Princess Costume

Ah, girls, only one of us can be the Queen and sorry, but that crown is firmly on top of my little, blonde head. However, I will allow all of you to have the title of Princess, so you can wear princess costumes and dream that you are somewhere near as adorable as me. (Best of luck on that, ladies!)

The princess costume that you choose can be a pre-made costume or one that you put together using found items. Either way, make sure that you use a color that complements your own coloring and matches. All accessories that you had or buy with the costume should be of the same color or you will be thrown off and not quite right. For the princess costume, the most important part and the starting point is the dress itself. Remember the dress that you have should be regal, attractive and fit correctly. The princess costume is one of the best for hiding figure flaws, especially if you opt for one with the false, nipped in waist that can help you fake an hourglass figure.

After you find the dress, you should start thinking about the accessories that you would like to add. If you try to use too many, you will come off looking tacky and garish rather than regal and royal. The right look is the one that creates a real princess look. For a dress that is sleeveless or halter top, you can add lacy or satiny elbow length gloves. Gloves will work with other types of sleeves, however if the sleeves are long, opt for gloves that stop at your wrist and then lay off some of the jewelry.

The second most important factor of your princess costume is the tiara or crown that you wear. If you do not want to spend a lot of money on a jeweler quality piece, look for one that is faux but fun, but do steer clear of the tasteless ones that just scream “toy”. Another option for a short term solution is to rent a tiara if you do not have a princess friend you could borrow one from.

Add a little glitter to your makeup as well as in your hair and you are set and ready to go. You are now ready to be the belle of the ball, the princess of the evening. Just remember to be careful how you address the Queen!

Star Wars Clone Trooper Costumes

Star Wars Clone Wars is not just a spinoff of the Star Wars movies, it is its own entity with more history given of the main characters. From toddler to adult, male or female, there are a number of costume choices that you can have your pick of- all of them with interesting accessories. Whether you want to be a good guy or a bad guy or someone who is not really all that decided one way or the other, you can have your pick with these Star Wars Clone Trooper Costumes.

Of course, one of the main groups to choose from with Star Wars Clone Wars characters are the clone trooper costumes. Two of these are the Blue Clone Rex and Clone Trooper Commander Cody costumes. Both feature the white top and bottoms with full white mask but each has their own color splashes to set them apart. The Blue Clone Rex of course has blue accents while Commander Cody’s uniform has splashes of deep yellow.

Ahsoka is a female Jedi and has several styles of costume to choose from. One of the best looking is the training uniform which features a burgundy and black tunic over fitted pants. (Burgundy leather boots look amazing with this costume.) Asaij Ventress, another option for women, is a Sith warrior and this may be one of the sexiest costumes from the Clone Wars collections. It features a long, black skirt, a blue sash and a black top with a cut out for just a little bit of cleavage. Blue sleevelets complete this look.

Obi Wan Kenobi and young Anakin Skywalker are both very popular choices for both children and adults and each features different styles to suit the event. Another choice is the fallen Jedi master, Plo Kloon with several choices for him as well.

In addition to children and adult sizes, there are several of the Star Wars Clone Wars costumes that are available in toddler sizes so your little one can be an adorable Anakin or a not so menacing trooper as well.

No matter which of the Star Wars Clone Wars costumes that you choose, make sure that you complete the look with a blaster or other accessories and may the Force be with you.

Adult Chewbacca Costume

Who is the most famous Wookie in the universe? Quick, can you really name another one? Of course, Chewbacca is the only Wookie that we know by name and actually the only Wookie that I have ever seen. (Please, if there are more, do not send me mail and show off your Wookie knowledge.) Chewbacca costumes are popular for a number of reasons, especially for the very tall guys who prefer not to talk a lot when at a party. They can actually stay in character and growl and howl their way through the evening.

The rule for Chewbacca costumes is simple: do not go cheap or you will come off looking like a stray dog hell bent on staying out of the pound on a rainy night. Here are some tips to knowing if you have bought a dog of a Wookie costume:

Zippers, Velcro or dear, God, buttons that are visible

Good Chewbacca costumes do not look like costumes. That means that it is not obvious that you put this on and that it comes off. It should look like your own furry flesh, after all. If you have gapping Velcro, popping buttons or a zipper that gleams from across the room, you have a real woofer of a Wookie suit. (You may also be more Jabba the Hut than Wookie if you popping buttons.)

