Best Fancy Dress Costume Ideas For Your Next Party

By Sally Stylles

It's that time of year again and your next big bash is just around the corner. In the past you've been somewhat oblivious to the themes, but this year you plan on going all out. It's going to be fun and we're going to help you pick out the best fancy dress costume for you.

Understanding the Event

What better excuse is there to dress up like Cleopatra or Mark Anthony or Tinkerbell when Halloween is still ages away? Hie off to a costume party and be the star of the night in fancy doodads from head to foot. Fancy dress costumes in all styles and vintage are available but it can become a chore choosing the right dress costume.

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:

Be Sure to Accessorize

When you're out at a party, don't be afraid to accessorize to your fullest potential. You don't just want to wear the outfit, but get creative with everything else. For instance, if you're headed to a Harry Potter theme, wouldn't you mark your head with the same symbol? Wouldn't you bring a wand, wear the glasses, and have the matching socks? All things to think about and get the best look possible.

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

It used to be that we could only find these things in our local area, which kind of downplayed our outfits a bit. However, today you can just hop on the Internet and find every little piece to making a magnificent puzzle. Fancy dress costumes and accessories are all over, so if you can't find it online, you won't be able to find it at all.

Heck you can even start up your next fancy dress costumes party on your own. Just call up all your friends and let them know the theme. If any of them are having problems finding the right place to go, direct them in the same location you found yours. Keep in mind you might have to tell them who you're going to be so they don't get the same thing.

Just remember all the props, table settings, and lighting effects and you'll be good to go. They're all mood setters and if you have them all at the same time, the event will be much more enjoyable. Hopefully the tips we've provided today will help you have a great party! Enjoy!
