Fancy Dress Help!
Discussion
Hi All,
I have my summer ball on the 11th June and need some inspiration as to what to go as!
As with my previous summer balls there is no theme!
Previous years have seen me dress up as Steve Irwin and the Mad Hatter.
The only ideas my friend and I can come up with are:
Golfers. (socks in trousers, pringle jumper, flat cap)
or.
Mechanics.
VERY BORING! Although easy to do!
My housemates have done Policemen, convicts, cowboys in previous years and i can't be a clown again as that my housemate Lucy something chronic lol.
So i'm asking PH for some inspiration and in return I will post the photos up for me looking like a right idiot for you all to laugh at!
Thanks,
Phill
PS - Being a student means cost plays a part in deciding the final costume!!!! lol

What can be done in pairs? As i'm dragging my mate down for the weekend we thought it would be a laugh to go dressed in similar (bad) fashion.
The only pairs that I can think of off the top of my head (that would be easy to recognise!) are as follows:
Chuckle Brothers!
Laurel & Hardy (not the most ideal attire for spending an evening an a big field!)
One of the most inspirational fancy dress ideas I saw was many years ago. A friend of mine went to a charity/junk shop and bought an old medium sized suitcase. Using the belt from his trousers fastened in it's usual place as a template, he then cut a hole in the top and bottom of the case.
He then stepped into the hole he'd cut and pulled the suitcase up around his waist. A pair of old braces fastened to the outside of the suitcase enabled him to keep it in place suspended around his waist.
Hey Presto - Man in a Suitcase!!!
This was a successful 60's TV series about which you can find more Here

Tried this one once for Halloween.
Me in a over-large white shirt worn back to front with the sleeves tied behind - two mates in lab coats with those light reflecting thingies on their heads (carboard covered in foil).
Obviously I dont need a straightjacket to look like a loony, but I was in 'character'
this was a competition down my local pub - the genius landlord had me/mates second behind a caveman. WTF?.)
