Fancy dress costumes

What fancy dress costumes have you worn in the past? What fun theme parties have you been to?

At an art school party I dressed up as Robin Hood with my sister's old green fringed suede jacket from the 70's and green tights (I made the hat!). One Christmas party myself and my ex went as Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I love doing fancy dress but I only seem to get chance to make costumes for the children these days. On book day we dressed Aaron up as Captain Underpants which was quite original!!

I hosted a "Murder Mystery" dinner once when I lived in Los Angeles. It was set in the 1920's and everyone, including me had a part to play, and we had to dress in 1920 costumes. It was fun!

I've been to events dressed as a gypsy, a witch, a goth, and medieval lady.  It's such fun to get dressed up!

My husband an I went to an New year's Party once dressed as the "Pink Pather" inspector and I was the suspected "blantant hussie"...he had on his detective outfit (London Fog rain coat) with an huge round magnifying glass and mustache and hat..I was wearing an blonde wig, short black mini skirt over net stockings and leather waist jacket "chomping" on bubble gum...I had an jacket pin that said, "Blantant Hussie" and an..I can't think of what they call them, brides wear them on their legs and toss them with their flowers ussually...anyway, I had one of those on my leg, and tucked in it an note that said. "big time secret". He would come up to me and "eye me over" with his magnify glass and "chomping on my gum", I'd raise my skirt a little so he could see the note...and he he'd say "Volia!" out loud and smile. We got the attention and then some, some guy wishpered in his ear and he laughed, and later I asked him what it was he said to him and he said.."He said he'd like to have an blantant hussie before the night was over!".... we laughed.

The last time I wore a costume was for a Halloween party and I went as Marge Simpson.
