Every end of October, the mysterious and marvelous Morticia Adams is the belle every girl wants to be at the Halloween Ball. Her look isn't easy to cop though, but The Manila Times Lifestyle is here to help. More specifically, fashion designer Marianne Martin and owner of Nouvelle Haute Couture boutiques has got you covered with the following tips.

Decide on a look or theme. Once you've done this, expand on your design. If you want to dress up like Morticia, the scary matriarch of the macabre film, "The Addams Family," for instance, start by wearing a corset to achieve an hourglass figure. A push up bra will define your cleavage too. Then get a long-sleeved, form-fitting black dress or gown with bell sleeves and a trailing trumpet hem for that witchy flourish.
