If you already have the final patterns, make use of a fabric pencil or a pen to trace the petal image on two complimentary colors that would make a beautiful floral appearance. But you don’t have to cut the fabric at this time. Repeatedly trace the flower petal across the length of the green fabric.

Have each pieces of fabric layered down, while off-setting the flower petals. This way, both colors can be seen in a layered fashion.

Fold over the top of the skirt so you can make a cover over the elastic. Have the waist of the skirt brought down upon itself. Sew the top waistband down. Remember to ensure that the elastic can lie down even if it’s not sewn into the waistband. Close the top of the waistband with the use of Velcro.

4 Top Fancy Dress Party Theme Ideas

4 Top Fancy Dress Party Theme Ideas

Ok, so you have decided that your next party will by fancy dress. Costumes will be required, and everyone has to dress up.

But what on earth are you going to choose as a theme? Most people fall into two categories at this point, those who have too many ideas, and those who have none!

So here are a few great ideas and suggested costume ideas to match, to narrow your choices. And don’t worry, there are plenty of online adult costume shops that stock these sorts of items.

Angels and Demons
This is idea is one of my favourites, as it gives people two ‘sides’ to choose from. Those that want to be Angels can buy Adult Fairy Costumes, Angel costumes or something similar.

Wands would be good, large costume wings will stand out, and a little (or large!) halo to wear on top of your head will just cap off the Angel fancy dress outfit.

Demons can be just about anything with horns and a tail! You can quite readily find great Demon costumes in bright red colours, or maybe bend the definition a bit and go for a Gothic costume, Vampire or something similar.

The Retro Party
Get down and boogie!

Retro fancy dress parties really open the door to lots of great costumes. You can go for the disco cowboy look, girls can dress up in ‘go go girl’ costumes (complete with knee high boots!), or you can go for the John Travolta look, with tight pants, tight shirt with lots of chest hair.

Or, just to be a little different, how about a roller girl costume? Turn up on skates to really get people’s attention!

The other great option is a Hippy Costume. Peace man! grab some big gold chains, a short tight skirt, some platforms, and boogie with the best of them as a 60′s Hippy.
A ‘P’ Party
Got you thinking now haven’t I? A ‘P’ fancy dress party is for any costume that starts with the letter ‘P’.

P is a great choice because there are lots of costumes that begin with P, such as Pirate costumes, Princess costumes, pimp, Popeye and more.

This idea gives people a good number of choices, and you will surely find a wide range of costumes at a party like this, some will be very creative!

Movie Themes
There are heaps of great movie themes that you can choose for a fancy dress party. Harry Potter, Star Wars and other great movies can give you lots of ideas. Either tell people to come as any movie character, or be more specific.

Often younger kids in the same age group will all like the same show or movie, so Dora or Diego might be good ideas for costumes, or Harry Potter.

I hope these ideas give you a good place to start as you look for great ideas for your next fancy dress party.

A Pink Fairy Costume e Was All She Talked About

by AmericaninCanada

A Pink Fairy Costume e Was All She Talked About

All my little girl talked about was wearing a fairy dress costume for Halloween. She has always been interested in fairies. But she couldn’t make up her mind what kind of fairy she should be. I showed her a few fairy halloween costumes and she still hasn’t really made up her mind. We looked at a fairy fantasy costume and a princess fairy costume, but she keeps wanting to check out some more. She spotted the costume of a woodland fairy and a rather spooky one. We decided to take a break and check out all the fairy accessories, like a cute little choker and wand. There were costume fairy wings, headpieces and wands for all types of a girls fairy costume.

We had to pick out a costume for our little toddler girl too. I saw a little tulip fairies costume that would be perfect for her. Well, actually there were two that would look cute on her. There was the tulip pink fairy costume and the sugar plum purple fairy costume. They were the perfect size for our toddler daughter. Our daughter suggested that the whole family become fairies for halloween. I explained to her that Daddy might not go for that idea, and we may not be able to be a fairy family. I doubt if my husband would even consider dressing up like a fairy. It ‘s kind of sweet to think of a fairy tale family.

We laughed so hard when I told her Daddy what she wanted. I tried to make her understand that fairies are little girls. Then she informed me that she has a movie that has boy fairies in it. What kind of come back could I have for that? All I could do was keep her busy looking for her halloween outfit and hope she forgot her family fairy idea. We checked out princess costumes and other fairy halloween outfits looking for the perfect one. There was quite a selection to look over. Instead of finding hers , she found what she thought I should wear. She said I should wear the costume of the fairy godmother since I was already a mommy. I promised to think it over and agreed with her that it would be a great costume for mommy.

