OK, this is a li'l crafty but not hard. Just pick a time period before the 20th century.
1.) plain but elegant dress, solid color and or a shawl to go with it
2.) white clown makeup
3.) baby powder
4.) garland or wreath
5.) long wig (optional)

Instructions:
The white clown makeup is to white out the face and maybe some blue lipstick to make it look more deathly.

The baby powder is to be dusted or patted on the makeup to make sure it stays on...Just make sure to use soap when you wash it off!

A dark haired wig also pales out the face some. The longer the better because it will crown you face.

A garland/wreath is used as a finishing touch so it looks romantic or plain pretty.

Other information to consider:
If you are really into it, you can also add a murderess look to it in your own creative way.
