You might want to think about a police costume for your child’s next dress up party. Kids love dressing up as policemen or policewomen, as firefighters, as doctors or nurses, as soldiers, as astronauts, as air hostesses or air stewards, as pilots of course, and as chef. If a child has an interest in a career, such as any of the above, or they are just fascinated by any of the above, let them choose a dress up costume that works for them. You can order any of these costumes online and they are really inexpensive. Dressing up is good for all children; it is an important part of fantasy and of growing up. Let your child choose the costume that they want. If they want to help you make it, great, but otherwise choose a costume online and get it delivered. You might even want to choose a few.

An astronaut costume is a must-have for any fan of space exploration and science. With the right disguise and accessories, you can become an essential part of the mission to Mars.

There is nothing cuter than seeing kids in animal costumes and a toddler as a bear, frog, monkey, dinosaur, is just too adorable. Babies often get dressed up by their parents as animals and while the babies might not know what is going on, they do love getting all the attention. Toddlers, when it comes to dress up parties for friends or dress up parties at nursery school, also love waddling in as whatever is their favourite animal of choice, which can often be a puppy, dog, cat or kitten. The best place to buy dress up costumes for babies, toddlers, kids or teens, is an online dress up store where the choice is really big, or you might have a store down the road from you too. I remember when I was young my mom used to make my dress up costumes which were fun and lovely, generally a long tail pinned on to a pair of shorts or a dress, and some moms and dads still like to make their own costumes.

Animal costumes for you

You know if you look at costumes online you will see that there are plenty

It might be a new thing having 100 days of school costume but it really is a wonderful thing. Children love the idea of getting all dressed up in fancy dress costumes but did you know that it is actually a healthy thing for them to do? Dressing up inspires children’s creativity and imagination. It gets them thinking in an imaginative way, thinking of books, thinking of film, thinking of nature. It gets them thinking of what their favourite things are. Do they want to dress up as a famous poet, which shows an interest in poetry, or do they want to dress up as their favourite author or as their favourite book character? This is great as it shows an interest in books and reading and writing too. Do they want to dress up as nature or as something in the environment, which shows they are interested in their environment and even, they are aware of the challenges that our world faces. Do they want to dress up as a country, a flag, or something geographical? You can see the options are endless.

Fifties was the era of rock and roll and a 50s costume is such a great idea for a themed fancy dress party. Adults in particular will like this type of party. The costumes are really easy to design and a 50s party is really loads of fun to plan. The 50s were about dancing, wide skirts for women, turn up pants for men, lovely hairstyles, cat eyeglasses, aprons, jelly, shoes and socks and of course, wonderful music. Women looked prim and proper but always had a tinkle in their eye, their shirts were well fitted and even sexy, and men looked dapper. Milkshakes were big, as were big bowls of punch, and everyone loved the polaroid camera. You can decorate the table with old fashioned crockery and cutlery, buy plates and cups online that are fifties theme, and use colours like pink and blue. If you can play music on a record player, or get a DJ who can play vinyl, even better.

The fifties and diners

The diner becomes a thing in the fifties and the costumes often feature the kind of clothing that

If you are looking for a great 70s costume to wear to a 70s theme party, it helps to know what people actually wore in the 1970s before you start putting an outfit together. The decade had a distinctive look, and getting a few key pieces right does most of the work.

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.

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.

So what are the best costume ideas for kids? Well, it all depends on your child, the age of your child, and what their interests are. Some kids love to dress up as superheroes and others love to dress up as big cuddly bears or huge scary dinosaurs.
