Fancy Dress Ideas
May 20th, 2008 by George Mole
Costume ideas need the greatest input you have - your ideas. You don’t have to buy or hire a costume unless you want to. You can make a costume instead with your innovative and unique ideas. The first step will be obviously to know about the situation. You cannot have a jazzy, glittery costume on a formal dinner. On the other hand, a stiff-collared formal dress will ruin the mood of a hip-hop party.
If you are going to a custom party or ball you can let your imagination run wild and have fun with your costume idea. You can go as Pinocchio and have a cardboard pencil nose tied with a skin or white coloured elastic band. If you are a heavier built person you can pain yourself blue and go as Genie from Aladdin. However, if you are going to a ball that needs periodic style costumes you can choose your favourite person in history and dress as them.
Be imaginative, innovative, and creative with your fancy dress costume. You can even go rummaging through your closet and find the perfect combination of your clothing to have a great costume. You can post a really funny message on an ordinary T-shirt for events like baseball games. You can also portray a klutzy look by wearing clothes that do not match or two different coloured socks.
Have you ever tried playing fun with your kid’s watercolour tubes? Dress them up in a casual shirt and shorts. Draw a big moustache, put a hat, a holster, and see how deeply your kids love their new looks. It is not always the funny bone that has to be tickled with your costume ideas. In fact, costumes can make greater impact on your viewers if you plan to make them aware of certain issues.
If you want kids and adults to learn more on genetically modified foods, dress the little ones like a tomato and tell them what are the pros and cons of the foods. The kids and grown ups would love to remember the information rather than going through a boring textbook.
Costume ideas can be a true representation of you and your personality. If you are a huge fan of the 1970s then make up a costume that will reflect that era of Glam Rock and Disco. If you have a wild and wacky personality then choose something that will reflect that. You can plan costumes for virtually any occasion. Make an impression and design your own unique costume rather than resorting to expensive ready made ones.
