Here’s a costume from Britney Spears wardrobe for her circus tour. Canadian brothers Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared designed them. Hot. But not as hot as what Miss Tessa of  New Zealand can do. But enjoy anyway!

Could a spark of competition from the wardrobe of Brittney Spear’s “The Circus” tour  be the inspiration behind Beyonce’s revamps?

That’s what some media outlets are speculating.

Sketches have been released of from Beyonce’s up and coming 2009 World Tour wardrobe. Though the drawings come after the “Like a Circus” singer, they have a unique flair of their own.

Apparently Beyonce saw some of French designer Thierry Mugler’s work at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute’s “Superheroes” exhibit in May, 2008. From there Mugler signed on to be the creative advisor and costume designer of the “Diva” singer’s tour. 

The designer told WWD that the costumes are “‘the duality between being a woman and a warrior. Feminine. Free. Warrior. Fierce.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now you can become the Queen of Hearts with Alice in Wonderland costumes from cu2nite.com.au.

Gothic Lolita style is usually a combination of black and white, often black with white lace and typically decorated with ribbons and lace trims. Skirts are knee length and may have a crinoline or petticoat to add volume. As in mainstream Japanese fashion, over-knee socks or stockings are extremely popular. Black fishnet stockings and white or black tights are also common. Shoes or boots with high heels – though not usually stiletto heels – such as Mary Janes, complete the look. Frilly, ruffled or lace-trimmed Victorian blouses are also popular especially with “EGL” types, who may also favour long skirts and jackets rather than the overtly “childish” designs of typical gothloli’s. Apart from the occasional shortness of skirts, designs are usually modest, sometimes with long lace-capped sleeves.

Some additions may include an Alice in Wonderland-style apron, tiny top hats, parasols, lace gloves, and lace headpieces. Mostly black or white, headgear might consist of a headband with ruffles, ribbons, lace or bows. Sometimes even bonnets are worn. Hair may be curled to complete the porcelain doll look. The naturally dark Japanese hair color may be lightened to blonde or kept black. Some may choose to wear wigs as well.

Makeup is used sparingly and is seen more often with EGL styles than with other gothloli styles. Black eyeliner is typical. A pale complexion is preferred, so white foundation might be used. Red or black lipstick is seen but lighter makeup is the rule.

While these outfits look complicated, they are actually pretty quick and simple to make. Use lots of ribbon, lace and mesh fabrics to get the layered look. I’d suggest wearing a pair of leggings underneath, along with arm warmers and of course, fairy wings. If you think these are not  easy to make, please buy gothic fairy outfits from cu2nite costume online store.

Who doesn’t believe in fairies? With this costume, a beautiful fairy will magically appear on your doorstep.

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!

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. “
