    Camo paint. Red Rambo bandana round your head. Green/camo vest top. Fake ammo round your neck. Boots. etc.

    But I'm also a fan of this:

    with all due respect.... what exactly do u need help with?

    i think army get up is fairly straight forward

    (i dont mean that to be as harsh as it sounds :( )



    if u have the pants, just get a green/brown or camo vest top

    bit of face paint

    bobs ya uncle!

    done :)

    have a great time!x

    Aw come on, it'd suit you.

    As for accessories, if you can be arsed, you can get badges to sew on and stuff. Like those ^ shaped things on the sleeves or stars on the top.

    I think that would look quite good on you, actually. And if you were feeling *really* self-conscious, you could always wear your trousers over the top, and your strappy top underneath. Or something.

    I had a party a while ago and a couple of people dressed up in that style it looked pretty good ..

    So you could wear green hot pants or something? And maybe an army shirt you could probably get one from a kids shop or maybe a green shirt (also from the school section in a store) urrm you could cut it up a bit make it look more 'armyish' .. If you have some face paint you could do the green and brown stripy things ..

    hope i helped a bit

    There are some army shorts in Primark at the moment if that helps you.

    Thanks folks. Haha I really do not have the figure for that army short combo and hotpants kinda scare me. I have a green strap top that I dont mind messing up. Should I write anything on it or rough it up?

    Have some dark green linen trousers..are they linen? Hmm anyway they're lightweight. Will probably wear strappy sandels cuz I'm so fed up of boots it's untrue.

    edit: Stace no way man :p

    edit edit: badges are cool! if only i stayed in brownies long enough :( will ask around

    If you dont mind messing your top up, rub some make up on it to make it look dirty (brown eyeshadow, bronzer etc) or mud if you want to be authentic!!
    I did army for a hen night, and either knee boots or little kitten heels is the way forward in my opinion.
    Have you got any dog tags?
    Water pistols would be good fun as well.

    Ooh the eyeshadow is a good idea because all of my eyeshadows are greens and browns and blacks anyway. Going to borrow dog tag off my brother hopefully
