butlins fancy dress

We were delighted here at fancydressball.co.uk when Butlins recently contacted us to discuss our fancy dress story and featured a double page article supporting fancydressball.co.uk

Butlins were suprised to know that the founders of Fancy Dress Ball have been keen party go’ers to their popular Big Weekenders for over six years, visiting all the Butlins camps during this time. Each visit (usually four or five per year) of course would involve at least three fancy dress costumes for various themed weekend including 70′s, 80′s or disco to name a few.

So not only are we fancy dress addicts, we now run a successful business providing great fancy dress costumes online, the best of both worlds!

We have many Butlins Weekenders booked during 2009 and will be wearing some of the very best costumes available. A big thanks to Butlins for the support and we hope to see all the fancy dress fans there soon.

Darth Jackson

Darth Jackson may have stole the hearts of the UK public, but Simon Cowell doesent seem to think he has an ounce of talent! Darth Vader / Michael Jackson wannabe Phillip, a postal worker aged 37 finally revealed his face on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent. Wearing Darth Vader fancy dress, Darth Jackson strutted his stuff to Michael Jackson’s most famous hit – Thriller. He was joined on stage by an army of Storm Troopers.

It’s now down to the public to keep Dark Jackson in the competition although the odds are looking slim. Simon Cowell threatened to resign if he won tonight’s show, so we wish Darth Jackson the very best of luck.

Whether you’ve just been invited to a fancy dress party or deciding which costume to wear on a stag or hen party, the question often asked is “Should I hire or buy my fancy dress costume?”

Usually when hiring a fancy dress costume, it’s normally required to visit the fancy dress shop in person. One of the major draw backs with hiring a fancy dress costume is with limited choice especially when thousands of costumes are available these days. Not only is limited choice a factor, often the costumes come as “one size fits all”. Hire costs usually start at around £50 with an additional deposit required. It’s usual practice to sign an agreement to cover the full cost of the outfit incase of damage. Now everyone knows that it’s all too easy to spill a drink or attract cigarette burns, especially when costumes are often over sized or have capes, wings etc.

You may be suprised to know that to buy a fancy dress costume can be more cost effective than to hire. With the huge choice of fancy dress costumes and accessories available and the quality of many costumes being termed “hire quality” then why not simply choose the costume and sizing of your choice simply from the comfort of your PC. No need with the hassle of visiting shops, paying deposits and worrying about spilling the odd rum and coke!

Not only is buying a fancy dress costume a sensible option, you can wear it as many times as you like, sell or swap with your friends. With fancy dress being so popular these days, once you have the bug, you may just find yourself going to more fancy dress parties.

The team at Fancy Dress Ball are here to help. Our new online fancy dress shop opens in June 2009, with thousands of costumes and accessories to chose from. Struggling for an idea? then why not drop us a line and we are only too happy to help you decide. We are sure you will be amazed with the choice available, the quality and the price too.

See you VERY soon at fancydressball.co.uk
