70's Costumes - Theme Idea

1970s Clothing and Fashion Style

70s Costumes - 70s DressThe 70s was a free thinking era where people wore really bright clothes, the louder the better. It was a time of big hairdo's, bell bottom pants and platform shoes. The music was fantastic, the discos for dancing and peace and love were all around.

Women loved wearing eyeshadow and eyeliner. Lots of shimmer! Blue, green, brown, the eyeshadows were all about the shimmery effect, smudging eyeliner for a smoky look.

The 70s fashion was in a style all of its own and is still loved today, so much so that people visit fancy dress costume shops to buy 70's costumes as an addition to there wardrobe, not only for fancy dress events.

We had music from the Beatles and the Bay City Rollers. Folk music from Bob Dylan, country from Linda Rhonstadt and The Doobie Brothers.

Gangster Costumes and the Flapper Dress

Flapper Dress - 1920's FashionHaving a gangster party or a 1920's Gatsby fancy dress party is a sensational idea.

It allows for dressing up in some really sexy gangster costumes or for you to wear a beautiful fringe flapper dress, accessorised of course with lots of beads, a feather headpiece and some gorgeous costume jewelry.

Gangster costumes can be sexy or classic. There are any number of mens gangster costumes, or womens gangster costumes to choose from.

Watch some old movies so that you can get the swagger, the mannersims down pat, and some of the great catch phrases used at that time.

Pirate Costumes

Swashbuckler or Pirate Wench

Pirate CostumesPirate theme parties are an awesome choice. Who doesn't look good in a pirate costume. Whether its a child or an adult, pirate costumes are the fancy dress costume that everyone can wear.

When planning your pirate party, have invitations that have 'walk the plank' or 'Ah hah me hearties' included on the invitation. Decorate your party space with all things pirate. Have a treasure chest, have a skeleton dressed up as a pirate and make the rest of the room look like a ship.

Serve pirate food like meat, fruit and finger food. Have beer and rum to get into the swing of it.
