Hi I hope someone can help me. I'm going to a movie-themed fancy dress party on Saturday, but due to my scattiness I still don't have a costume.
Does anyone have any ideas for a costume that I can do for under a tenner? Please?

What 'basics' have you already got?
Dark trouser suit = blues brother
Go in normal clothes & fake orgasm all night
Don't go and say you went as the Invisible Man

I am liking the last one Iklboo, parties scare me so I would love to be able to use that

Strap your vaccum cleaner on your back and go as Ghostbusters.

Or wear sunglasses and an overcoat - the Matrix.

fake orgasm made me laugh, love the ghostbusters idea too...but my vacuum cleaner's the wrong sort . My hair is dark so Audrey Hepbun might work, but I only have short black dresses. hmm

I reckon you could get away with a short black dress (as long ias it isn't a micromini!)

Well that might do then. Matrix is also an idea, although I'd probably bake keeping my long coat on all night .
My sister was going to send me an Alice in wonderland costume to save me some cash lol, but I think she forgot and a parcel won't get to me in time now.
Thank you for your help everyone

I had another thought - I am fabulous at lame fancy dress ideas as I always leave it to the last minute!

You could tie a frying pan around your neck and stick a name badge on that says "Peter" -Peter Pan.

Denim skirt, checked shirt and a lot of socks down your bra - Dolly Parton.

Good luck, so stressful trying to think up a costume!

Hehe thanks. I was going to go as Jessie from Toy Story, but decided to go for the easy option and do Hepburn. at peter pan.
