Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean series of film has really made being a pirate sexy again.

There are four movies in the series that came to fruition from a theme park ride.  Since the success of the films, numerous video games that have also been created.  Key characters include Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan, Hector Barbossa, Joshamee Gibbs and last but not least, Angelica – all of them serving as great inspiration for fancy dress.

The Mystic Seductress Gypsy Costume is one of the Eye Candy sexy fancy dress costumes that come from California.  When paired with the Seductress Brunette Wig, it provides a real Penelope Cruz appeal.  The costume comes in purple and features a long dress with a deep slip on one thigh with a waist sash, corset, belt, and matching head wrap.

Another sexy option is Ruby the Pirate Beauty.  This costume is styled in black, white, and red and features a corset styled top with front ties and white bloused off the shoulder sleeves.  The skirt is cut to a jagged edge that works its way from centre thigh downward.  A contrasting hip wrap accentuates the hips and a head tie gives it that bohemian-pirate feel.  Jolly Roger Cuffed Pirate Boots work great with this and, as pirate turned vixens (or vixens turned pirate) generally have long hair; a seductress wig or other long wig completes the look.  To really get into the role, add a pirate sword.

A witch is a classic choice of Halloween costumes for a woman or a girl. But at Fancy Dress Ball, we have so many different types of witch outfits that no matter what your taste or style, you can find the perfect one for you.

Carrying a little extra weight is no barrier to enjoying parties, and there is a huge range of fancy dress outfits available in bigger sizes. There are even some that will help accentuate the positive features of a larger physique. We stock plenty of ladies and men’s fancy dress costumes for bustier and curvier fancy dress fans.

Traditionally the place to start was with loose-fitting outfits. Cartoon characters like Tweety Bird allow lots of room for comfort and easy movement. We’ve got Tweety, Bugs, Tigger, and all your old favourites – even Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog. This kind of costume is suitable for anyone, no matter what size or gender.

Bigger men can make the best of their bulk with superhero costumes. Batman and Robin outfits with sculpted chest panels are great if your six-pack is well hidden under a few layers. You can use extra weight to your advantage and become a truly formidable caveman or aim for comedy value with our men’s Ugly Sisters outfits. There is even a special page for men’s plus size costumes under the general men’s section.

Curvy ladies don’t have to miss out on sexy fancy dress costumes. We recommend taking a look at those outfits that come with a corset – this will help reduce the waistline while giving you a profile that will really get noticed. The skinny girls will envy you and any eligible bachelors in the room will certainly take a second look! Check out our Racy Red Riding Hood outfit or the Medieval Tavern Wench for two good examples.

Fancy dress as a phenomenon is rising in prominence. In the past such attire was largely restricted to parties and much of it was homemade.

Now, however, it is common to see groups of people out and about for drinks in towns and cities across the country wearing such gear. Plus, because retailers have increased the variety of products they offer, some of the fancy dress costumes are highly elaborate and impressive.

So, the number of times you will come into contact with revellers dressed in such unusual clothing is rising all the time.

Perhaps therefore, you should start to take a greater interest in what particular ensembles say about their wearers.

For example, if you meet a man or woman sporting 1970s fancy dress, you might be able to glean that the individual is up for a laugh and is not self-conscious. After all, such getup is bound to ensure they are noticed.

Meanwhile, if you see someone who is adorned is sexy fancy dress, you may guess that they are after attention from the opposite sex. This also implies they are confident about their body.

On the other hand, when a person enters a pub wearing a superhero costume, it is fairly safe to suggest they do not take themselves too seriously and may well be a bit of a joker.

Of course there are always those people who opt for understated outfits. It is probable that they do not like to be the centre of attention.
