Opening Times

So, you've been invited to an American themed fancy dress party, where do you look for inspiration? There are so many iconic people, costumes and symbolism linked to the United States that it could be hard to choose just one, but here are just a few ideas for some American costumes, for men, women, girls or boys to get your creativity flowing.

If you've decided to go for a whole costume then a good choice for a male could be the spaghetti western look with a Western Wandering Gunman Fancy Dress Costume, or maybe more of the gunslinger style costume. Cowgirls are always popular, but a ladies moccasins fancy dress accessory would complete any squaw's ensemble. If it's a childs American costume you need then how about an astronaut fancy dress costume for your Apollo astronaut? Girls would be a sure hit sporting Disney's image of Alice in Wonderland.

Of course if you have to consider travel to the party then you might prefer to use accessories for your American costume, rather than a full costume. A glamorous dress can become Marilyn Monroe with a wig, or a feather boa; a stove pipe hat with a black suit can help you pass for good old Abe; a red wig and dress can bring little orphan Annie to life and a mask and cape can create a Batman before your eyes. Whatever option you choose for your American fancy dress costumes do remember it's a party - and have fun!
