sailor-costumes

The most popular choices usually revolve recent movies. The trick is to come up with something a little more unique and sailor costumes for Halloween are a quiet tip at the moment. In fact, they are more than a quiet tip and in this article, we want to introduce you to several possible choices you could adopt.

Sailor Costume Group Theme

When heading to a Halloween costume party as a group the most attractive ideas revolve around going as a collective theme. The sailor Halloween costumes provide the opportunity to achieve this. For example, think of the most famous sailor who ever lived who was surrounded by some unusual characters. We’re suggesting someone like Popeye the sailor man. As a group, you can have a lot of fun with this theme. Popeye’s uniform was not complicated. You need a white shirt with a blue and white collar accompanied by blue or white pants and a trademark nautical hat. Then, it’s a matter of getting those padded forearms and you’re good to go. But Popeye wouldn’t be complete without his favorite girl on his arm.

Sexy Sailor Costume

3 Piece Sailor Costume includes stretch knit padded cup underwire dress with attached short skirt, gold foil bow hem trim and printed anchor accents. The matching long sleeved shrug and sailor hat are included.

Includes:

Sexy Captain Costume

This Sexy Captain Costume includes dress with double breasted button front, belt with anchor buckle, tie, and captain hat.

Includes:

Sailor Sweetie Costume

3 Piece Sexy Sailor Sweetie Costume includes Double Layer Mini Dress with attached petticoat, Removable Collar and Hat.

Includes:

These are just some of the ideas you can create around the sailor costumes for Halloween. Of course, you could simply attend as a straight-laced seafaring character but it just wouldn’t have the same impact.

queen of hearts and alice in wonderland costume 8

The Queen of Hearts has been sending fear down our spines for almost 150 years. The fictional character was created by Lewis Carroll and brought to life in his timeless classic Alice in Wonderland. She ruled over Wonderland with her foul temper and violent behavior. Just a playing card, she scared the wits out of Wonderland’s residents and is just as powerful in pop culture today. Check out why the Queen of Hearts is so memorable and even why we love her.

“Off with his head!”
It is safe to say the Queen of Hearts liked to keep her punishments short and simple. One of the most famous quotes from Alice in Wonderland, “off with their heads” is still heard and mocked today in pop culture. Anything and everything would make the Queen’s short temper snap with a beheading as the consequence. However, the King of Hearts granted pardons to many of the Queen’s victim and very few heads rolled in the storybook.

Plays by her own rules
Who could forget the croquet match between the Queen and Alice? The average game of croquet consists of wooden mallets and stakes, solid balls and wired hoops with directions to follow. The Queen, however, feels free to play by her own rules with flamingos as mallets, hedgehogs as balls and her servants as hoops guaranteeing her a win every time. If not, well it’s off with winner’s head!

Power and Authority
It is no question that the Queen of Hearts possessed power and authority, something we all wish we had a little bit of. Wonderland’s residents lived in fear and went out of their way to please the Queen. Throughout the story, the White Rabbit is a nervous wreck and in chapter eight, Alice comes upon three cards painting roses red in fright of the Queen’s dislike for white roses. Now if we could only find servants like that.

queen of hearts

Makes Delicious Tarts
“The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer’s day. The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.” The Knave will agree the Queen knows how to bake! Published before Alice in Wonderland, the classic nursery rhyme was incorporated into Carroll’s story with the Knave’s trial. The trial takes place at the story’s climax with Alice testifying and admiring the tarts herself.

One of a kind
Don’t get the Queen of Hearts mixed up with the Red Queen, or your head will roll. The Red Queen appears in Carroll’s sequel Through the Looking Glass and is represented by a chess piece. Still an antagonist, the Red Queen doesn’t have a foul temper and is defeated by Alice after she herself becomes a queen. In both Disney versions, the 1951 animated film and Tim Burton’s adaptation, the two queens are combined to create one unforgettable character.

Renaissance-Faires-Costume

Decide how accurate you wish to be to the time period. Many pirates seen at renaissance faires are actually modeled after the pirates of the 18th century, known as the Golden Age of Piracy. Pirates did, however, exist, and in fact have existed since before the Middle Ages. So, you have a very free range as to whether to dress in the popular 18th century fashion or take a more truly renaissance theme. Likewise, you can choose a historically accurate route, or add your own creative flare.

