Has anybody got any original and easy fancy dress ideas?

Question

I am going to a party on Friday and will have chance to shop for half of friday but also have a budget of about £25.

Answer 1

Go as Andy pipkin from little Britain! just rope in a mate to dress up a Lou,borrow a wheelchair from the local old folks home, get a big baggy pair of sweat pants and a grubby vest!

Answer 2

It is very simple to get a costume with that amount of money, have a look in charity shops etc or you could ask your mates or relatives for some clothes that they don't want, that way you can alter them with no loss of money.
Also as an idea, I would say go as someone who has inspired or influenced you in some way; if you don't like that idea go as a character from a movie that you like.

If you are a guy, I would suggest to go as Eric Draven from 'The Crow' or maybe something like Michael Myers from 'Halloween'

If you are a girl, maybe a corpse bride, or a vampiress.

Answer 3

Hi Zoe,
I was attracted to your Q, as my old ski boat is called Zoe.
That is by the by.
I sometimes go to these fancy dress things, and for less than £20, pitch up as a TV character.
I seem to have been Adrian out of The Young Ones, with my scool blazer & tie and a copy of "Cosmopolitan".
I tried to be Marc Bolan, as in Ride a White Swan, with the permed hair. I looked a complete twit.
I can do a bit of a Tom Baker, Dr. Who. with my hand made long silly woolen scarf, and charity shop black felt hat. ( £2.59)

All the best with your party, and if you want Hida Baker to show up, reply !

Bob.

How about going as a chest of drawers? All you need is a piece of string tied around your chest and peg a load of your knickers to it, how cheap is that!

Failing that, how about a dice, get a big box and cut arms and leg holes in and paint white with spots.

Good luck with the outfit that you choose and enjoy the party.

Answer 5

How about the pygmy look of the Amazon forest?? U have to only indulge in some tatoo marks and a small(very small)peice of red cloth to cover ur private part.If u hv got a fabulous figure u could show off ur body bulges and ur rear too!!YA and keep the rest of ur money for serious indulgence....have fun.

Answer 6

I have a friend who once went to a party as a bag of rubbish. She made a dress out of a binbag then stapled real rubbish to herself. She stank and no one went near her all night.

The same girl them went to the next terms party as a trifle, and then, obviously thinking that wasn't enough, to the final terms party as a brick wall.
I am not joking, she wore all red and painted bricks on her face. I nearly died laughing the day she confessed this to me, and now I am pleased to be able to share it with the world.

Answer 7

That's about $30 US Dollars, right? I would suggest big department stores - I'm not sure what they have in the UK, but you might want to look at a store like Macy's or JC Penney's. (Links: www.macys.com and www.jcpenney.com.)

Another idea would be to take a skirt (preferably knee-length or longer) and yank it up to be like a tube dress.

Hope this helps!

Answer 8

THe saint trinians school girls always a winner.All you need is a white shirt a tie short black or navy skirt,knee high socks (or stockings for a sexy look).Put your hair in pig tails or plaits,dot on some freckles with eyeliner on cheeks,and this probably wont cost you a penny.ENJOY.

Answer 9

go as a tramp you surely have old clothers that you can tear up and a bit of soot cheaper than £25. even down to worn out shoes . I once went as a tramp with a twist . I wore an old skirt torn up jumper and an old pair of comfortable high shoes well worn and my mums fur coat. I got first prize.

Answer 10

it truly is vitally consumer-friendly to get a gown with that volume of funds, have a glance in charity shops etc or you'll likely manage to favor to ask your friends or family members persons for some clothing that they don't choose, that way you are able to regulate them without lack of funds. also as an concept, i'd say pass as someone who has inspired or brought on you circuitously; in case you don't like that theory pass as a personality from a action photo that you want. once you're a guy, i'd propose to pass as Eric Draven from 'The Crow' or likely something like Michael Myers from 'Halloween' once you're a woman, in line with threat a corpse bride, or a vampiress.
