Top five fantasy frocks: a guide to fancy dress for females
So, Friday night is looming and you still haven’t decided what to wear to that party. While finding the right dress can be difficult at the best of times, finding the right fancy dress outfit can be nigh on impossible. There are the established classics: Wonderwoman, bride of Frankenstein, etc. But who wants to follow the crowd? Not you, so here are the top 5 best and ‘so bad it’s good’ costumes.
1) Angelica – Pirates of the Caribbean. As Penelope Cruz becomes the newest addition to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, it has never been a better time to don the bodices and knee-high leather boots. You too can swashbuckle your way, maybe not to buried treasure, but at least through the queue at the bar! The adult Victorian pirate costume is currently part of the spring sale at Escapade to save you money, and can be picked up for £34.99, making this a cheap fancy dress option.
2) Little Red Riding Hood. If you aim to be topical, another film to grace the silver screen lately is Red Riding Hood; the twisted slant on the famous fairy tale. The costume includes the red cape, black belt and dress. However, if you are looking for a little more edge, then you could upgrade to lil’ dead riding hood, the zombie alternative to the unfortunate girl. The dress and cape comes styled with tears and gashes, and you can even add in the famous wicker basket, complete with a wolf’s head inside!
3) Corpse Bride. On the theme of the undead, the ethereal and creepy corpse bride would make the perfect addition to a Halloween party, or just to surprise your dinner guests. It may be a while before your beau takes you down the alter, but it will at least make you stand out. The costume is complete with head piece, skeleton arm and ghostly wedding dress.
4) Neytiri – Avatar. Get in on the Academy Award winning action by attending your next party as the star of the biggest blue movie to date. That’s not as dodgy as it sounds, we mean Avatar – of course. You won’t need to spend hours with blue makeup as the blue jumpsuit creates the desired effect, along with the tail and well-placed apron, all for £42.99.
5) Foxy Lady. So bad it’s good – well you’re not going to opera, are you? With a flared jump suit adorned with more glitter and sequins than you can shake a stick at, this costume will really send you and your friends on a trip down memory lane. All it needs is an afro wig and you’ll be on the dance floor throwing moves you thought were extinct.
With original outfits, from a pirate fancy dress costumes to tacky classics – now there is no excuse to play safe at your next shin dig. With the outfits at Escapade you can shock, scare and surprise your friends every time.