• Want to be truly historically accurate? Truth is, most female pirates (and there weren’t many) in the day dressed as male pirates, which isn’t the glamorous look portrayed in movies. Even captains, when working with their crews (as they often did), dressed very simply; breeches, a shirt, perhaps a vest, and often barefoot for better footing on deck. A sash was an important part of a sailor’s garb as well; it could be used as a belt, a headwrap, even a rag or towel for cleaning duties. Clothing was often quite ragged and worn as well, as pirates rarely had many articles of clothing to begin with.
• If you prefer to go a more imaginative (and more popular route) as featured in the photo at the top of this article, there are three basic pieces that should be included in your garb: a blouse, a bodice, and skirts/breeches. Your blouse can be long-sleeved or short, but most importantly the sleeves should fit loosely, in a flowy or “poofed” style. This style provides a great contrast with the tightness of the bodice.
• Your bottom half should be clothed in either breeches or skirts, or often in my case, both. The breeches can be either loose or fitted, but either way should be worn tucked into boots if you’re wearing them. You should either avoid modern closures (zippers or snaps) or try to hide them with accessories. Skirts should be cut very full; the best test is to put it on and spin. If the fabric flies out vertically and doesn’t just “bubble” it’s perfect for pirate garb. The reason for this is that most pirate skirts are worn in a hiked fashion, and you want plenty of fabric to work with to get that perfect wenchly, rakish look. Thrift stores are great for buying skirts and breeches; mine were all found at Goodwill and Salvation Army. Medical scrubs can work well if you want loose breeches as well.
• Now, the bodice. This is one of the most important parts of your garb. My preferred bodice method is to buy a plain corset to wear under all of your garb to do the actual shaping and holding in, because this will lessen the strain on your outer bodice, which is often more decorative (and more expensive) than the underbodice. As far as the outerbodice is concerned (whether you opt for the underbodice or not), make sure that your bodice has STEEL boning, as if will last longer. You can find bodices online (especially at eBay), but it really is best to buy one at a faire (or at least in person) so that you can inspect it yourself and have the bodice’s seamstress show you how to properly lace yourself into it.
• Footwear is important for two reasons; it must be accurate, and it must be comfortable. I don’t suggest going barefoot; faire grounds are usually made of dirt, stones, and lots
  of stuff you don’t want your foot in, on, or embedded with. Your best safest bet is a pair of leather or faux-leather boots in either a slouched or cuffed fashion with less than a one-inch heel. Yes, stilettos are sexy, but you’re likely to be walking on uneven ground all day, and unless you like broken ankles, play it safe and smart. You want comfort AND style. I bought my thigh-high, cuffable, low-heeled leather boots from a renaissance vendor…they were $150, but they’ve lasted two faire seasons and have little more than scuffs, and are crazy comfortable. If you’re not digging boots, go with leather or cloth ballet flats. Anything not obviously modern.
• Trinkets, treasures, effects…whatever you call them, accessories are key when putting together your garb. Starting from top to bottom…hats. Jack Sparrow’s obsession with his hat was not a solitary event; pirates do have a certain obsession with their hats. A pirate hat is a crowning glory, and it says a lot about the pirate’s personality. My own hat has at least two feathers in it, a leather rose from a friend, and often another embellishment or two depending on my mood. Next is belts. I love belts. You’ll love belts. Why? Because they keep you from carrying around the many, many things a pirate needs, like mugs, weapons, etc. I wear at least a belt and a rope around my waist and hips to hang my pouch, drinking vessel, flogger, etc. As far as weapons go, you need to check with the faire you’re going to attend to find out what their weapons policy is. That being said, keep your sword peace-tied.
• As far as the rest of your accessories go….it’s all up to you! Layer on tons of gold and silver-toned jewelry; the gaudier, the better! Avoid plastic and any modern designs. Once again, thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army are fantastic for this. A fun part of choosing jewelry and accessories is making up stories about the pieces. I have a ring I claim I stole from a French queen, a chain of black pearls I claim to have received as a “payment for my services” from a certain pirate captain, etc. It’s all up to your imagination!

alice-in-wonderland

An Alice in Wonderland themed costume party is a great idea for a birthday party, Halloween, or regular party. Both adults and children can enjoy going through the looking glass into this Wonderland celebration. There are many colorful characters to choose from, and costumes are commonly sold. If you want to dress up as Alice, making the right “Alice in Wonderland” party dress is the most important part. If you are a seamstress, you can make the dress yourself, or you can alter a dress or skirt to look similar. Once you recreate your “Alice in Wonderland” costume, it is simple to finish off the outfit with the right accessories.

