Fancy dress party New Year's Eve!

sotiredfornow · 01/12/2013 14:31

Believe it or not I haven't done fancy dress since I was a teen. I now have a fancy dress party to go to and haven't got a clue where to start. I don't want to look silly, I still want to look attractive (in no way slutty!!), any ideas? Have any of you had success with a particular outfit?

I'm slim & petite if that matters. No bare legs though - too cold and too pale!

Thank you!

You might have to narrow it down a bit...

Emmeline Pankhurst?

Jimmy Savile?

Elizabeth Taylor?

Mary Queen of Scots?

Is there a theme?
Are you going as part of a couple or group ? Is it a couples theme costume?

Is there anything you really, really wouldn't dress as?

Dp and I were the Blues Brothers for our last one - I had a white lace shirt, black blazer, black skinnies, and huge heels plus a trilby and sunglasses. It felt good - comfortable but a bit 'dressy' too.

God, I loathe fancy dress.

Wtf jimmy saville Shock

I'm going a 70's fancy dress party and I'm wearing a sequin mini dress and platform ankle boots with black tights, so I will still look 70's but not wearing an actual costume.

How about the snow queen? Satin dress and lots of sparkle

Theres is no theme.

DH and I will be going together but we don't need to have couples outfits.

Cointreau - me too!

Overwhelmed by choice when I go on fancy dress web sites. Keep the ideas coming!

No theme?
That's a bit rubbish.

Slash and Axl from Guns n Roses a la Cindy Crawford and her bloke?

Give us some more to go on - about you - age, body shape, interest... and the party - indoors - someone's house, club, 20 bar pub crawl????
Honestly I would adapt something as Remus did for the Blues Brothers rather than rent or go to a web site.

Do you have suits from job interviews? With a home made FBI badge and water pistols you could be murder and scully for the x files or a tv cop pairs.
