Even with the huge choice in adult fancy dress costumes, you may feel it’s an impossible task to find the perfect outfit.
To make it simpler, narrow it down to a couple of categories before you begin looking, start with 80s and if you don’t find anything that tickles your fancy there, move on to the 70s. The 80s brought us power suits for women and Michael Jackson suits for men. Madonna wore some unforgettable costumes, which have been made into some sexy fancy dress costumes.
Madonna Material girl is a costume that can be made up from new clothing or fancy dress clothes. It’s a popular outfit and you may find there are more than a couple of Madonnas at a seventies party, but with so many Madonna costumes it is unlikely you’ll be wearing the same outfits.
Ghostbusters was one of the 80s greats. This comedy film has everything going for it, and the Ghostbusters Adult Fancy Dress is a classic version. A brown jumpsuit with an inflatable backpack will give you the look you are after. There’s even a sexy version for the ladies, which includes a short jumpsuit. The Mallow man costume includes a foam top with padded trousers, and the mask is finished off with a sailor’s hat and neck tie. The Ghostbusters theme is ideal as a group Adult Fancy Dress or, with a couple of children’s Ghostbuster costumes, can be used as a family group costume.
Dallas and Dynasty fans will love 80s Soap Star costumes. They are available in adult’s fancy dress sizes from small to plus size. With huge shoulder pads and tight pencil skirts, it was all about creating a power look, the bigger the better. Women were very competitive in the boardroom, and the larger their presence the better. You can get Sue Ellen and Pamela Barnes Ewing style 80s wigs to complete your costume.
An economical way of creating the power suit look is to buy a cheap blouse two sizes larger than normal and sew in a couple of large shoulder pads. Wear a pencil skirt and nip in the waist with a belt. Top it off with some 80s jewellery and accessories.
Michael Jackson is a popular outfit for the guys, and there’s also a Ladies Michael Jackson costume. The red leather trousers and jacket are unmistakable and you’ll be recognised immediately. Matching his and hers Michael Jackson costumes are perfect for couples. A child’s version is available, so it is possible to dress as a Michael Jackson family group.
If you want to embrace 80s hair styles, there are plenty of wigs to choose from, with a choice of long, straight, short and curly.
The standard of adult fancy dress clothes improves every year. There are budget range costumes going right through to rental quality outfits. 80s costumes are bold, bright and fun. With a range of Madonna, Michael Jackson and 80s film and TV costumes, you will have no trouble deciding what to wear.
