Is there anything on the high street at the mo that might be suitable? I don't want to get a proper fancy dress costume, I just want a few ideas on how I could achieve the look with normalish clothes so I could wear them again maybe? Or if there was anyone around in those decades whoever I could easily dress up as? Thanks in advance I'm in the UK by the way. Do you know what I found? I went to an 80's party recently. You're going to have a lot of fun . Get a lot of make up and jewelry, neon and bright colors are the best. Also, the bigger your hair the better. Tease your hair using a comb and a heavy hairspray. Also lots of bright clothes work, look up pictures and be creative. Leggings, ripped jeans, big sweatshirts off of one scholder. . Etc.

1) A present/gift 2) A Christmas Cracker 3) A Christmas wreath I woud preferably often make them using materials such as cardboard etc rather than having to go out and buy lots of material/costumes. Thanks. If you have any other Christmas themed fancy dress costumes that can be easily made, please tell me. Also, I don't want to dress up as some slutty elf, Mrs Claus etc. P. S It's for school and we've got to wear it all day. I don't want to look a prat. XD. Well, I have your answer right here. The present idea. Is good. easily done but not wearable for all day. This is an idea. . Get a nice white dress. Or white shirt and white skirt. . And put over yourself a cardboard cut out of a star. This doesn't have to be that big of a star. . And if you affix straps to your shoulders. And have the star on the back and the front. . It should be comfortable to wear. Put glitter all over it with glue. . Or just make it out of aluminum foil. . With glitter thrown on for good measure. You can go nuts with the glitter. . And put it everywhere. . And even line some of your white dress with some gllitter glue. You can even paint some nice stars here and there. So you will be the Christmas Star. That bright star that shone through the heavens and made such an impact on the whole world. If you can't find a white dress. . You can get some white sheets from a thrift store and make a very nice loose fitting tunic. Good luck and Happy Holidays.