After looking at costumes for the rest of us, we got back to looking for the perfect little girl fairy costume for her. Finally she spotted the one she wanted. It was a snowflake fairy. It was such an adorable costume. It was the perfect costume for a little winter fairy, just as white as snow. So, that was it. There were accessories that we needed to find for her costume. We found the fairy wings and snowflake wand that was perfect for her little costume. There was also an awesome little tiara that matches with the snowflake costume. She was all set with white shoes and tights for it. We had our snowflake fairy all set for halloween. We also had everything for her little sister ordered too. We decided she would be the tulip fairy.

We did pretty good as far as getting all the decorations and props we needed. My husband is really having a great time decorating the house for halloween. Our little snowflake fairy is having fun helping her Dad decorate everything. She is anxiously awaiting halloween this year. As soon as our halloween costumes arrived she insisted we try them on. Both the tulip fairy and the snowflake fairy looked adorable. I ended up being the fairy godmother this halloween. Daddy, who didn’t exactly relish the idea, got the tooth fairy costume, anyway.

Ladies Traditional Christmas Fancy Dress Costume Ideas Guide

Ladies Traditional Christmas Fancy Dress Costume Ideas Guide

It doesn’t matter our age we women just love an excuse to dress up and with the festive season so close we don’t need any other reason to don our favourite christmas fancy dress costume.
Girls, get ready to jingle Santa’s bells, rein in the reindeer and make Christmas a real cracker as we take a look at some stunning super sexy or just traditional festive fancy dress costumes around this year.

LADIES’ SEXY MINI SANTA DRESS: Too sexy for words if you have the figure to wear these little stunners. Whether you choose your little number with sleeves, straps or basque style, all of them are white fur-trimmed. If you’re feeling glitzy, you can even get them in sparkly or sequinned material, just look around. A hat or red glittery hair band would look great depending on your age, but a great finisher would be some long, red, sexy gloves edged with the white fur if you’re an adult with a sleeveless dress. Just don’t stand too close to any mistletoe while wearing this outfit!!!
If you really want to stand out and shine, you may wish to consider a ladies’ light-up Santa costume. These outfits have minute lights sewn into the skirt part of the dress. It’s up to you when you decide to switch them on, but there’s one thing for sure – they‘re not to be worn if you want to avoid anyone. A great fun outfit.

VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS CAROLLER: For those ladies that want to dress up but cover up a bit more, this beautiful traditional costume will take you back to the old-style Dickensian Christmas card and films. The costume is traditionally calf or ankle length and green is the most popular colour. A hooded cape edged in some kind of red plaid would set off the era of the costume and a large white fur muff is a perfect finisher. This would be a great outfit to keep you nice and warm if you go carolling on a cold night while looking truly authentic..

SEXY ELF: You can be one of Santa’s little helpers in this festive frock, but I would suggest not wearing this if you still have all the presents to put out around the tree. The elf costume edges are usually shaped into points around the skirt bottom and sleeves. You must wear the hat if you want to be traditional. TIP: If it’s cold where you live, then get some long-legged, striped elf stockings; they look terrific and funky, honest, and don’t forget the elf slippers if you’re looking to do the whole theme.

ADULT FAIRY: If you’re into ultra-feminine, then this costume would be a perfect choice. It tends to come in various lengths along with halo and wings. Hints of pale pinks and blues are often found in the material with some touches of glitter and sequins sewn on, making this a stunning and quite beautiful costume to wear. Just be careful you don’t snag your wings while partying!!

With Christmas fancy dress costumes, it’s all about sparkle and spangles so add some facial glitter high on the cheekbones and get some fabulous red lipstick and a good quality lip gloss as you don’t want it running. Red, silver, gold, glittery or sequinned bows, earrings, hair bands all help to set the festive scene; oh, and girls, don’t forget to carry a sprig of mistletoe when partying.

Shopping For Large Size – Fancy Angel Costumes

by johnny z.

