How to dress up as a knight?

[Henry Hawthorne]

Hi team,

I've been invited to a party round one of my mate's houses on Friday and the theme is "Knights of the Round Table". In fairness I have had a month to come up with a costume but just haven't bothered...

Does anyone have any (cheap) ideas for me to look knight-ish? I don't want to be boring and just get a standard knight's costume from the fancy dress shop... Any ideas? P. S. Batman "The Dark Knight" idea is already taken

Cheers

NHS specs held together with sticking-plaster, a nice tank-top, some comfortable slacks and some grey slip-on shoes. Take some fireworks with you and organise a safe (but boring) display in the back garden (ensuring all spectators stand at least a mile away). Place buckets around the garden for donations.

Oh, sorry, wrong Round Table.

A Jedi Knight!... with a round table.



Maybe not a lego one... but its an easy costume.

Just childhood memories of being dragged along to Cassiobury Park to behold the annual "organised display" by the Round Table. We stood around in the freezing cold saying "Ooooh" and "Aaaah" and "Dad, can we go home now, this is boring and why are you too tight to buy fireworks we can set off at home?"

To be fair, he did post at EXACTLY the same time as you!

OP - Do you know anyone who can speed knit? A chunky knitted long sleeve top and leggings, sprayed silver, will make passable chainmail. Its what they use in the film industry and re-enactment societies for 'background' use. Then make up a chest/back plate from cardboard and paint it like the St george Cross, pick up a plastic sword from Toys'R'US.

Job done!

Ah Jedi Knight! That's a good one...

Keep 'em coming guys.
