Over time many of us get invited to a fancy dress party. Sometimes the theme of the party is quite vague and could allow for a whole range of outfits to be suitable, but often the party host will specify a particular decade or film etc. that they want people to dress up as.

If you are needing to find an outfit for a 70’s part for example, then before you fork out on an expensive fancy dress get up why not look at the other options available to you. Firstly look through your wardrobe and see if you have anything that would be suitable, or that you could adapt to fit the year. If you are still struggling then the charity shops are a great way to find that perfect outfit at a bargain price. You may have to spend a little bit of time hunting but you may be lucky enough to pick up an outfit that was designed and made in the 70’s – the genuine article!

If you do have to hit the high street shops then try and get something that you may wear again, often if you can split your outfit in to a top and skirt you may wear both of them again even if not together.
