Dear readers,

I thought I would start a series of threads that breakdown Violet’s costumes, episode by episode for Murder house. Exacts are wonderful but are also awfully expensive, so I thought I’d also show how to replicate the styles on a budget using Shein. Enjoy. 

TIGGER WARNING: SELF HARM DEPICTION IN EPISODE

Take care of yourself, this post avoids any depictions of self harm in the episode but I will always t/w for anything in the episode.

Shein is a lot more affordable for many, and a necessity for some who couldn’t afford otherwise. This disclaimer is not to judge but to make sure that we are all conscious consumers. 

Onto the Pilot episode outfits...

━━━━༺❀༻━━━━

House viewing/ Chatting with Tate outfit

In this scene Violet wears a floral maxi dress, a burgundy long sleeve top, long mustard cardigan and a pair of black brogues. I can’t quite figure out if she is wearing sheer black tights or if thats due to lighting/ colour grading. 

Later on in the episode, we see the same outfit (minus the cardigan) but we can also see Violet accessories the outfit with some small gold hoops.

Here are my suggestions:

Solid Form Fitted Top (Burgundy)- GBP £5.99

First day of school/ Attic Rubber Man outfit

This is Violet’s most distinctive outfits from the season, rocking a orange/redish lace dress with a grey sweater underneath and her iconic pork pie hat. This is again styled with black brogues and a khaki crossbody school bag. 

Solid Guipure Lace Backless Dress (Orange)- GBP £10.49

https://www.shein.co.uk/Solid-Guipure-Lace-Backless-Dress-p-2825517-cat-1727.html

I chose this jumper, as it’s tight fitting and will fit under the dress but also because it can be styled with other looks later on.

Button Front Lace Trim Top (Grey)- GBP £6.80

Catching Mr Harmon & Moira/ The school fight outfit

In these scenes, she wears a khaki long sleeve top, a black dress with white spots and red flower details. At school, she then adds a blue and black check plaid shirt and accessorises with her small gold hoops, her khaki cross body bag and of course her pork pie hat. We get a better look at the hat in this scene which is a dark olive with purple bow detail.

Another iconic accessory of Violet’s wardrobe is her raccoon tail hat. Again it’s hard to make out the outfit in these scene, but she seems to pair with a burgundy suede jacket with leather details.

Yours,

Her favourite colour is orange, hence her cardigan and lace dress. It reminds her of sunsets and the smell of orange zest.

Her grandmother loved violet flowers, she’d plant them in the garden and pick them for Violet’s birthday. 

She loves warm baths, and likes adding salts in.

She likes to blind date books, picking them up randomly and then once read discarding them on benches or fountains for someone else to enjoy. 

Her favourite holiday is Christmas, not the commercial bullshit but just putting up the decorations with her parents. 

She always sleeps on her side, with one leg under the duvet and the other on top.

Violet secretly skips school occasionally to go see movies in the afternoon, when the theatre is quiet. 

Her favourite dinner is sausage casserole, the ultimate comfort dish from her childhood.
