Rent a Civil War era dress from a costume shop and go as Scarlet O'Hara. Everybody has watched “Gone with the Wind.”

Can you find a bloke to pair up with? You could then easily pull together costumes for Sharon and Ozzy!
If you're stuck on your own, how about the vicar of Dibley - a cassock would mean no need to breathe in all night!

The hot nun from Sound of Music? How about Pocahontas, remeber her?
If none of those, then try this as a helping hand:

I've dressed as both Mia Wallace and Lara Croft for fancy dress parties - both really easy costumes to put together.
Or, if you're curvy, go as Marliyn in THAT white dress.

OOH find a black dress like Audrey Hepburn's from Breakfast at Tiffany's!!! I don't know easy those will be to find... but just go to the women's section and look for a straight black dress with an a-line and side straps. It doesn't even have to be exactly like it.... just similar. Because then you can wear black gloves up to your elbows and get a long cigarette and put your hair up with a tiara and EVERYONE will know who you are!!

How about a saloon/can-can girl? My friends dressed like one for a party we went to recently and she looked great!! Not too clingy or skimpy but still gives you a chance to get glammed up and look sexy! Have fun! :-)
