Costumes Beginning with A

Have you ever been to an alphabet party? When I was in my early 20s they were all the rage, somehow everytime I was invited to one it was always a P party which meant dressing up as something beginning with the letter P. You can choose any letter of the alphabet however and today I've chosen the letter A.

Fancy dress parties or costume parties are so much more fun when they're themed, but you don't always want to have an 80s party, Hannah Montana dress up event or even a Star Wars themed party. Choosing a letter to base your party around is fun because seeing how people interpret it can be really interesting.....some people really know how to think outside of the box.

What Costumes Begin with A?

With the letter A in mind how many costume ideas can you come up with? Well we're here to help you out with a few of our ideas so sit back and enjoy, these costumes are only a mouse click away :)

Angels are a nice easy costume to wear, a flowing white dress and a halo and you're a classic angel! You can purchase your own angel costume here or you can fashion florist wire or a coat hanger into a halo and wrap tinsel or white fur around it.

Which 'A' Costume Would You Wear?

I'm pretty torn as there's so many to choose from, but an apple would hide a few unwanted curves!!!

    The best thing about the abominable snowman costume is that you can very easily turn it into a Wompa costume if you were so inclined.
