The titular character in The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell has been called everything from the “Tim Burton of Baking” to the “Martha Stewart of the Macabre.” I like to call her my style icon. Her vampy homicidal homemaker vibes are my current and forever mood.

Although Christine McConnell makes all her own clothing by hand, we mere mortals can achieve her vintage 1950s glam with the following pieces:

Portrait of Panache Midi Dress (ModCloth)

The Zest Is History Heel (ModCloth)

My Style Mews Socks (ModCloth)

White Ruffled Retro Half Apron (Etsy)

Just add a pink or red lip, finger waves, and a meticulously decorated dessert!
