Lily Munster Costume
The Munsters – Lily Munster
No mother from 1960s television is as haunting as Lily Munster, the strong and slender matriarch of The Munster family. Who wouldn’t want to be this comedic equivalent of Frankenstein’s bride? She’s got all the gothic beauty you could ask for, plus a comedic sensibility that leads to wonderful, wacky Halloween fun. When else do you get an excuse to dress up as such iconic characters for a night?
Lily is always beguiling in her simple yet elegant Gothic attire. A Lily munster costume is the perfect way to embrace the spirit of Halloween while still looking good. The Munsters officially licensed Lilly costume features a velvet ankle length gown in a light pink hue, with Transylvania-black lace and trim. The arms offer slight contrast with long, sheer sleeves, adding a small touch of Victorian glamor.
Finally, it’s Lily’s hair that makes her so unmistakable. This official costume includes a long black wig with Lily’s trademark white streak, evoking the Bride of Frankenstein, but with comedic twist. Lily hates to go to parties alone, so consider making it a date with Herman Munster. Lilly and Herman are great costumes for couples, clearing marking the two of you as a pair. The Munster family can also make fun for the whole family by adding Eddie and Grandpa into the mix.
The official Lily Munster standard size costume comes with everything you need to pull this outfit off, but you can still accessorize for added fun. Consider adding black pump shoes to compliment your dress, extend your eyelashes with a glamorous eyelashes case, and a bat clutch. While the original Lily sported the famous Munster-green skin, later versions of this character used a very pale white powder, so either shade is accurate and acceptable.

Lily can be wholesome or sultry depending on how you spin her. While the daughter of Grandpa (Sam Dracula) is technically a vampire, Lily doesn’t typically demonstrate any of these characteristics. In contrast, she’s the glue that holds the family together and often serves as the voice of reason, resolving whatever mischief the rest of the family might cause.
Lily isn’t just a typical housewife, however, as her household duties are opposite the norm. Her vacuum works in reverse, spreading dirt and grime around their house and making sure that everything is perfectly trashed and maggot infested—just disgusting enough for a monster to feel comfortable.
The Munsters Costumes and Halloween go hand in hand. There’s no better way to partake in this haunted, family holiday than with these goofy, spooky characters. Everyone in the family can play a role, keeping this Halloween night a family affair. A particularly fun costume for household moms, Lily and her gang of Munsters are just the kind of fun, wacky characters you want to get lost in for a night. Make sure your camera is ready, because this is a costume you’re going to want to remember.
