Top Tips for Fancy Dress Ideas
Are you trying to come up with some good fancy dress ideas? Perhaps you’ve been invited to a fancy dress party and need a costume, or perhaps you’d like to host a fancy dress party and need to think of a top theme? Many of the best themes and costumes are based on movies, cartoons and fairy tales, so you can let your imagination run wild.
Some extremely popular themes are based on Disney movies or cartoons, as there are just so many to choose from, dating back decades. Because of this there are absolutely loads of Disney costumes available to buy, for both adults and children.
Some popular Disney films and cartoons are Shrek, Buzz Lightyear, Peter Pan, Pocahontas, Robin Hood, and The Wizard of Oz, as well as loads more. Think of your favourite Disney character, either classic or recent, and you can probably get a costume for it.
Due to the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy pirate costumes are very popular. You can get pirate costumes for girls and boys in all sorts of different styles, as well as specific character costumes, such as Captain Jack Sparrow. Pirate costumes are quite easy to make yourself as well, all you need are a few accessories, like a sword or a pistol.
Another great fancy dress idea for a theme is the Moulin Rouge, which has become popular because of the movie starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. Moulin Rouge costumes can be sexy and fun to wear, and there are loads of gorgeous costumes already available to buy. Think of showgirls and the can-can, with lots of feathers and fishnets, and you’ll have an idea of a Moulin Rouge costume.
Other themes based on films include the all-time favourite, The Wizard of Oz, and there are lots of famous characters to base a costume on. The most obvious Wizard of Oz costume is of course Dorothy, but you can also get costumes for the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow, as well as the Wicked Witch of the West, Glinda the Good Witch, and the wizard himself. This is a superb theme as the costumes available are loads of fun and very recognisable to everyone.
Another favourite movie-based theme is Star Wars. You can get Star Wars costumes for pretty much every character from every movie, which means there is lots of choice to create a varied and fun costume party. From classic Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia costumes to more recent film characters such as the fabulous Darth Maul. Another extremely popular Star Wars costume for women is the white Padme Amidala outfit.
Another fantastic theme for top costumes is Super heroes, from films or the original comic books. This is a great theme for children and adults alike as again there are plenty of super hero costumes and everyone has their favourite. Some examples include Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Mr Incredible, Captain America, Iron Man, The Thing, Wonder Woman, Super Girl and Cat Woman.
There are so many fancy dress ideas based on films that the best thing to do is think of your favourite and create a costume based on that. If you choose a costume you love wearing you’ll have loads of fun.
