dressing up!

edited January 2023 in General Chat
it's my 21st in may and am having 2 nights out: 1 where i'm at uni with my mates (where we're dressing up) and then another out somewhere else with my closer friends where we'll be dressing normally. :p

thing is i can't decide what we can all go as. we went out as chavs a few weeks back for my friends 21st so not doing that again. other ideas i have are school girls, builders, cowgirls, in pyjamas (love this idea though not sure about dancing in my slippers!), fairies, tarts and everyone wearing the same colour e.g. pink.

does any one have any other ideas? don't want to have to get everyone to fork out a lot of money or wreck any of their other clothes...any ideas appreciated!

:D

    but i'm a girl, it wouldn't be so funny.

    did you go topless?

    dunno what i'd wear on my top half, a bikini top or a vest top i guess?

    we had a combo of topless, hawaiin shirts, coconut bra's all sorts. think there were about 12 people did it, it was a quality night.

    you could wear any bright coloured top really.

    we had to wear shorts under our skirts too, didnt want to be exposing ourselves and getting in trouble.


    trying to think of other stuff, pirates is pretty cool. we did superhero's, film stars etc...but we usually rented those costumes which isnt very cost effective.

    yeh pirates is a good idea.

    we did think of superheroes and i wanted to go as catwoman or jack-jack from the incredibles (not sure how i'd do this one..!) but wanted to see any other ideas people have.

    liking the hula one! guess we should be able to find the stuff in a fancy dress shop.

    we bought ours from like a joke shop type place, they sell all sorts of dressing up stuff, generally pretty cheap as well.

    if you do it, we demand pictures ;D

    only if you come up with the winning idea!

    and i guess that's only if it's a bunch of girls wearing hula skirts and coconuts?

    You should go on my superhero thread!!!

    The PJ's one sounds cute.

    Superhero is good and schoolgirls is great.

    Coppers is popular?

    Could go really elegant like, evening dresses or something?

    Animals?

    don't think i'd want to do police, the girls who i've seen do it tend to look a bit tarty.

    and i'm not forking out on an evening dress for it to get all tattered from my alcohol-fuelled festivities. :p

    animals is a good idea! would have to do facepaints though and they'd get all smudged.

    How bout the greek goddess type thing? all you have to do is wrap sheets around you, thats really cheap and not to comman either.

    ETA i think Toga might be the word im looking for, even though i think thats roman.

    Burlesque girls is an idea I really love, but have never seen done well. It could be fab, though.. Chimney sweeps? Witches? Cheerleaders?

    It's my mate's 21st this month and he wants us all [male and female] out as builders - high visibility jackets, hard hats, bum cracks showing...the works - wahey.

    My fave idea is gangsters/mafioso, though, and if I'm home for my 21st I may well go with that - though we might have to forget about the guns, if we want to get in anywhere. :chin:
