What are you dressing up for at Halloween?

Aoife9

I am looking for inspiration I am going out as a group of 5 over 30 ladies to a party and we can't agree what to dress up as,someone wants to do 'old spice girls' someone else wants to do Alice in wonderland with the rabbit, Alice, queen of hearts etc... so if anyone has any ideas for me I'd really appreciate it and tell me what you are going as:)

i was at a fancy dress party last week and i went as a stepford house wife, it was pretty easy and fun!u could all go as super heroes!its funny and you'd have a laugh. u could also go as the wizard of oz... dorothy, glenda the good witch, the wicked with, a lion ,tinman etc, that could look cool!hope that helps!

Yeah I was going to suggest the Wizard of Oz... I've seen it done and it can look pretty good. Just have to let people squabble over the good costumes!

Dress up as hookers. It's funny plus you'll get alot of male attention!:)

Just re-read the thread title and it should read 'what are you dressing up as for halloween'

Thanks for your suggestions especially the hooker one I had a good laugh at that one!! We'd look a sight all mums 30+ LOL but I suppose that is the idea and it would look very funny but we will probably leave it to the young uns;)

The wiz of oz is a great one but sadly has been done and won the actual fancy dress comp a couple of years ago. But I think the super heroes sound great I have a feeling there will be killings over who is going to be wonder woman! and sure someone could do catwoman, batwoman.is there a batwoman? mrs incredible would be good the possibilities are endless! Thanks again:)

I did a priest last year, which was lazy enough to begin with so I probably won't do that again.

Robin Hood might be on the cards.

There is no batwoman but there is a batgirl.

Another possibility is what i dressed up as at last years halloween party at work.
I dressed up as a carribean wrench (fenale pirate).
I hired out the outfit from a fancy dress shop consisting of red dress bandana and eye patch.

Black Swan

Five fingers?

Personally think that although quite unoriginal... spice girls is quiet time appropriate considering there world tour is on soon.. you could get some great outfits for that!!

Piste

I'd love to be Alice in Wonderland, but wouldn't a dress be impossible to find? the closest I can think would be one of the tiny dresses from miss fantasia's but they're very short and also probably terribly expensive =/

Blondie86Star

Piste

Be a witch! And make your face all hideous with facepaint and stuff

Joke shop, head up Grafton Street, take a right just before St Stephens Green Shopping Centre. Has lots of sh|te.

Am I the only one who misses the days when you couldnt just buy costumes? I remember spending weeks making mine and assembling various accessories etc. Now it just seems like everyone justs goes and buys a prepackage one.

Also, isn't halloween the time for scary costumes? Like not bunnies, faeries, .....

Maybe all the scary ones have been done and don't seem original enough anymore.

Piste

Yeah I couldn't justify splashing out on a costume, I don't like being the same thing for Halloween two years running but it'd seem so wasteful if I didn't wear it!

LadyMayBelle

I'm going as wenda from Where's Wally...his ex-girlfriend's sister (I never knew Wally had such a history!!) it's easy and effective, esp if you wear glasses...and if there ar a few of you going, dress as Wally, Wenda, Wilma, the dog, the Wizard and the bad guy (yellow and black) Nerds ahoy!!

electric69

A giant penis!

dubdcugirly

Im tiny...in height like so im hoping to go as elf/pixie...can anyone tell me wer I cud get a hat...even if anyone has seen a robin hood outfit??..I cud use bits of it?? Dublin stores only thou...1.40 bus fare only gets you so far haha

Peyton Manning

Ok I need help. I want to dress as something thats not scary but funny, but not funny in a crude way, i.e. the giant penis.

Something along the lines of the dogs or squirrels in trigger happy tv - i find them hilarious. Imagine seeing a squirrel just sitting down in the pub having a pint not making a big deal. That'd be great. Any ideas? Or where I could get a decent costume that wont cost me a fortune? (Maybe a 60-70 euro limit)...
