Despite the overbearing urge to dress up as a pirate for a ‘P’ party or fancy dress events there are a lot of other options.  You can choose from a PB&J Sandwich, a Peacock or numerous other ideas, let’s check them all out….

Costumes Starting with the Letter P

  • Paddington Bear
  • Panda
  • Paris – Paris can take a variety of interpretations. It could be the city or the Paris who caused the Trojan war on account of Helen of Troy. You could also go as Paris Hilton, the well-known socialite. Use a skimpy dress, a long blonde wig, and a small dog in a handbag to create that look.
  • Pauly D (Jersey Shore) – Whether you’re a fan of the Jersey Shore or of the Pauly D Project this is a cool Pauly D costume to wear. I must admit I haven’t seen either program, but they certainly have a lot of fans.
  • Pavarotti
  • Peacock
  • Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich
  • Peasant
  • Pebbles -The Flintstones make great costume ideas for a fancy dress party and I’ve seen a number of Freds, Wilmas, Barneys and Bettys over the years, surprisingly I’ve never seen anyone dress up as Pebbles, but if you’re going to a P party it’s a pretty good choice
