Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

• Visit thrift shops or second hand stores. You will find unique items in these shops that will do the job as long as you know what you kind of look you want. Consider retro and vintage clothing from the 60s, 70s, and 80s at a keen prices. These can otherwise be hard to find.

When you put in this kind of effort there is virtually no chance anyone will look anything like you. You can select printed tees or bold patterns and colors. Experiment with mix and match items you buy from these shops. Make sure to keep an eye out for damages.

• visit your attic and take a look through your old boxes ad bags. These are a rich treasure of vintage finds. Your parents will have some cool clothes that you could make some use of. Be creative and experiment.

• When you get some cash, go to clothes shops in your local shopping centre. For women, you can buy printed baby tees or skinny jeans or stiletto heals in your favourite shops. Men are far are easier to dress. Just a pair of tatty denims, a few fitted t-shirts, and matching shoes will complete your whole rock star look.

To find more ideas for 70s fancy dress check out old films and TV series of the 1970’s. YOu remember aliens jumping out onto unsuspecting heroes, superheroes flew and fell in love, and the enterprise navigated final frontiers. The mix is bold colours, outrageous clothes, disco fever and a list of memorable moments.

It was a time of party and disco, and your 70s fancy dress is the way to recreate your nostalgic look at the era.

70s fancy dress for halloween

Friday, October 16th, 2009

We all know what a lot of fun you can have at Halloween. A lot of people will be taking part in strange games and activities such as ‘bobbing for apples’ and eating themed cookies that are purposely made to look green and moldy. Halloween is also the most popular time of the entire year for fancy dress. You are bound to find guests dressed up in all kinds of weird and wonderful things. Strangely enough, something that is becoming increasingly popular on All Hallows Eve is 70s fancy dress.

I think that part of the reason for people choosing this rather than the more traditional spooky outfits is that they simply want to try doing something a bit different. When you are at a Halloween party, you can certainly be sure that you will stand out from the crowd if you are wearing a 70s fancy dress costume. A guest who is dressed up as Elvis Presley is definitely going to stick out like a sore thumb when he is in a room that is full of vampires, robots, ghosts and werewolves. If you want to go to a Halloween party and make an impression then this is a great way to do it.

One of the best things about a party at Halloween is that anything goes. No one is going to laugh if you turn up in 70s fancy dress. The whole point of this sort of event is that everyone wears something bizarre. For one guest that can mean dressing up as Edward Scissorhands whilst for another it can suggest becoming Ronald McDonald for the evening. If you like the idea of being Barry Gibb (complete with stick-on hairy chest, open-necked shirt and gold medallion) then so be it.
