ADULT FAIRY COSTUME – If you fancy fluttering the night away, then this flight of fantasy-style costume could be what youâ??re looking for!

Christmas is nearly here, and as the festivities start to take over there may be some of you planning a spectacular seasonal party filled with fun, food and drink. For many,  though, hosting the traditional fancy dress party is the highlight of the year, and preparations will already be in full flow. If you have children there is always the problem which fancy dress costume it’s going to be this year, so let’s take a look at some beautiful childrens christmas costume classics.

Elf: That much-loved film Elf is the reason why the Santa’s little helper elf costume has soared in popularity. The outfit consists of trousers, jacket and an elf hat in christmas green and red colours. Add some elf slippers to finish off and, if you look around, you may find some that even have bells on. An ideal comfortable costume to wear for both kiddies and adults makes this a popular choice.

Reindeer: Our children’s love affair with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is everlasting and puts this outfit in the Christmas costume top ten list. For the man who’s still a child at heart there are adult versions of this costume, too. Looks great with the large black eyes and nose. Just be careful you don’t poke anyone in the eye with the antlers when you’re doing lots of under the mistletoe kisses if you’re an adult. A little tip here – the suits don’t always come with a red nose, but you could always use your Comic Relief leftover or buy one at a clown accessories store.

Santa suit: This is a suit available for any age, male and female, such is its popularity. For the Santa baby,  your little darlings will be in festive favour in their Santa suits and, if you’re out and about visiting relatives on Christmas morning, be prepared for your baby to take centre stage. For baby boys, the suit comes with some cutie pants and jacket with traditional white fur edging and pretend black belt for comfort. The Christmas hat is a must for the perfect finish. For the little Miss Santa, the costume becomes a beautiful red dress edged in white fur around the bottom, neck and cuffs. TIP: If she doesn’t want to wear a Santa hat, then a red coloured sparkly hair band can be sported to great effect.

Wooden Soldier: This super looking costume will have your little boy marching off with all the attention. The red jacket traditionally will have silver braiding and some embroidery with buttons, with the white pants bearing a stripe down the sides. The matching hat is a perfect finisher. A super looking little outfit.

Angel: Your little ones will look heavenly and will certainly steal everyone’s hearts in any angel costume. This beautiful outfit will come with sparkly halo and wings edged in gold or silver. Always remember the comfort of the child wearing this costume so that, when they need their nap, they’ll be able to do so. TIP: A little gold or silver hair band or scrunchie is ideal if your child doesn’t get on with the halo.

It doesn’t matter our age we women just love an excuse to dress up and with the festive season so close we don’t need any other reason to don our favourite christmas fancy dress costume.Girls, get ready to jingle Santa’s bells, rein in the reindeer and make Christmas a real cracker as we take a look at some stunning super sexy or just traditional festive fancy dress costumes around this year.

LADIES’ SEXY MINI SANTA DRESS: Too sexy for words if you have the figure to wear these little stunners. Whether you choose your little number with sleeves, straps or basque style, all of them are white fur-trimmed. If you’re feeling glitzy, you can even get them in sparkly or sequinned material, just look around. A hat or red glittery hair band would look great depending on your age, but a great finisher would be some long, red, sexy gloves edged with the white fur if you’re an adult with a sleeveless dress. Just don’t stand too close to any mistletoe while wearing this outfit!!!If you really want to stand out and shine, you may wish to consider a ladies’ light-up Santa costume. These outfits have minute lights sewn into the skirt part of the dress. It’s up to you when you decide to switch them on, but there’s one thing for sure – they‘re not to be worn if you want to avoid anyone. A great fun outfit.

VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS CAROLLER: For those ladies that want to dress up but cover up a bit more, this beautiful traditional costume will take you back to the old-style Dickensian Christmas card and films. The costume is traditionally calf or ankle length and green is the most popular colour. A hooded cape edged in some kind of red plaid would set off the era of the costume and a large white fur muff is a perfect finisher. This would be a great outfit to keep you nice and warm if you go carolling on a cold night while looking truly authentic..

SEXY ELF: You can be one of Santa’s little helpers in this festive frock, but I would suggest not wearing this if you still have all the presents to put out around the tree. The elf costume edges are usually shaped into points around the skirt bottom and sleeves. You must wear the hat if you want to be traditional. TIP: If it’s cold where you live, then get some long-legged, striped elf stockings; they look terrific and funky, honest, and don’t forget the elf slippers if you’re looking to do the whole theme.

ADULT FAIRY: If you’re into ultra-feminine, then this costume would be a perfect choice. It tends to come in various lengths along with halo and wings. Hints of pale pinks and blues are often found in the material with some touches of glitter and sequins sewn on, making this a stunning and quite beautiful costume to wear. Just be careful you don’t snag your wings while partying!!

With Christmas fancy dress costumes, it’s all about sparkle and spangles so add some facial glitter high on the cheekbones and get some fabulous red lipstick and a good quality lip gloss as you don’t want it running. Red, silver, gold, glittery or sequinned bows, earrings, hair bands all help to set the festive scene; oh, and girls, don’t forget to carry a sprig of mistletoe when partying.