Pink Flesh Peeping Out of the Middle

Even worse than the one piece Chewbacca costume with the noticeable zippers, etc., is the two piece deal that lifts up from time to time showing off the fact that it was

1) too hot to wear clothing underneath

2) that you need a tan and

3) that you need to hit a gym every now and again.

Wearing this type of costume might be better for those who tend to hit the beer a little hard, however it is not going to look great, or even good for that matter and would make even Luke Skywalker angry.

A tail

Okay, I have never seen a Wookie with a tail. If your Chewbacca costume has a tail attached to the seat, you my foolhardy friend have bought a dog suit. Slap on the floppy ears, paint your nose black and start woofing. You are not a Wookie, you are a woofie. Bark, bark. Down, boy.

Mermaid Costumes

In mythology, the beautiful mermaid was a half woman, half fish creature who lived under the sea. Depending on which version of the story you choose, the beautiful mermaid frolics with her sea creatures, saves drowning boys who fall from boats or sings to men who are drowning so that they go calmly to their watery deaths. They are mysterious, potentially dangerous and if truth be told, just a little wicked. All of this works toward making the mermaid a sexy costume option, no matter what your age group. For children, the option is pretty simple: they will wear the flame haired Ariel costume, one of the best of Disney’s creations. For woman, the choice and style of mermaid costumes are entirely up for debate and you can make your mermaid costume as sexy or as sedate as you would like.

Start with the Tail

The best mermaid costume starts with the tail. For the really high grade look, the little slit that allows your feet to poke free is virtually impossible to detect. (Make sure that you are wearing the right colored hose and shoes to complete the illusion.) Remember, the mermaid costume is not one that is going to afford you a lot of mobility, so skip it if you plan to enter any dancing contests, or if you are going to be doing a lot of walking. You also should not attempt to drive after you have been dressed.

The tail material should be shimmery and metallic looking, materials which work really well. The object is to have a tail that looks as much like fish scales as possible but is still sexy. The brighter the material, the more light it will catch and reflect.

And Then Add the Top

In addition to the great tail, your mermaid costume will need a top. For most costumes, this means a seashell bra. If you are a little more modest or seashells will not suffice, there are other options to consider. For those who do not want to bare it all as a mermaid opt for a costume that has a flesh colored insert in the middle to cover your tummy, but still give you the illusion of the sexy mermaid. If you need more coverage than a seashell bra top would give, then opt for a more supportive, more modest top.  For instance, I once wore a sexy sports bra style top that I added little shells and other sea inspired touches too. Its color matched my fishy tail perfectly and no one knew that I had to make a last minute substitution.

Hair and Makeup

Your hair should be long and flowing so if you don’t have it, fake it with a great wig. Remember, mermaids spend much of their time sunning on a rock, brushing their long, beautiful hair as they sing. Make your makeup as aquatic themed as possible, but avoid tacky dark blue eyes shadow. You are a mermaid, not a ‘70’s disco-maid.

Beer Girl Costumes

Ah, the lovely beer girl. Number one, you have a pretty girl. Number two, she is in an adorable costume. And, last but not least you have beer. What more could a guy ask for? (Besides a second beer, that is.) Now, you can pull your hair into a pair of cute little braids (or fake it with a wig) and make every man in the room go crazy with beer induced lust.

Of all of the costumes that you can choose there might be none that is more figure flattering than the beer girl costumes. Perfect for the petite and the shall we say, bigger boned gal, the beer girl costume is great no matter what shape you are in. For those who have reveled in my costume delights before, you are well aware that of all the costumes there are, the beer girl costumes are my very favorite. (Of course, it helps that I am blonde, and curvy and the costume suits me perfectly.)

Start with the right costume, the best beer girl costume that you can find. Velvet over skirt with crinolines to hold it out and a white, off the shoulder top make this a good looking costume but what’s more- it creates the illusion of a tiny waist and ample bosom, no matter what the reality is. To make this one a little cheeky, add a little pair of lacy panties  that peep out from under the short skirt. Fishnet tights are a great touch and little high heeled granny boots are good as well.

The perfect accessory for the beer girl costumes is a beer stein, whether you are drinking or not. Remember though, you may be so convincing as a beer girl that you will be fielding orders all night long.
