Imagine being a Roman gladiator fighting in the Colosseum before a crowd of thousands or even Julius Caesar in all his majesty!
Roman costumes can be amazingly effective, using the simplest accessories. Fake blood is essential to bring the gladiator to life, so don’t stint on it and spread it over arms and legs with effective splashes on the face. Rub some sandy coloured face paint on and an arena appearance has been created. Be sure to hold a net and a trident as weapons and these finishing touches will really make you look the part.
Roman costumes aren’t simply for the boys either. Girls look lovely as Roman goddesses, draped in flowing robes and with beautifully styled hair. Carrying an ornate jug or platter adorned with grapes makes for elegance

Before you indulge in 1920s fancy dress it is important to remember that it was a dramatic transition in the fashion world, particularly in women's clothing. Ladies of the era shucked off the more restrictive corsets and floor length skirts of the previous century and began to embrace looser-fitting clothing with dropped waits lines and shorter hemlines.
When you think of the 1920s these days the outfit which immediately springs to mind is the sexy, stream-lined 'flapper' dress, which came to prominence during that decade and was the staple evening wear for women attending parties and other society events.

Famous cowgirl fancy dress idols
Famous cowgirls such as Dale Evans, Sacagewea, Annie Oakley, Velma Bronn Johnston and Sandra Day O'Connor epitomise the true spirit of the cowgirl: pioneering, courageous, independent, tenacious and not afraid to speak out against injustice.