Follow these steps to head down the rabbit hole to the best bash you’ve ever thrown:

• An outdoor garden location is ideal for an Alice in Wonderland costume party. For a children’s party, the afternoon is best. For an adult party, have it outside at night and decorate with multi-colored lights to bring out the dark, weird side of Wonderland.
• Write up a budget and guest list. Think about the number of guests when planning the food, drinks and activities.
• Create and send Alice in Wonderland themed invitations. Send the invites at least 2 weeks in advance. However, if you send them a month in advance, you will have greater response and the guests will have more time to get costumes.
• Begin a list of everything you need to purchase or gather for the Alice in Wonderland party so that you have everything ready for the event. Don’t forget to rent, buy or make your costume.

A cool homemade “Alice in Wonderland” party

homemade-alice-in-wonderland-costume

“Our group decided to go as the Alice in Wonderland party. We had The Cheshire Cat, The Queen of Hearts, The Mad Hatter (Tim Burton’s version), Alice, The Tea Party Rabbit and, of course, our Late White Rabbit (who is really late, by this we mean pregnant). Our Homemade Alice in Wonderland Group Costume was made by The Queen of Hearts. She put the most time and effort into the project, while The Mad Hatter helped with his costume.The Queen’s costume was all handmade from pieces of material that were sown together and some 16- gauge electric fence wire was used to make the bottom springy. On the back of her there was a smile of the Cheshire Cat.The Cheshire Cat was also, from head to toe, made from spare material.The Mad Hatter’s costume took, perhaps, the longest. The Hat was 100% constructed using cardboard, poster board, material, feather duster feathers, knitting needles and some 16-gauge electric fence wire. The suit was an old green suit that we spray-painted lightly with purple spray paint. The belt across the chest was just spools of thread woven with yarn on an old belt. Alice’s costume was an old blue dress with a white apron sown on top. The Tea Party Rabbit used a few colorful shirts and handmade ears that the Queen of Hearts constructed. The White Rabbit had a lady’s red overcoat. We took a foam circular ball, glued cotton balls onto it and then pinned it to the back for a tail. We also found an old clock and tied it to yarn to hang from her neck (so she wouldn’t have to hold it all night).All in all, we had the time of our lives and everyone loved our costumes. “

You have many options when it comes to choosing an adult sailor costumes. Whether you are interested in being a pirate, a Navy sailor or check out female sailor costumes there are many adult sailor costumes for you to choose from.

Sailors are persons who use a ship as a means for their livelihood. You might not think about it but some of the first sailors were anglers. After fishermen came sailors for trade and pirates. We most often think of sailors as Navy men or women or Captains of ships.

Today adult sailor costumes revolve around traditional Navy costumes to sexy women sailor and feisty pirates. When choosing an adult sailor costume think about how you want to be portrayed.

If you are choosing a traditional Navy adult costume, remember to include colors of blue and gold. Did you know that the bell-bottom pants entered the sailors costume in 1817. The sailors were allowed to wear bell-bottoms so they could pull the pants up to their knees when washing down the deck. They were made in this form so that incase the sailor found himself in the sea he could use the pants as a life preserver.

Don’t forget the neckerchief or bandana for around the neck area. The neckerchief is traditionally black; it was added to the uniform so it could be used as a sweatband. It is black so that it would hide dirt and debris. Finally make sure you tie your neckerchief into a square knot, to be uniform with any other sailors you run into on Halloween.

sailor-party-costume

For the women you only need a blue or white single-breasted coat, and a long skirt to match, black boots, and stockings. If you want to bump  your adult sailor costume ideas up try a short skirt with thigh high stockings and blue heels. However, don’t forget women wore the sailor hat as well, so make sure to include in your sailor costume.

If you are looking for an alternative adult sailor costume idea look at some of them online and replicating them with items at home or form the thrift store. Check out some thrift stores where you can find white pants, and tops or skirts. Tie a black bandana around the neck and tie it in a square knot, add your sailors cap and you are all set with an adult sailor costume.

There are many adult sailor costume ideas, but you can also include your children in dressing up as sailors. Children will be dressed in more sweet costumes, but your young man may love be become a pirate for the occasion. Finally, don’t forget your best friend Fido there are costume ideas for him as well.

Did you know that Sexy Black Cat is an ex-girlfriend of Spiderman?Wear black spandex pant, a black leotard OR black long-sleeved shirt. Get an old belt and cut it up so that it fits around you neck as a collar Add a bell or tag if desired. Create ears by stuffing black socks in a triangular fashion then attach them to a head band creating ears. Paint face black and add whiskers.

When attending a renaissance festival, you should wear garb that is both historically correct and pertains to the persona you have chosen. Not everyone dresses up, you can wear street clothes if you like, but playing the part makes the experience worth the ticket price!

Historically accurate: There are a couple of attitudes on this one. Some people will say to avoid dressing like a Harry Potter character or a gothic vampire. Children can get away with dressing like fairies and the like, but the real ren-faire buffs will tell you that you should probably go for something more 16th century.

