A fancy dress party is definitely a licence to let your imagination go wild. For instance, you could go as Pinocchio. Make a cardboard pencil nose and attach it with either a white or skin coloured piece of elastic, complete your costume with shirt, shorts and felt hat. If you are on the heavy side consider going as the Genie from Aladdin. Some blue body paint is all that is required. If you are going to a periodical themed ball then you can go as your favourite historical character, or maybe a character from one of Shakespeare's plays. You can pretty much come up with a unique costume that nobody can copy. Innovative, creative and imaginative are the key essentials to creating a fancy dress costume. Have a good look in your wardrobe for everyday clothing that you can use. A baseball themed event can have you posting a hilarious slogan on a T-shirt. You can dress up quite easy as a klutz by wearing mismatched clothes or odd socks. Have you ever tried playing with watercolour tubes that your kids may have lying around? You can take these and dress your kids in a regular shirt and pair of shorts and draw a moustache and put a hat and holster on them. Then just enjoy how much they love their new looks. Costumes can have a great impact on the people who see them on you. If you are addressing an issue, try using a costume to get people's attention and draw them into what you are trying to say. If you want kids and adults to learn more on genetically modified foods, dress the little ones like a tomato and tell them what are the pros and cons of the foods. The kids and grown ups would love to remember the information rather than going through a boring textbook. Your costume ideas in a sense can add value to your life. It is a reflection of your attitude toward life. If you want to have fun, design a costume that will take you out from your busy life. If you are mad about Discos, the dance craze of the 1970s, you can reflect the same carefree mix of fashion and fun with your costume. As an earnest fan of Marilyn Monroe or Sherlock Homes, you can pay your tribute by dressing up like them. Plan your costumes for all occasions, be it Christmas or Halloween, in a different way. Don't buy expensive dresses and ready made costumes, instead, design them. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
