Gangster fancy dress ideas??

BezzyK

Hi all

Been lurking for a while and love reading through all the threads. Now I hope one of you lovely ladies (oh and of course men) can help me?

I'm going out for a friends birthday next week and the theme is gangster! I have no idea what I can wear for this, I've had a look on Ebay and all the ladies outfits are very revealing and quite expensive considering I'll prob never wear it again.

I'm 23 so dont mind flashing a bit of flesh, just not too much!

All suggestions welcome

Thanks

My sister went as a gangsters moll a couple of years back, she had a black skirt on, tights or stockings, white shirt with either braces or a tie (can't remember exactly) and a hat.
i think she had most of the clothes anyway except the braces and hat so worked out pretty cheap.

have fun

Pinstripe trousers and a pinstripe waistcoat, no shirt Bit of cleavage and a toy gun, he he.

Wouldn't advise taking the toy gun, might cause a bit of a problem carrying that around outside.;)

Depends on whether it's 1920s gangster or 1970s gangster or 2000s gangsta...

1920s - pinstripe suits, braces, shiny brogues, fedora for men/androgynous look. Shift dresses, pin curls, big smokey eyes with falsh lashes, red lippie for girly look.

1970s - pimp it with bright colours and boas (Huggy Bear comes to mind) for both men and women.

2000s - Snoop Dog, loads of gold, baggy trousers, etc, etc