• Absolute no-no’s for historical accuracy: No sneakers with skirts, avoid wristwatches, and sunglasses. For ideas, check out this medieval clothing gallery.

The other camp of people will tell you to dress however you darn well please! I am of this attitude, because ultimately a renaissance festival is a place to let go an have fun. : If your goal is to buy or create period costumes to achieve total historical accuracy, fine. But let’s let everyone else have a good time, too. Follow a ‘No Snarking’ rule. If someone hasn’t asked you if their costume is historically accurate, keep the condescending pointers to yourself. If a fellow patron actually asks you for advice, give them some helpful constructive critisism.

alice-in-wonderland-cosplay

Wear a Nice Attitude

Not Like a Desperate Wench: Remember that bodices and corsets are meant to leave something to the imagination. Cleavage is good fun, but don’t hike your corset more than halfway. You’re not fooling anyone by doing this…everyone can tell. Skirts should be long with boots or slippers; not high heels. You wouldn’t want to walk around the festival grounds in heels, anyway.

Don’t Forget the Pirates! Remember, girls can be pirates, too. If you don’t like the idea of going wench, wear a pair of cotton pants with a blouse. Loop a long scarf through the pants and wear as a belt.

Are you a lady in waiting? A peasant wench? Dress according to how much money you imagine your ‘character’ would have to spend on clothes. Rich fabrics were only available to nobility, while drab neutral colors belonged to peasants.

At a fan event for Alice In Wonderland, the stars of the film kept it relatively low key, while the fans went all out, dressing as their favorite Carroll characters. Let’s take a look.

 Fans dress as their favorite character at Walt Disney Pictures & Buena Vista Records “Alice in Wonderland” Fan Event at Hollywood & Highland on February 19, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.

black-widow-halloween-costume

We’re still 6 months away from Halloween, but even so I think it’s fair to say that folks will be looking to dress up as their favorite Iron Man 2 character once the time comes. Hell, the characters of Whiplash and Black Widow are both ripe for exploring in all sorts of freak-ish ways. While your 10-year-old nephew will totally fight you to the death for a chance to wear that War Machine costume, something tells me the male adults in the audience will immediately try to coerce their significant other into showing off that sexy, fake leather-ific Black Widow outfit (the Ironette one is kinda lame, though).

The more macho guys in the audience might want to check out the pretty slick Whiplash costume, which at first glance doesn’t seem to include weird black-gray rocker hair and sun-sprayed rock-hard abs (I believe those are sold separately). He does lose points for those silly plastic strings as far as weapons go. Yeah, in the movie they’re all electric lightning-like and creepy, but in costume form they’re pretty ridiculous. According to the site, the costumes will be able to be pre-ordered soon. In the meantime … stop staring at that Black Widow costume model!

So who’s buying one?

games-fan-costume-2

The idea of living within Rapture sounds like a cool enough idea up until all hell breaks loose and you’ve turned yourself into an Adam addict, right? Unfortunately for Australia, it looks as though Little Sisters are invading one of their local larger aquariums and it’s only a matter of time until their Big Daddy’s show up to protect them.

In what I consider to be a very cool fashion shoot, 2K Games fan, Bianca, has brought their mischievous little icon to the real world in the form of cosplay. While not everyone is a fan of cosplaying, it goes without saying that this shoot is one for the ages. Just make sure you don’t mess with her, I heard her Big Sister is worse than her Daddy, oddly enough. The photos themselves were taken by Chris Pavlich.

aborigine-costume-2

The couple, who are tipped to win gold at next month’s winter Olympics, wear skin-toned suits with red loin cloths, white body paint and eucalyptus leaves. But experts in Australia say Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin’s movements and body decorations bear no resemblance to that of the Aborigines’ 60,000 year old culture.

“They have got the whole thing wrong,” said Stephen Page, artistic director of the respected indigenous group, the Bangarra Dance Company. Mr Page said the two and half minute routine’s didgeridoo music sounded more like it came from India or Africa.

He added that the body paint looked like “a three-year-old child had drawn it on”. Indigenous leader Bev Manton, of the New South Wales Land Council, said Aboriginal people were rightly sensitive about the appropriation of their cultural heritage. She told the Sydney Morning Herald: “I am offended by the performance and so are our other councillors.”

Domnina and Shabalin have defended their routine, which proved a hit with the crowd at the European championships in Estonia.

