There are so many fancy-dress costumes and accessories for women on the market nowadays, so when choosing it is probably wise to have a vague idea of what you want. You'll be surprised at the diversity of the costumes that are available. There are highly creative historic Cleopatra outfits, film and TV character costumes and 'back to school' fancy dress and accessories.
Around the World & Historical Fancy Dress
If you are attending a fancy dress party that has an Egyptian or Hawaiian theme or you are just dressing up to go out with your friends, then 'around the world' costumes could be ideal for you. This type of fancy dress includes historical and modern day costumes that are easily recognizable as being from countries around the world. For example; 'French maid' outfits are authentically styled like old fashioned French maids, and 'Cleopatra outfits' are designed to reflect the attire of an Egyptian queen circa 69 B.C. Other worldwide costumes include things like; 'Hawaiian seashell print skirts', old fashioned 'Spanish dresses' and 'Helen of Troy' fancy dress costumes.
Some historical costumes that have proven popular are those which are themed around the 60's & 70's. Particular favorites for women are 60's flower power mini dresses and 70's disco style outfits.
Seasonal Halloween Costumes
A popular fancy-dress theme, particularly for Guy Fawkes Night, haunted house or monster & ghosts themed parties, are Halloween costumes. These can range from scary monster masks, ghost themed outfits and accessories such as witch noses and gory fake wound make-up kits.
Another fancy dress costume theme which is closely linked to both horror and Halloween is 'Heaven & Hell'. Costumes themed around 'Heaven & Hell' are popular as women like dressing up as either an angel with white wings or as a female devil, so they can poke people with their trident accessory. A particular favourite for women's hen nights, is just to add a pair of red glowing 'horny devil' horns to their usual going out clothes.
Film & TV Character Costumes
With the popularity of celebrities from film and TV, and the effect they have on what some women wear, how they style their hair and make up etc., celebrity themed costumes have increased dramatically in recent years.
Costumes such as 'Cat Woman' PVC suits and a 'Marilyn Monroe' style white dress are popular as well as pink 'Lady Penelope' outfits. There is even a fancy dress costume that is themed around the character 'Lara Croft', who originated from a computer game.
Accident & Emergency Related Outfits
A common theme for fancy-dress parties is doctors & nurses, law & order or other emergency services related outfits. Police or army uniforms are transformed into sexy and revealing versions for women's fancy dress costumes.
Fancy dress accessories which go with these costumes are such things as truncheons, hand-cuffs or stethoscopes. The other side of this theme of fancy-dress is of course costumes such as stripy convict outfits or patients with arms & legs in bandages.
Fancy Dress Hire
There is usually at least one fancy-dress hire shop in most towns, which have a varied range of outfits and accessories on sale or for hire.
