While seeking a little costume inspiration for something to wear to Mad Monster Party this week, I came across a fabulous DIY raven tutorial from A Glamour Affair and knew I needed to add it to our tutorial collection here on TYoH!  Dark and elegant, this costume is sophistication with an untamed edge, capturing the opulently sombre essence of that most infamous avian. Visit A Glamour Affair for complete step-by-step tutorials for the makeup, hair, and fantastic feathered caplet for this look!

In there stepped a stately Raven
of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he;
not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady,
perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas
just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
