments often feature lace, velvet, or satin materials, giving them a romantic and gothic aesthetic. They may also include intricate details such as embroidery, corsets, or laced-up bodices.
But what would Dani (or any other witch for that matter) be without a black cat? Thankfully, Margot was ready to be the perfect little Binx the cat. Her costume was embarrassingly easy to put together in comparison to Stella’s, but that helped balance it out. I found a cat tail and ears at Target, some decals that looked like a cat’s nose and whiskers for her face, and used black clothes she already had in her closet.
It took a weird process and some experimenting, but I found a way to glue the pom-poms onto sections of the tulle and keep them in place until they dried.

Many practitioners of this fashion trend opt for statement jewelry pieces, such as moon or pentagram pendants, crystal necklaces, and oversized rings.
DIY: “Hocus Pocus” Dani Dennison Halloween costume
For the last several months, our daughter Stella had insisted that she was going to be Sarah Sanderson from “Hocus Pocus” for Halloween. I swear she started talking about it as early as last Halloween. We even talked about the possibility of me dressing up as Winifred and Margot as Mary.
But then she started talking about being excited to wear a witch’s hat, and I had to break it to her that the Sanderson sisters don’t wear hats. I suggested that she dress up as Thora Birch’s character, Dani Dennison, instead.
She could wear the witch’s hat and be nice and warm in all of the outfit layers. Plus, it was a DIY dream. She was sold, and thus began the adventure in costume-making.
What I love about Dani’s costume in “Hocus Pocus” is that it is very much a homemade-looking outfit, with lots of great fall colors. The main components I needed to recreate were her sun print tunic, orange-rimmed hat, layered skirt, and fringe scarf.
After looking online at photos of her outfit, I went all-out at craft stores. When I couldn’t find a comparable sun print fabric, I decided to buy an orange t-shirt and fabric paint for the top. I also bought yarn from the craft store for the scarf, and different ribbons and fringe trim for the skirt.
The scarf was the first thing I began working on, at the beginning of the month. I did the fringe about every other row, and then went back to add more to make it fuller. It took forever, but the result was worth it.
I also took the cheapie witch hat I bought at Target and added orange to the rim. At first I tried some orange duct tape, but it just didn’t want to stick to the hat. Thankfully, I already had some orange acrylic paint on hand, and that worked much better.
Next I went to work on Dani’s sun tunic. This was tough. I tried to find a lot of reference photos online, but oftentimes the scarf would be obstructing the design on the shirt or the photo quality wasn’t that great. I went as far as watching the movie and pausing at parts to see if I could get a general idea of where the suns were on the top. I probably didn’t need to be so obsessive about these details, but it is such a key part of the costume that I felt I needed to do it justice. I also needed to add black cord to create the lace-up part at the neck of her shirt, and cut the bottom of the top into points.
For the lace-up part of the neck, I cut off the top of the shirt and added a slit. Then I cut teeny holes into each side of the slit to lace the black cord through. I was worried about the cord tearing through the cuts in the shirt, so I improvised and added a little clear glue around each hole to sort of seal them.
Dani also wears a black scarf with little pom-poms around her witch’s hat. It’s a detail of her costume I hadn’t noticed or paid attention to much even after watching the movie a million times. I bought a roll of black tulle and a package of Halloween-colored pom-poms to recreate the look. It took a weird process and some experimenting, but I found a way to glue the pom-poms onto sections of the tulle and keep them in place until they dried.
For Dani’s skirt, I needed some outside help. Thankfully, my sister-in-law Morgan is talented at making costumes and sewing. Dani wears a black skirt with different ribbons and fringe around it. I found a black skirt at Once Upon a Child, a children’s consignment store nearby, as well as a black turtleneck for the costume. I bought the ribbons and fringe at JOANN Fabric, and Morgan went to work on adding them to the skirt.
These elements, along with some red lipstick, a plastic pumpkin bucket, and a lot of attitude, and you’ve got a Dani Dennison!

Because it was a mild weather day on Monday and we might be getting rain for Halloween, I dressed the girls up to take some photos under the beautiful fall trees in our yard. They look like a pretty darn cute pair if I do say so myself.
Stella is already thinking about next Halloween (she really is my daughter), but for now I’m happy to revel in how these little “Hocus Pocus” girls look this year.
They often adorn themselves with bracelets or cuffs and may carry velvet or leather bags with symbolic motifs. To complement the dress, Dani witches often style their hair in loose waves or braids and may add hair accessories such as flower crowns or headbands. Makeup in this style typically includes dark and smoky eye looks, bold lipstick in deep shades, and a pale complexion. Some may even experiment with elaborate face or body paint to add an extra touch of mysticism. Overall, the Dani witch attire is an expression of individuality and a celebration of the mystical. It combines elements of witchcraft, fantasy, and alternative fashion to create a unique style that resonates with many individuals seeking to embrace their inner magic..
Reviews for "Embrace the Dark Arts with Dani's Witch Clothing"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Dani witch attire. The material felt cheap and flimsy, and it didn't look anything like the picture advertised. The fit was also way off - it was too tight in some areas and too loose in others. Overall, it was just a poorly made costume and I don't recommend it.
2. Michael - 1 star
The Dani witch attire was a complete waste of money. The colors were dull and faded, and the stitching was coming apart as soon as I took it out of the package. It looked nothing like the elegant and magical costume I was hoping for. The sizing was completely off too - I ordered my usual size and it was way too small. I ended up having to return it and find a different costume elsewhere.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Dani witch attire, but it fell flat. The design was lackluster and the materials felt cheap. The costume didn't drape nicely and it just didn't give off the magical vibe I was going for. I wouldn't recommend this costume unless you're on a very tight budget and don't mind sacrificing quality. There are definitely better witch costume options out there.
