Costume parties are a great opportunity for us to dress up and become someone else for an evening. Selecting a costume that will feature your new persona can take a little bit of thought in an effort to discover what will work best for you. It may be fun to become someone or something different for the night, what about a flapper gal, a nun or even a belly dance costume for the evening?
Flapper Gal, Nun And Belly Dance Costumes
With these selections, a simple costume can be created. First, it may be a good idea to check out the local hobby or craft store. Finding some patterns for costumes can give the consumer a better idea of what might be needed for the costume. If sewing is something that you can do, you will have everything you need to create the perfect flapper gal, nun or belly dance costume.
The flapper gal is of course the roaring twenties girl. Usually, the costume for the flapper gal is a short and straight dress that is not too tight. Long beaded necklaces are generally added as an accessory to give the costume more flair. Place a narrow headband around the head and don't forget to add some long gloves. The flapper gal costume is fairly easy to make and can be quickly put together.
The belly dance costume, may involve a little more creativity. Finding a pattern to follow is probably the best choice. The top of a belly dance costume is like a bra. This needs to be decorated, possibly with sequins. A small vest is an option that can be worn over the bra if you want to tone your costume down a little bit. The skirt needs to be below the belly button and there should be several layers of thin and sheer skirts in order for the skirt to be flowing. Like the flapper gal costume, the belly dance costume can be accessorized with a headband across the forehead and a scarf is usually worn to cover the lower part of the face.
The nun costume may possibly be the easiest to put together of those mentioned. A one piece tunic is needed, and it should be made of a black material. Black material with white across the front is used for the head covering. Make sure that the head covering is large enough to cover all of the hair. Again, a store that carries patterns will have a picture of this simple costume to give a demonstration of the look that needs to be achieved.
Making your own costume for a party can really showcase your own personality. The flapper gal, belly dance and the nun costumes are all fun to wear and fairly simple to re-create. The costumes themselves are usually very comfortable and can be saved and worn again.
