Ladies Fancy Dress -  The origins of ladies fancy dress in the UK dates back to the 18th century. It wasn't until the Victorian era that ladies fancy dress in particular really took off. Queen Victoria was quite fond of costumes and her personal interest in British history and desire for authenticity resulted in the popularity of historical characters and historical themes for the fancy dress balls during much of the 19th century.

By the mid nineteenth century, fancy dress costumes parties were held for almost any occasion, both private and public - the opening of a new bridge, a civic holiday, or a private occasion.

We have something for everyone! Our incredible line of themed fancy dress costumes ideas cover more than 30 differing ladies fancy dress costumes categories including Nursery Rhyme Costumes, Ladies Sexy Fancy Dress, French Maid Fancy Dress, Ladies Pirate Fancy Dress and Ladies Superhero Costume. And this just scratches the surface of all the fancy dress costumes we have on offer.
