Costume ideas need the greatest input you have - your ideas. You don’t have to buy or hire a costume unless you want to. You can make a costume instead with your innovative and unique ideas. The first step will be obviously to know about the situation. You cannot have a jazzy, glittery costume on a formal dinner. On the other hand, a stiff-collared formal dress will ruin the mood of a hip-hop party.
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.
Be imaginative, innovative, and creative with your fancy dress costume. At times, it is just a perfect combination of your day-to-day clothing that adds value and fun to the occasion. A poster with a piece of hilarious message on your ordinary T-shirt is a perfect costume when you are going for a baseball match or for example, in Death on the Mound you can play a clutz by simply wearing different coloured 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.
Let’s say you are trying to address the issue of eating genetically modified fruits and vegetables. You can dress in a tomato or carrot costume, this will help the viewers get more interested when you are talking about the pros and cons of genetically modified fruits and vegetables. This is a good way to make your message stick out in the minds of the viewers and less boring than reading it from somewhere.
Costume ideas can also represent how you are and what you like as a person. If you are someone who loved the Disco era then choose or make a costume that would reflect that time period. If you love the renaissance then make or choose a costume that would represent that particular look of the period. On the other hand if you are wild and crazy at heart choose a costume that reflects just how crazy you can be. You can plan costumes for all occasions. Do not go and buy any more ready-made costumes and expensive dress clothing to make an impression make your own.
