xfactor Cheryl Cole 0

Well the jury may be out on Cheryl Cole’s vocal performance but she definitely pulled of the costume strutting around that stage with her army of Russian soldier back-up dancers.  Her costume was a quasi Russian officer come lion tamer in my opinion and I know lots of males and females out there loved her look.

Fancy rocking the Cheryl look at your next event or has her costume inspired you and your friends to get into a Circus theme perhaps, much like the most recent Take That tour?  Take a look at the costumes above - they are not a match for Cheryl but they start you off in the right direction.  With these costumes and a little bit of your personal additions and some accessories I am sure you could nail the look!  If you want some more help tracking down any unusual items of fancy dress costumes or want to replicate Cheryl’s look then get in contact with us here at fancydressball.co.uk and we will do our best to sort you out.

Bumblebee fancy dress 0

Posted on October 18, 2009 by admin

Oh I’d like to be a busy busy bee to be as busy as a bee can be!  Well perhaps not me in this fancy dress costume – the nation is not ready for that!  This bumblebee costume is a top choice amongst female fancy dress costumes.  The trick here is that the designers have come up with something which is both a fun fancy dress costume and sexy fancy dress costume together.  Wear it without the tights and you will be sure to set pulses racing even more.  The bumblebee below let the costume get to her head and actually thought she could fly off to the nearest flower and collect pollen for her hive but don’t worry fancydressball.co.uk gave out her medication and she slowly came back down to earth (despite the fact she didn’t really take off!).

If you like this costume then be sure to check out bumblebees best friends Daisy bug costume and Butterfly costume.  Why not have an insect theme to your next event – a couple in bumblebee costumes, a few daisy bug costumes and a few butterfly costumes - just hope you don’t bump into any entomologists or you could end up snared in their large net!  For even more laughs why not get someone to continue the theme by dressing up in a cockroach costume  (soon to be available at fdb) and be sure to get some laughs! Whatever your next fancy dress costume choice be sure to take lots of pics to remember your night out – maybe even send some photographs to fancydressball.co.uk for us to share with the fancy dress nation.

If your off to a big event and your going as a group then it can be a good idea of linking your costumes together with a theme.  There are many popular themes but every now and again we see people who have thought differently and put together a theme that really hits the mark.  This group of girls created an air stewardess theme – so it’s last call for boarding for the Fancy Dress Flight to Butlins Skegness!

What would have been an good addition to this party of sassy hostess girls would have been a fancy dress sexy pilot to make sure they got safely to their intended destination.  Making a good theme successful comes down to the level of detail you put into your costumes and ensuring that you pay special attention your costume accessories.  This group of girls had to be one of the most photographed groups during this event which is a reflection on the quality of their fancy dress costumes and the effort that was put into them.  At one point I thought that they may need a special police escort to navigate their way through the venue – anything to avoid the paparazzi!  Have they inspired you to think of a theme for your next event? Perhaps you wanna replicate the theme – costumes available from fancydressball.co.uk along with other great ideas.  If you need a theme just get in contact and tell us more detail about your event and how many people are going and we will give you some suggestions.  We always look forward to hearing from you and hearing about your past events and fancy dress experiences at fancydressball.co.uk or maybe come and visit us on our facebook page either way we look forward to it.

School Girl Fancy Dress 0

This is a classic look that when done like the photo is always a crowd pleaser.  Also, schoolgirl fancy dress costumes are an easy and low cost option which is important when there is a large group of your friends attending an event together.  Prepare yourself by rumaging round in your wardrobe and picking out that old school tie that you keep for sentimental value and fish out the a little mini skirt while your at it – I’m sure you all have one somewhere for those special occasions! But if you can’t find the basics then have a look at our selection of choices at fancydressball.co.uk where you’ll find something that suits you.

These two naughty looking girls must have done something good because they have earned themselves a lollipop – maybe they are the teachers pets?  One of them has even earned a badge !  What a good girl I bet she gets gold stars on her homework too !

A must to compliment this costume is a pair of knee high socks or some thigh high hold-ups.  It all comes done to how much attention you want to receive.  For maximum affect why not go for some hold-up stockings with some knee high boots, maybe even a pair of frilly panties to peek below your skirt - its all up to your own personal preference.

So there you are walking through the park, maybe walking the dog, and you pass by two vikings sat on a park bench passing the time of day as usual.  Hold on a moment – Vikings! on a park bench! passing the time of day!  Actually your probably at Butlins so this is probably not to unusual a scene.  This pair of vikings were questioned as to what they were waiting for and they said the sun was good for their skin – helps take the warty bits away by all accounts.  I suggested makeup – lots of makeup!

These fancy dress costumes are an ace choice if you wanna impress or scare your fellow party goers.  As a halloween costume you wouldn’t go far wrong.  Just don’t forget to put on some warm underwear (maybe some wolly leggings!) as it gets kind of drafty if your not sat in the sun – I know that vikings probably didn’t wear underwear but there is no need to be to authentic now is there ?  Viking costumes are relatively new to the masses and as such you can be assured of standing out amongst the crowd and really being remembered as having the best fancy dress on the night – even if noone is too sure exactly who you are underneath the latex mask but hey it all adds to the appeal!  Take a look at our other choices of viking warrior outfits at fancydressball.co.uk and decide how mean you want to look at your next event.  Just don’t steal the party organisers cattle and please leave his wife alone!  Don’t forget – send us your photographs and you might even win a free costume!