“Our coach offered us this music and we decided to try it. We researched it on the internet and got a lot of information,” explained 27-year-old Shabalin. “It wasn’t our purpose that it be especially Australian, just a dance from many thousands of years ago.”

bunny-ears-trend

Designers like Marc Jacobs are known to push fashion boundaries and send us outside our sartorial comfort zones. That’s part of what makes them so great – constant designer innovation means more experimentation and new trends to try in real life.

But are designer bunny ears a fashion risk worth taking or too editorial for normal-person wear? You be the judge in this week’s Would You Wear.

The whole designer bunny ears trend can be credited to Louis Vuitton Fall 2009, where designer Marc Jacobs sent various bunny-eared models down the runway. According to Jacobs, who finally explained the bunny ears this summer, the idea came about almost by accident, when he saw a member of his design team wearing fabric tied around her head in a bow that resembled ears. In the interview, Jacobs said “I like the kind of Playboy, French coquette aspect to it.”

Following in Marc’s footsteps, famous hat designer Maison Michel did a line of veiled animal ear headbands, which were spotted recently on the always fashion-forward Olsen twins at an Opening Ceremony party.

Personally, I think this trend is adorable, but I don’t think I’d ever wear a pair in real life! I might make an exception for a more toned-down, bow-like version like this LV headband option, but unfortunately it’s a little out of my budget right now. What about you?

Would you wear designer bunny ears if money was no object? Do you think they’re real-life wearable, or are they good for editorials and fashion parties only? Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

Holly-Golightly-Outfit-clothes

Here’s the first glimpse of what the celebrities wore for Halloween last year.  Nicky Hilton dressed as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s! This will be a trend for this year’ Halloween or any dress up parties, not horror or sexy, but very classic :p

It is also the perfect Halloween costume for anyone who loves fashion and is just looking for an excuse to to get dressed up. Here’s what you’ll need….

Audrey Hepburn/Holly Golightly Outfit clothes

1. A little black dress
Most women already have a little black dress of some description, and if you don’t, you won’t have to look too hard to find one. Audrey’s dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s had a low-cut back, so if you can find one similar, so much the better. If you can’t, though, don’t worry – as long as the dress is slim-fitting and black, it’ll work.

2. Pearls
Not just one string, but lots of them. In the movie, Holy Golightly’s pearls fall down her back and clasp at the front with a huge diamante clasp. Again, don’t worry too much about copying this look exactly: with the combination of any slim black dress and any string of pearls, you’re already on the way to the perfect Audrey Hepburn Halloween costume.

3. Black elbow-length gloves Easily found in any accessory store, and in lots of high street chains too, at this time of year.

4.  A tiara Raid Claire’s Accessories, eBay, or charity stores for any kind of sparkly hair ornament that you can nestle into your beehive. Speaking of which

5. A cigarette holder Found on eBay, in any joke store, or you can make your own easily enough by finding a long, thin twig and painting it black.

Contestant 1: Superwoman

sexy-halloween-costume-idea-super-girl

Super Girl / Lois Lane (Superwoman) — The first comic to feature a female counterpart to Superman is “Lois Lane – Superwoman,” a story published in Action Comics #60 (May 1943), in which a hospitalized Lois Lane dreams she has gained superpowers thanks to a blood transfusion from the Man of Steel. She begins her own career as Superwoman, complete with copycat costume. Similar stories with Lois Lane acquiring superpowers and adopting the name “Superwoman” periodically appear later. One such story appears in Action Comics #156 (May 1951), in which Lois accidentally gains superpowers, thanks to an invention of Superman’s arch-foe, Lex Luthor. In the story, Lois employs a short blond wig in her crime-fighting identity, giving Superwoman an almost identical look to the later Kara Zor-El version of Supergirl.

Contestant 2: Naytiri from AVATAR

AVATAR MOVIE SYNOPSIS:

“Avatar” is a 2009 film written and directed by highly acclaimed director, James Cameron. He directed popular and highly rated films like Terminator 2, Aliens, True Lies, and the blockbuster film of all time – “Titanic.” “Avatar” movie will be released on December 16, 2009. The movie is all about the indigenous population of Pandora called the Na’vi and the so-called “Avatar” program of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Na’vi’s village happens to be resting on the richest mineral deposit. The U.S. soldiers found a little gray rock which sells 20 million a kilo and because of this, they want to invade Pandora.

Na’vi stands 10 feet tall. They have blue skin and slender bodies. They have tails and white dots on their face and body. They were considered primitive inhabitants by the human but they are more physically capable than humans. According to humans, “they were hard to kill.” U.S. created a genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. They created Avatars because humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora.

He is a crippled soldier and participating in the “Avatar” program will enable him to walk. He was sent down to Pandora’s jungle as a scout for the soldiers. He meets a Na’vi lady named Neytiri.
