Help, I need to dress up as a book title

[Schulte]

Ok don’t laugh… I am going to a party and guests are required to dress up as a book title. I have absolutely no idea what to wear. Help???

Dress head to foot in Purple. The Colour Purple.

Make yourself a Gilead Uniform, Handmaid's Tale.

Go as something no one can figure out and understand, Oryx and Crake

Wear a football Kit, Man Utd T-Shirt, Coventry City shorts... Take of Two Cities.

Top hat and a coat too big for you, Artful Dodger, Oliver Twist.

DH just suggested Tequila Mockingbird

Yeah, hate fancy dress. So Woman in Black, Woman in White, The Color Purple, The Bluest Eye or even Goldfinger or White Fang seem good options. Or is there a book with your name (Rebecca, Shirley, Ruth, Emma, Matilda, Carrie, Esther etc)? Or Purple Hibiscus and just wear a flower behind your ear.

Where’s Wally. Stripy top. Jeans. Bobble hat. Glasses.

Black Beauty. Wear all black and look beautiful. Bonus if you actually are a black lady!

Pin a black heart to your outfit- Heart of Darkness. If your kids have a catchers mitt glue the number 22 to it. Or even the number 22 in a small kids fishing net.

Striped black and white top, swag bag with a few books in it, look shifty - The Book Thief

Tiger onesie, China cup.

🐯 The tiger who came to tea 🐯

And if you drink all Daddy's beer then it will be book accurate and nobody can say you're not showing commitment to the role!

Stick a pillow up your dress and go as 'Great Expectations'

Or wear everything back to front, wrong way round - All of a Twist!

Handmaids tale outfit, the great gatsby flapper look. Alice from Alice in wonderland.

The woman in white
the color purple

Very good!

No- you are an adult- just say no.

It is not World Book Day and you are not 7.

Love the Old man and the sea idea too… if I can work out how to dress as an old man!

I’d go as this.

Jumpsuit and a bow and arrow. Hunger games

Wizard cloak and wand. Harry Potter

Are there any book titles with walrus in them? I just liked the look of the walrus mask…

Dress in range and hang some clock cogs around your neck. A clockwork orange,

Grubby, torn old wedding dress- Miss Havisham from Great Expectations

Obviously that was meant to be orange not range!

If anyone asks what you've come as just stand up and say you're 'The Stand' by Stephen king

You could do a clockwork orange, with the eyeliner and bowler hat.

Or…even cheesier. Body glitter and go as a twilight vampire

You could go as Somerset Maugham’s ‘Of Human Bondage’. You can probably guess the outfit suggestion.
