Sinister or Silly - Ladies Fancy Dress Has Never Been Sexier

It is generally well accepted that when it comes to appearance for a night out, be it fancy dress or not, the female gender reign supreme in both the amount of time and effort they put into preparation. I hasten to add that this is not necessarily because they need the additional time to look good, however it is a well recognised cliché that whilst the girls are slaving over their hair, makeup, accessories and various other feminine rituals, the boys are downstairs slaving equally as hard over both an X-Box and a beer.

When comparing, there are vast differences between the styles of men’s and ladies fancy dress costumes. Whereas a man wouldn’t bat an eyelid about turning up to a party dressed like a giant baby or a Pickled Gherkin, female costumes concentrate far more on being sexy, because let’s face it, if you’re going dancing, even in fancy dress, then you have to look good. So whilst the men are playing on their X-Box and then spending 5 minutes to throw on a third-hand costume they borrowed from a friend that never was going to fit them, even before the beer bloat, the girls are able to accessorise, stylise and just generally make their fancy dress look absolutely amazing, because at the end of the day that is what the party is supposed to be all about, isn’t it?

Naturally when someone mentions women’s costumes, a lot of minds will jump to the stereotypical ladies fancy dress ideas such as the classic sexy nurse outfit or French maid costumes. These costumes may have firm places in the fancy dress halls of fame. However, they are only a teeny tiny fraction of what is, in fact, out there. On the internet you can find thousands of outfits to choose from, whether you want to be silly or sexy (or both), a pirate or a bumble bee! Long gone are the days where going out in fancy dress meant an ill fitting, baggy outfit that kind of itches everytime you sit down! With the options available you have a whole host of sexy and seductive costumes to choose from that will have the boys falling to their knees. 

Now let’s face it, a full fancy dress outfit doesn’t finish at the dress. Accessorising is the key, so when getting a costume make sure there’s a huge range of bags, shoes, necklaces, wigs, jewellery or pretty much anything else you can think of to choose between.

When it comes to female fancy dress there really are very few limitations. A lot of girls think that it’s impossible to show off when going to a fancy dress party. However they couldn’t be more wrong! With what is on offer there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t look absolutely fantastic, dressed to stun and amaze any man who sets eyes on you. At the end of the day it’s a fantastic way to push the limits of expressing and stylising yourself far beyond what you’d normally do on a Friday or Saturday night out.
