When it comes to fancy dress, women sure know how to do it right. But if you want to ensure that you not only look your best but you’re also the most sexy girl at the party, here are some tips on choosing the right costume for you from our full range of sexy outfits.

At Fancy Dress Ball, we carry three different ranges of sexy fancy dress costumes including costumes from Eye Candy by California, The Forever Collection, and Leg Avenue Costumes. You’ll find French maid outfits, sexy sailor girl suits, fairy tale characters, hippy outfits, and many more.

For tall girls with a lot of leg, try choosing something with a very short skirt such as our Shipmate Cutie Blue Sailor Costume from Leg Avenue Costumes. This sexy outfit includes the hat, dress, and belt. Pair with white socks and black shoes, or our specialty Sexy Matey Sailor Shoes available for purchase separately.

And for girls with long hair, you’ll want to show off your locks. Long hair is sexy, so don’t cover it up with a hat or elaborate headdress. Rather, wear an outfit that compliments your hair, perhaps with a simple bow or a tiara on your head. The classic Snow White Costume from Leg Avenue Costumes is a prime example of how you can show off your beautiful hair and  still wear something on your head.

There are many more great choices for girls of all shapes and sizes. The key is to choose a ladies fancy dress costume that complements your best features.

How to Get the Best from your Fancy Dress Party 0

Posted on April 29, 2011 by admin

Planning a fancy dress party can be a great experience, but it can also be quite stressful as you’re trying to decide how to go about it. You want to give everyone a fantastic evening and that can only happen if you know what you’re doing, so just how can you get the best from your party?

Well, your first consideration will be whether to have a theme (1980s fancy dress or a film theme, for example) or give people free rein with their costume choices. The decision is entirely down to you and what you want from your costume party, and if you’re worried about people not putting the effort in then you might want to up the stakes a little bit – having a competition for the best outfit can be a great way to get people’s creative juices going, encouraging them to put the effort in and come up with the best outfit possible.

Then you need to think about the setting itself, with your music and catering choices being important considerations. You want to get a great selection of music on stand-by to keep the party going, and of course the drinks need to be flowing and you need the right food to accompany it. But, the most important consideration will always be your own choice of outfit – you’re the host and as such need to set an example to your guests, meaning a great deal of care needs to be taken in choosing the men’s or ladies fancy dress outfits to suit. If you’ve got everything under control then you can look forward to having a great party, and then all that’s left to do is enjoy yourself!
