When you are shopping for fancy dress outfits you will soon realise that there is a huge selection available to you. Out of the most popular products at the moment, 70s costumes are probably the latest addition. Over the past couple of years there has been a huge amount of renewed interest in this decade. A lot of us are old enough to remember it with great clarity and the thought of its fashions, which a lot of us actually wore, make us cringe.

Although it is not just the 70s costumes that pop stars wore that are generating people’s attention, it is also the outfits that were worn be people in children’s television programmes. Captain Pugwash, Hong Kong Phooey and Bagpuss are all available as fancy dress outfits. Even the characters from Rainbow can be found in some outlets. If you are invited to a 70s costumes fancy dress evening, then don’t be at all surprised if you bump into Bungle, Zippy or George. Other famous children’s characters that are on offer include the dramatis personae from Battlestar Galactica and that often forgotten children’s classic, Rentaghost.
