Theme Me: Costume, Fancy Dress & Theme Inspiration

Black and Blue or White and Gold Dress Costume

It was the viral phenomena that took the world by storm and turned mother against child, friend against friend, and graphic designer against scientist. ALL THE WAY back in February we looked at our computer screens and asked ourselves the very important question: is this dress black and blue or gold and white? (Clearly it…

Shame Lady from Game of Thrones Costume

If you’re a fan on Game of Thrones then you most definitely remember the moment in the last season where that bitch Cersei Lannister finally got what was coming to her. Of course I’m talking about the scene where she is forced to walk naked through the streets of Kings Landing while the masses shout…

Dr Zoidberg from Futurama Costume

One week left! On ebay I found this face mask that was so perfect for a Dr Zoidberg Costume that I couldn’t help but buy it and go on the hunt to find the rest of the outfit. Eventually I was able to source the white lab coat from my partners school and the scrubs…

Ewok, from Star Wars, Costume

This week the final trailer for the new Star Wars film came out and the internet went wild. I thought then that it might be prudent that I take on another star wars costume for the blog (I’ve previously done Princess Leia and Hans Solo In Carbonite) so I went with the cutest characters created…

Zordon from The Power Rangers Costume

If you were a child of the 90’s like me, then there is a 90% chance that you also LOVED The Power Rangers. A couple of months back a friend asked if I could do a Power Rangers theme, so thought it would be perfect to have it as one of my Halloween month costumes….

Alan with Baby from The Hangover Costume

In preparation for my Halloween Party this year I had to help devise a costume for my partner, Frosted Tips. The only problem, he has a beard. While this is not entirely a problem, it does narrow down how authentic your costume can be, unless you chose to dress up as something with a beard….

Marty McFly, Back to the Future, Costume

In the film, Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly traveled 30 years forward in time, from 1985 to 2015 on the date October 21, which is today! So I could not pass up the opportunity to do a Back to the Future theme, with this Marty McFly costume. Photo credit: Frosted Tips Denim…

Baby Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy Costume

If you saw Guardians of the Galaxy last year then there is about a 90% chance that you fell in love with Groot. And if you loved Groot then there is a 110% chance that you fell in love with Baby Groot dancing at the end. To create this costume, all you need to do…

Judice from SNL Costume

If you are not familiar with Judice from SNL, then you need to watch this skit with Kristen Wiig RIGHT NOW. It’s hilarious, it’s creepy, it’s all those things you love about Kristen Wiig characters from Saturday Night Live. So if you can get your hands on some small doll hands, and a long-sleeve old-timey…

Conchita Wurst Costume

If you are not a fan of Eurovision, then this costume may be very confusing to you. In 2014 Wurst came to fame for winning the Eurovision Song Contest as Austria’s entrant with the song “Rise Like a Phoenix”. Conchita Wurst is an Austrian pop recording artist and drag queen portrayed by Thomas “Tom” Neuwirth. So if…
