Sexy nurse costume in white vinyl

What is in the set

The Nurse Costume centers on a very short white vinyl mini dress with a front zip. It comes with a headpiece, a pair of thigh highs with bows and a matching thong, so it is ready to wear out of the box. There are no real medical symbols or insignia, which keeps it a costume rather than a uniform.

The vinyl warms to the body after a few minutes, so it feels stiff at first but moves more easily once you have it on. The zip runs down the front, which makes it quick to get in and out of.

Photographing white vinyl

White vinyl is bright and glossy, so it can blow out in photos. Under a ring light, set the light to a lower brightness and keep it to one side; the highlight then runs along the curves instead of washing out the front. In warm bedroom light, white vinyl looks creamy and soft. Avoid shooting next to a white wall, or the dress disappears into the background. A darker bedspread or a colored backdrop gives it edge.

Clean the lens of your phone first, since gloss shows every smudge.

Swapping the legwear

The included stockings have bows for the classic look. For a bolder version, switch to fishnet thigh highs ($16) in white or black. For a smoother look that stays up on its own, choose lace top thigh highs ($18). Stockings come in One Size and Queen, two widths that together cover XS to 3X, explained on our size guide.

White thigh highs keep the costume classic and bright. Black ones add contrast and suit a darker room or a hotel night. Whichever pair you choose, keep the headpiece on so the theme still reads at a glance.

Pairing ideas

The Angel Costume ($68) shares the white palette, so the two work as a couple or friends theme. Vinyl does not stretch much, so size up if you are between two sizes. Wipe the dress clean with a damp cloth and never wash or iron it. For more themes, see our sexy costumes collection.

For photos, the white dress with a red lip and simple hair gives the cleanest result.

Add a pair of heels in white or black to finish the outline.
