On Your Own

• Revisit your childhood and Dress up like your popular girl power characters - remember Jem, Smurfette, Punky Brewster, and Judy Jetson?


• How scary was the movie Carrie? With a petite fake blood; red paint; a pink prom Dress; a fake, bloody corsage; and a long wig, you can recreate the prom night scene (and not have to do your hAir!).


• Go traditional and do a real witch, vampire, or bride of Frankenstein costume.

Group Costumes

• Represent your popular Tv show casts. There's a new group of gals in town! The ladies of the new hit Abc Tv show Pan Am. If you are hardpressed to find a good Pan Am costume for all the gals in your group, try a generic costume - and be the life of the Party as these flight attendants had been in their hey-day. Click here to see "stewardess" costumes or here. Great yet, be the captain.


• Do something that stands out and is totally Silly - like the Fantana girls.


• Mystery, Inc. Team. You know them as Shaggy, Velma, Fred, Daphne, and Scooby.


• Gilligan's Island. Ginger, Mary Anne, The Professor, The Howells, The Skipper, and Gilligan. Easy to make, easy to pull off.


• Wizard of Oz. Skip into the Party as Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man...and Toto.

Couple Costumes

• Ones we never think of: Lucy and Ricky, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing (think the last scene - "Nobody puts Baby in a corner"), Michael Jackson and his girlfriend in the "Thriller" video...get creative!


• The ones you see all the time: Bonnie and Clyde (those broad-shouldered jackets are so in, after all), Popeye and Olive Oyl, any Disney couple.


• Get in fact artsy (and super-Halloween), like last year's movie characters Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett.

If the weather gets nippy, bring a coordinating jacket, cape, or wrap and make it a part of your costume. Make sure you check out the conditions of your outing. If you are going to be covering and the weather will be warm, forego the vinyl Catsuit so you don't feel as catty as you look.

Mexican Fancy Dress For Women - 3 Costume Ideas For All You Budding Senoritas Out There

Depending on the type of character you wish to portray at the Party, there are all different types of ladies Mexican fancy Dress costumes to choose from. Below are my personal favourite costume ideas for all you budding senoritas out there.

Idea 1: excellent Mexican outfit

The excellent Mexican outfit for ladies regularly consists of a suede crop top and skirt, a neck bandana and of policy a big sombrero. Depending on how authentic you wish your outfit to be, you may want to reconsider purchasing some brown Western boots, which indeed will add that itsybitsy extra something to your costume.

If you decree that you want to play at being a female Mexican bandit, then you will also need to get some extra accessories to help transform your costume. I recomMend getting both a pAir of holstered toy guns and a fake bullet belt, to be worn over the shoulder.

Idea 2: Novelty sexy shooter

If you are looking more for a fun type of outfit rather than a realistic looking one, then a great novelty take on Mexican fancy Dress for woMen has got to be the sexy shooter type of costume. These tequila girl costumes regularly consist of a mini Dress, sometimes in the Mexican colours, and a belt with a bottle holder and some glass holder loops with shot glasses in them.

A woman in a mini dress with booze is all the time going to go down well at any Party, but make sure you have a sombrero and Wild West style boots to help faultless the look.

Idea 3: Sultry senorita costume

Perhaps, instead of a novelty outfit, you would prefer to go to the Party in a more sophisticated looking costume. The sultry senorita look regularly consists of a halter lace dress with a lace shawl and is far more convenient for the mature ladies surrounded by you, who may wish to appear more elegant than downright sexy.

This is my personal favourite type of Mexican fancy dress for woMen. Remember that there are some great itsybitsy finishing touches that you can add to faultless this outfit, including large black false eyelashes and a black lace fan, to cool you down at the party.
