Fancy Dress Costume Ideas

chocaholic101 · 2009-08-23 21:20:13

I know Halloween is not for another two months but thought i'd start planning early this year! Any ideas for fancy dress costumes that are cheap and easy to make or buy but effective all the same. Not mad on the usual costumes for girls like french maids/playboy bunnies etc etc Thanks

Hey chocaholic101,

Any idea's about what you wanna be? I work at The Costume Shop so we've litterly thousands of idea's.

If your talented enough to do a DIY costume we have loads of video tutorials of how to Make your own costume and idea's of what to make.

Generally you can get a costume for 16.99 up but the good ones (like the one below) start from 29.99. Then the deluxe ones are about 59.99 and up.

Pirate Costume 29.99

If you have any particular idea's that aren't available on our site we have a board here where you can post and we'll order it in for you.

That's a fantastic idea! Don't forget the big-ass hair/bow thingy on top of her head.

To complete the gaga look you'll need plenty of tape to tuck the bits away..........allegedly.......
