Lots Of Fun With Fancy Dress Costumes

By Sally Stylles

Fancy dress costume parties are in and don't be left out with the same predictable party togs. Let the creative kid in you out with fancy dress costumes. Dress up and wow them with your audacious style in the next fancy dress costume party.

Dress Up and Go

Listen, it doesn't have to be Halloween for you to want to play along with a party. There are several out there today that are geared for specific themes, which is obviously why you are here. Fancy dress costumes are as popular as ever, and if we can figure out what you need for this event, everyone will be talking about you throughout the evening.

Just keep in mind to figure out what the party theme is before you go. Obviously this will keep you from wearing the wrong fancy dress costumes, but it will also narrow down your selection, which is always helpful. Seriously, you don't want to end up at a Western styled theme in Criss-Cross clothes. You get the idea, but if you need a few more examples, here are a few of them below:

Accessorize to the Max

You also have to remember that the outfit doesn't always make the costume. A great example of this is Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. If your theme is this one, you wouldn't just wear the outfit and go as is would you? Come on, Jack Sparrow had dreadful dreads, eye make-up, a rugged and dirty look, as well as all kinds of jewelry. This is what sets you apart from everyone else.

Fancy dress costumes accessories from wigs, bags, shoes, jewelry, and face paint are available in various designs and make you look glamorous not plain. Savage, queen, pirate, doctor, or vampire, you can get the look you want to impress your friends and have fun acting out the role.

Feeling nostalgic? Don a mini and ape Twiggy's heavily-lined eyes and short hair for the 60s look or if you are Beatle fan, ease yourself into a suit and top your head with moptop wig but don't forget to bring that vintage guitar. For the 70s, a punk blond wig must match your disco outfit. The 80s? Grab those old Madonna photos and heat up the scene with legwarmers, heavy metal studs, sequins, boyfriend jackets and power shoulders.

Buy Online

You might want to look in your local area first, but we recommend purchasing them online. It's much easier to find what you want, and get the proper accessories online, then it is when you search locally. You have to remember that if you want the most spectacular outfit, then you're going to need all the accessories that go along with it.

When it's time to head out for your next big birthday party, call everyone and let them know the theme. Whether it's Greek Philosophers, the Roman Empire, Spartans, Cowboys, Teletubbies, SpongeBob Square pants, sports players, or anything else, make sure they play along. You can even help them find their fancy dress costumes if you want to, which we recommend.

Don't forget the props, table settings, and lighting effects. All these will set the mood and tone of your party. Have a great time at your fancy dress costumes party!
