Most people find they have an attraction for a member of the opposite sex who is dressed in uniform.  What better for a fancy dress costume event to pair up with your better half and both go for a similiar theme.  In this case the people pictured below have gone for a military theme.  The three people below were not out in the same group however they were drawn together by mysterious higher forces working on behave of the great fancy dress entity!

The guys are wearing a classic US Navy Sailor - you know girls the one from An Officer and a Gentleman.  The lady is showing herself off in a sexy little army uniform, similiar to the popular Army Cadet costume but adapted to show off her midriff!

All costumes lend themselves to being adapted to suit the wearer.  The best way to customise your fancy dress costume is to add accessories.  The bullet belt is popular addition when dressed as a soldier.  So take a look at our choice of costumes and get the basic look and then accessorise!  Hope to see you all marching round your next fancy dress event!

In previous years we have had players and pimps, soldiers, rock gods and cartoon characters.  We decided 2009 must be at least as good as any of our previous costumes.  As it turns out our choice for 2009 had some true WoW factor as we found out when we went on patrol in our LA SWAT team costumes.

The outfits are a custom build of fancydressball.co.uk and are not available from any other costume shop that we have been able to find making it a great choice for your next fancy dress event.  Put on this costume and you will feel like the real thing and may find yourself wanting to arrest someone – or at least handcuff a few people and give them a caution for naughty behavior!  The outfit is loved by everyone and if you want to impress the opposite sex then what is better than a sexy uniform?  So if you can handle being the centre of attention and are willing to become the focus of many different cameras then contact us at fancydressball.co.uk and we will sort you out with this this awesome costume.

Well everyone your long overdue an update on our year on year visits to Butlins!  It was clear that to make a big impact with our fancy dress costumes we had to come up with a good fancy dress theme.  Knowing that uniform fancy dress is a popular choice we decided to combine the 70′s Butlins theme with some uniform fancy dress costumes and came up with U.S. Vietnam War Soldiers.  We struggled to get any volunteers to dress up as a Vietnamese soldier but we did try!  After much shopping round the costume was born and as you can see from the picture below we really hit the mark and came up with a really good costume which are now available by contacting us at fancydressball.co.uk

Gene Simmons and Alice Cooper

For those about to rock!…  We certainly salute these two for paying homage to their rock idols by fashioning costumes and donning face paint and rock wigs in their likenesses.  For the uneducated amongst you, these two are Gene Simmons and Alice Cooper - although I’m told by an underground source of fancydressball.co.uk that their real names are Howie and Phil – but who knows the truth.  Both these artists had great success in the Eighties with their respective bands Kiss and Alice Cooper, each putting their hand to the mold which formed many of today’s Rock and Heavy Metal bands.  Costumes wise these guys have really gone out and put real thought and effort into mastering a look which probably took many makeup and costume artists several hours to perfect.  These are not off the shelf solutions but we here at fancydressball.co.uk have the manpower, resource and talent to produce these custom builds – why not make contact us with an idea and we’ll do our best to provide a unique fancy dress solution for you and your friends.
