Theme Me: Costume, Fancy Dress & Theme Inspiration

Cruella Garbage Truck Dress Costume

So it’s been about 4 million years since I posted a costume, but what better way to come back than with this one. What could be more representative of the dumpster fire of the last two years of Covid and lockdown more than this? So I present to you, the Cruella Devil garbage dress costume….

Buffy Hush Gentlemen Costume

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! As you know Buffy is one of my favourite shows of all time, so I kept this costume for the last costume of my October costume challenge. So today I thought I’d create a costume from one of my favourite, and I believe the scariest, episode: Hush. The Gentlemen from Hush are some…

Babadook Monster Costume

The Babadook is a great Australian horror film with a creepy AF monster, The Babadook, which I have created for today’s costume.

Lady Gaga Applause Costume

I’ve done A LOT of Lady Gaga costumes, and there’s a reason for that…they’re awesome. Today I take on the cover of Lady Gaga’s Applause cover. All this takes is some face paint and a white sheet, and voila! Photo credit: Frosted Tips Black Top: Uniqlo Black Leggings: Uniqlo White Sheet: Brotherhood of St Lawrence…

Immortan Joe from Mad Max: Fury Road Costume

Immortan Joe was a great villain from Mad Max: Fury Road. His costume was amazing and he was creepy AF. What a better character to re-create for Halloween than that?

Luke Danes from Gilmore Girls Costume

I, like many others this year, were over the moon when Netflix released a new Gilmore Girls series. Thinking of who I could create a costume of, I figured that Luke would be the most obvious. While his look is very standard, it’s almost a uniform and quite recognisable. Photo credit: Frosted Tips Black Baseball…

Handmaid’s Tale Costume

My prediction for the ‘it’ costume this year is The Handmaid’s Tale costume. The show was a MASSIVE hit this year so you’re bound to see this costume at every Halloween party you go to this year. Plus, all you need is a red cape and white hat, so it’s an easy one to put…

Maria from the Sound of Music Costume

How do you solve a problem like Maria? You can’t she’s the worst. The Sound of Music is one of my favourite films of all time, so I’m happy that I’ve finally been able to honour it with a costume. Photo credit: Frosted Tips Blonde Short Wig: Ebay Black Long sleeve Top: Uniqlo Black and…

Rick from Rick and Morty Costume

Today I created a Rick from Rick and Morty costume because creating a McDonalds Schezwan sauce costume would be too hard 😛 Photo credit: Frosted Tips Blue Wig and Eyebrows: Homemade from cardboard and crepe paper White Scientist Lab Coat: Scientist Lab Coat Borrowed from I’m a Scientist Blue T-shirt: Industrie Brown Chinos: Uniqlo Belt…

Breakfast at Tiffany’s Tuxedo Shirt Costume

I was a HUGE fan of the mini-series Secrets and Lies, and while I couldn’t create a costume based on one of the characters, I could create one of the costumes seen in the series. Reese Witherspoon’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s tuxedo shirt costume was my inspiration for today’s costume and I hope you enjoy it….
