Fancy Dress Costumes – Perfect For Theme Nights

Fancy dress costumes are a lot of fun. Not just because you can be someone else for a night, but also because assembling them takes a lot of thinking and creativity, and it becomes a very enjoyable process, especially if you are planning it with some friends.

While you can buy numerous kinds of costumes from stores nowadays, but in this way you will not only be missing out on all the fun of putting together the stuff all by yourself but they will also cost you quite a bit of money. You can save your money, and have a lot of fun by making your own costume.

Let’s say, you are going to a theme night as a witch. Well, you probably have all you need to be dressed up as a witch in your own house. To start with, you need to figure out the clothes first. For clothes, you need a long black cloak or a robe that is black in colour. If you have neither, you can take an old white sheet, dye it in black colour and simply use your thread and needle to make it look like a cloak.

For this, fold the sheet in half, and cut out a hole for your head to pass through. Once you have cut the head put it on, and ask a friend to put needles where you need to sew it to make the arm holes. Just sew a straight line from there till your waist. When you put it on, it will look slightly like a figure eight shape, but you have successfully made a cloak without spending money.

Next, you need a pointy hat. For this, take some black cardboard, and mould it into a top hat shape. Put staples in it to keep it in shape. You will also need black shoes, and a broom as your own personal conveyance.

The most important part of a witch’s fancy dress is to make sure you get the makeup right. You have to look very scary and very ugly, as that is how witches look. So, just take your makeup and get creative. Don’t forget to put on a wart and a very dark lipstick.

In just one day, and with almost no money, you can transform your house supplies into a fancy dress costume for a witch. It is not difficult and certainly not expensive to do all this, and you will actually end up having fun trying to figure out how to get everything right without making a large mess.

Theme nights can be a lot of fun with costumes where everyone tries to look more authentic than the other. It is great to have some sort of a prize at the end of the party for the best costume, especially if people have worked to make the costumes themselves and have not bought them. With just a little bit of creativity, you can make your costume the best of the night.
