A cheap option would be to go as a cowgirl - all you need is a denim skirt (charity shop if you dont have one) cut it off ..not too short...pop some fringing on the bottom. Find a top and sew the same fringing on the bottm of that. Cowboy hats are often in the pound shop...along with sheriff badges etc! Yeeehaaa!

whats your personality type? Do you want to be sexy,sweet or funny?

Get a cheap jacket from the charity shop. Stick on lumps of cheese, some cheese biscuits, some ham, blah blah blah. Get a sharpened piece of wood, and when someone asks, you are..... Buffet the Vampire Slayer. Boom tish.

I dont think the one where you turn up in your pants would be appropiate...

i think ill give the lumps of cheese one a miss it will all start melting when im out but then i could pretend to be a cheese toastie !!

the cow girl one sounds good,

I was just thinking i could be a Thief with a Black and white stripey top a mask and a swag bag does anyone know where there are any black and white stripey tops out at the moment

probably a funny or sweet costume, im getting me thinking cap on

I got dressed up a few months ago for my hen night - Claires accessories do a pack that had a black/silver handband in that was cats ears, a pin on tail and a bow tie type thing (I wore a fancy black top, black miniskirt and knee high boots with it). It doesn't sound much but at least I didn't look over the top and I got a few nice comments!

how about a pirate outfit. Have you any long boots to start you off?

burglar sounds good try new look for a cheap stripey top.

Night & Day is an easy costume. Wear tee shirt & trousers/shorts fold PJs or nightie in half and wear on one side. Rollers in your hair on the night side and carry teddy bear and wear a slipper, normal hairstyle, sandal on the day side.

Hope you have a good time at the party.

how about black trusers and a blue shirt borrow somes black braces and get a toy truncheon, gun and badge from the pound shop and presto -youre a cop!!

For the robber outfit why dont you buy a cheap white t shirt and draw black stripes on it with a black permanent marker pen. I think it would be a lot cheaper and less hassle than trying to find a stripey t shirt.
What about a saint trinions type school girl outfit. white blouse, school tie, black skirt and if you have long hair you could do plats.
