Fancy Dress Ideas - Top Costumes

Are you trying to come up with some good fancy dress ideas? Maybe you are going to a fancy dress party and need a costume or maybe you are going to hold a fancy dress party and want to set a theme? Many of the best themes and costumes are based on movies, cartoons and fairy tales, so you can let your imagination run wild.

Some really popular themes include Disney films and cartoons, as so many have been made over several decades. This means there are just loads of Disney fancy dress costumes to choose from, for both kids and adults.

Some popular Disney moviess and cartoons include Shrek, Buzz Lightyear, Peter Pan, and The Wizard of Oz, but there are really too many to mention. Think of your favourite Disney character, either classic or recent, and you can probably get a costume for it.

Due to the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean film trilogy pirate costumes are very popular. You can get pirate costumes for girls and boys in all sorts of different styles, as well as specific character costumes, such as Captain Jack Sparrow. Pirate costumes are also quite easy to make with a few accessories to help, such as an eye patch, a bandana or a pirate hat.

Another top fancy dress idea is a Moulin Rouge costume, these were made popular by the movie of the same name, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. You can make Moulin Rouge costumes cheeky and fun, and you can get some fabulous ready-to-wear costumes. Think of showgirls and the can-can, with lots of feathers and fishnets, and you'll have an idea of a Moulin Rouge costume.

Other themes based on films include the all-time favourite, The Wizard of Oz, and there are lots of famous characters to base a costume on. Dorothy is the most obvious Wizard of Oz character and the easiest costume but there are also costumes available for the other characters, the wizard, the Tin Man, the Lion, the Scarecrow, the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch. This is a superb theme as the costumes available are loads of fun and very recognisable to everyone.

Another popular movie theme is Star Wars. You can get Star Wars costumes for pretty much every character from every movie, which means there is lots of choice to create a varied and fun costume party. From classic characters like Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia costumes to more recent film characters such as the fabulous Darth Maul. Another extremely popular Star Wars costume for women is the white Padme Amidala outfit.

Another fantastic theme for top costumes is Super heroes, from films or the original comic books. This is a popular theme for both adults and children, as again there are loads of different super hero fancy dress costumes available and everyone has a favourite. Some examples are Spiderman, Batman, Mr Incredible, Iron Man, The Thing, and Wonder Woman.

The number of fancy dress ideas stemming from movies, cartoons or story books is so large that there are hundreds of costumes, so a good place to start is to think of your favourite character and base your fancy dress costume on that. If you choose a costume you like you'll love wearing it and have lots of fun.
