Fancy dress costumes are great and choosing a 50s costume and having a 50s decade party is really fun. The 50s are a bit of an unknown decade, unlike the sixties and seventies that were known for their hippie clothing and big hair, and the eighties and nineties that were about mini skirts and high heels.

If you want an excuse for fancy dress in Melbourne then remember, you do not need an excuse for fancy dress in your city. You (adult or child or teen) can dress up any time you want. Of course it is wonderful throwing a dress up party and having a theme, but and maybe this goes more for a child or young person, dressing up never needs an excuse. We think every family should have a dress up corner at their homes, in the playroom or in the bedroom, with dress up clothes, hats and sunglasses and similar accessories, that the kids can access any time. And of course if there is a dress up party, then it is fun to think about and plan the dress up costume creatively.
Planning a fancy dress costume
It is always helpful if there is a dress up theme and costumes in stores (online or offline) always have themed sections, including superheroes, cartoon costumes, costumes from the different decades, career costumes, fairy or princess or prince costumes, Halloween dress up costumes and accessories, Christmas dress up costumes and so on. The accessories are as important as the costume so have a look at these at the store. The prices are good and it is well worth ordering a few wands, wigs, sunglasses, hats, scarves and similar, for the dress up corner at home. Dressing up encourages creativity and it is a great way to keep kids busy and entertained for a long time.
There are some families or people who like to make their own dress up costumes and we would always encourage this. Involve your kids in the process if you are going this route. And involve the kids always, even if you are buying costumes online. Let kids make their own choices. Spend time thinking about the theme and fancy dress Melbourne and put your heart into the dress up fun!
Do you wish you’d been a hippy? The 70s outfits were the best fashion, so cool and groovy, and anyone who knows about that decade knows about the fashion and the style.
