Fancy Dress Ideas
Going to a fancy dress on Halloween, anyone any ideas for a cheap fancy dress outfit? Don't want to borrow anything, as i have a habbit after a drink or two of leaving things behind. Don't want to spend a lot, in fact don't want to spend anything if i can help it. Thanks.

Re: Fancy Dress Ideas
Hey, go for this Sara ..
At the end of the day, there is the good old bin liner:-
Costumes do not come cheaper than making one with a bin liner. Bin bags make shiny capes. All you do is cut a hole for the arms and head to go through. Red liners use for creating a devil, and black for witches, Dracula or Batman.

Re: Fancy Dress Ideas
Talking about bin liners Katex, i remember last Christmas day. Half way through our meal my son mentioned that he was going to a fancy dress that evening and could i sort him out with a costume. I said Of course i could and any of his mates too (i was been sarcastic), but him and his two friends took me up on the offer. I got some bin liners and made them in to dominoes. Only thing was that by the time they got to the party most of the spots had come off.
