Ways to Design Fancy Dress Costumes

You have to go to a fancy dress costume party and you're unsure how to put together an appropriate outfit that looks good and fits with the party. Never fear, help is here.

1Decide what style of the party. If the party has a theme, or color restrictions, this will limit your choices. Creating your outfit is comparable to developing a character for a play or novel.

2Think about what your character would wear Get a picture of it in your mind.

3Write down a list of pieces for the costume that you will need, based on the picture in your mind. If your picture is fuzzy use a search engine's image section to help.

4Make your way to the shops. If you’re buying Cosplay Costumes this means finding the pieces and purchasing them. If you’re making your costume pick a pattern and fabric. Then get sewing.

5Design your makeup, if you’re wearing any. It should match the outfit's style without looking like a circus clown.
