Collection: Women's Fancy Dress Costumes

Women's fancy dress by decade

Decade themes are the easiest to pull together and the easiest for a group to join. The 70s lean on disco flares and hippie fringing, while the 80s bring neon, shell suits and aerobics gear. Start with the 70s fancy dress or 80s sets and add a wig to finish.

Character and film fancy dress

Recognisable characters carry a costume on their own, so the styling can stay simple. Wonder Woman, Lady Gaga, Mary Poppins and Belle are all popular and all read instantly from one or two signature pieces. The Wonder Woman fancy dress is a good place to start for a hero look.

Couples and group fancy dress

If you are going with a partner or a group, agree a single theme so the photos hang together. A shared decade or film keeps everyone on the same page without much planning. Our couples fancy dress ideas show pairs that work.
