HISTORICAL FANCY DRESS IDEAS

Have you got a big fancy dress party coming up?

If so the theme might be historic figures.

In this presentation, I’ll be taking a look at some of the

best historic figures you can dress up as.

#1 – MARILYN MONROE

She is an icon to millions and remembered for her

fashion and personality.

#1 – MARILYN MONROE

Everyone remembers the scene from The Seven Year

Itch and for that reason, the white dress has become

one of the most popular dressing up outfits or all time.

#2 A KNIGHT

Dressing up as a knight is a great idea for a

medieval themed party.

#2 A KNIGHT

You can buy the accessories and outfits from

most fancy dress stores, online and high street.

#3 MOULIN ROUGE DANCER

Since the film Moulin Rouge came out, there’s been a

huge craze for the style of clothes when it comes to

dressing up parties.

#3 MOULIN ROUGE DANCER

Do you see yourself as Nicole Kidman?

#4 HENRY VIII

If you fancy yourself as a king then why not go as

Henry VIII?

#4 HENRY VIII

The Tudor king was known for his lavish dress

sense and beheading anybody that got on his

wrong side.

#5 WW2 FEMALE OFFICER

Those dark green jackets and pencil skirts look

brilliant on women of all sizes.

#5 WW2 FEMALE OFFICER

Why don’t you dress up in this costume, take the

mic and treat us to a bit of Vera Lynn?

#6 70’S MAN

It’s time to dig out the flares and platforms men! Just try

not to make anybody too dizzy with your shirt okay?

#7 60’S DANCER

Big hoop earrings, tight pencil dresses and boots that

come up to the knee.

People used to actually go out like this? If this is the

style that tickles your pickle, you can find these outfits in

most stores.

#8 ROBIN HOOD

There’s lots of rumours and speculation about the truth

in the stories about Robin Hood. Fancy dress wise, it’s

one of the best male costumes.

#8 ROBIN HOOD

If you don’t mind wearing tights of course.

#9 CLEOPATRA

Can you walk like an Egyptian?

#9 CLEOPATRA

Heavily made up eyes, lots of gold paint and bangles

are just some of the things you’ll need to pull this off.

#10 GLADIATOR

This is a great costume idea if you’re going to a film

themed party or just a fancy dress party in general. Just

don’t forgot to buy some sandals to match the outfit.

#10 GLADIATOR

Shields, swords and trainers just don’t go.

#11 CAVEWOMAN

All you need to pull this outfit off is a dress that looks like

it’s made out of tiger skin or fur (fake of course).

#11 CAVEWOMAN

You’ll also need a club of some sort. Plastic or inflatable

will do the trick.

#12 TOGA MAN

If you’re going to a college party or Greek themed event

the chances are there will be some people dressed up in

Togas.

#12 TOGA MAN

This is probably one of the cheapest costumes about as

all you need is an old white bedsheet.

From Gladiators to Robin Hood fancy dress, who

do you think your historical icon to dress up as

would be?