Shopping For Large Size – Fancy Angel Costumes

As nations on both sides of the Atlantic, we are getting bigger and more of us are having to wear plus size clothing. It has been estimated that around fifty-eight million adults in the USA and about twenty-four million adults in the UK are now considered to be overweight or obese. That’s an awful lot of people needing to buy plus size garments. Fortunately, fuller figures are now well catered for in the clothing industry, despite the continued use of size zero models on the runway and in fashion magazine shoots. However, if you are going to a party and are looking for fancy dress to fit the fuller figure, it can be a little more difficult to find a costume to suit. This is where angel costumes have an advantage. Many outfits, for example French Maid or Cat Woman costumes, are either revealing or very snug fitting, exposing more curves than you bargained for (if you can even fit into them in the first place, as they are usually only supplied in small sizes). Angel fancy dress, on the other hand, does not have to be revealing. You can easily look the part in a generously cut dress or flowing robe and can accentuate the accessories, such as a huge pair of sparkling wings and fancy halo.

Fuller figure angel costumes can be purchased from specialist retailers and the easiest way to find these is to search on-line. One advantage to buying from the internet is that you can try on outfits in the privacy and comfort of your own home. Browsing the internet, I have found a very good selection of fuller figure fancy angel dress. One of these is a pretty angel costume to fit sizes 14-18 (UK dress size). This consists of a white mini dress with see-through net sleeves and feather trim on the shoulders, cuffs and hem. Matching wings and halo are also available and, of course, these will fit any size. Another example I came across was a dark angel costume, which consists of a flatteringly cut black dress (black is slimming as we all know), with matching black halo and impressive wings. White or black fishnet tights or stockings are available in large sizes, to complete your outfit. If your “fuller figure” is due to pregnancy, however, you can even buy a maternity angel costume, which includes a dress specifically cut to fit pregnant women.

Plus size angel fancy dress is cut generously, so that the costumes are accessible to everyone, no matter what their size or shape. So, whether you need an XL or XXL angel fancy dress costume, there is no reason why you should not be able to find a beautiful outfit to fit.

Three Simple Tips to Help You Find the Perfect Plus Size Fairy Costume

by meryddian

Three Simple Tips to Help You Find the Perfect Plus Size Fairy Costume

It is hard enough trying to find a costume let alone one that fits a woman with a few curves. What we are going to talk about here are the three areas you need to watch out for when searching for a plus size fairy costume. These are simple tips that will help you save money and aid in searching for the right costume that will fit your body type and personality.

1) Price

Just because a costume is labeled plus size the costume should not be double the price. Often times certain stores and websites may raise their prices on plus size costumes. They see it as a specialty item, instead of a mainstream costume made for the Halloween or the year around market. It is Ok to pay a little more, but double or triple the price is not worth your hard earned money. You may notice that no matter where you find your costume it may be a little more expensive than the smaller sizes and that is OK. Keep in mind that these costumes are designed especially for your body type, because the smaller costumes are made pretty much all the same. You are basically buying a customized piece of clothing.

2) Sexiness of the costume

Contrary to popular belief, plus size costumes are some of the sexiest for Halloween or for that matter for any event or special occasion. While smaller costumes are just made to fit a more narrow frame, plus size costumes are made to enhance those areas of the woman who are considered pleasing the eye. They enhance what a curvy woman has and add just the right sensual touch to the holiday evening. For those that are a little self-conscious about wearing one of these costumes, all it takes is to try one on to see how nice it will make you look.

3) Availability

How hard are they to find? It all depends what part of the world you live in, but for most western countries, they can easily be found through a quick search through the internet. Web stores usually have a better choice in styles, sizes and colors. Most Halloween superstores or retail stores in general only carry what they think they can sell. Sizes are often limited. This is not the case with online retail stores. Most are year around and stock high levels of inventory for any time of the year. The higher inventory also makes them a lot less expensive than a regular retail store. Since they buy larger quantities, they get a bigger discount in cost which is passed on to the costumer.

These are just a few helpful tips to finding the right plus size costume for you. If you don’t find what you are looking for in one internet store, then continue on to the next. You are going to find that not all costume internet stores are the same and most do not carry the same inventory. Have fun shopping and enjoy the holiday season.

This is my favorite sewing project I have ever done! In celebration of Mardi Gras (and my fav holiday Halloween) I wanted to make a cool fairy costume that was all organic, made from scrap fabric, cheap and had the flare of the New Olreans french Quarter! (My home town…) It took all day to make it and had alot of extra pieces : the body, skirt, wrist bands, neck piece and the faux lace up boots! I did my make-up with a beet and olive oil. xoxo
