Pirate Costumes for Children

Posted on August 20, 2014 by Lou

Children Love Dressing Up As Pirates!

What could be better than to dress up as a pirate? Whether it’s for Halloween, a fancy dress party or just for play Pirate costumes are fun! I used to love playing pirates when I was younger and my daughter loves it now so buying some kid’s pirate costumes makes great sense. Old fashioned piracy fires up a child’s imagination…….it can also teach them skills such as map reading.

As my daughter has gotten older we’ve moved from the ‘treasure maps’ of the back garden to showing her our map book and getting her to find our route to wherever we’re going on the weekend.

Playing pirates can also foster a love for geography as my daughter loves her globe and atlas and even has a world map on her wall. She plots sailing journeys on them and when she sees a little island or country that sounds interesting we look it up and find out a little bit about it. Playing pirates has never been so educational!!

Pirates of the Seven Seas Dress Up Chest

No Longer Available

As every wannabe pirate knows you keep your treasure in a chest so where better to stow your pirate costume and accessories than in a pirate’s treasure chest?

Set includes: Hat, headpiece, vest, belt, eye patch, play pistol, fake teeth, expandable telescope, 2 earrings, hook hand, 3 tattoos, sword, 12 play gold coins, coin pouch, treasure map and treasure chest.

Everything in this set is all that your child will need to dress up as a pirate anytime they want, which will probably include when you want them to go shopping with you!!

Having a complete set means that you have your eye patch, treasure map and telescope all of which are essential for pirates, now you can just wear your jeans or trousers and add these accessories, but there’s just something about the old buccaneer type of pirate that looks so ‘real.’ Let’s have a look at some of the amazing child’s pirate costumes that are on offer.

I hate that this dress up chest is no longer available, but I’ve kept it on this page as it’s a great idea and one that you could compile for yourself as an awesome gift idea for a pirate loving child. Find a treasure chest you like and add all of the things listed above in it, or make up your own pirate dress up needs.

Aaarrrgh Me Hearties!

Kids Pirate Costume

If your child wants to ride the high seas as a swashbuckling pirate then this costume will help him board his ship in style! The costume includes the brown leather look vest with attached white shirt. It also includes the striped pants and the boot tops. Also included is the hat, waist sash and belt.

You can purchase extra accessories to add to this outfit (or raid the dress up chess if you have one), items such as an eye patch and a cutlass would look awesome.

Pirate Costumes for Girls

Anything boys can do girls can do too, grrrrrrhhhh!!

It’s not just boys who dream of being pirates, many girls do too! My dd wanted to have a pirate party when she was 4, despite the fact that most of her (girl) friends at that time were still having princess parties……she liked princesses and dolls, but being a pirate was cool because ‘… pirates get to see the whole world mummy – do you know how awesome that is?’

As far as parents go, who can resist some of these cute pirate costumes for girls and as they get older they can try on a gothic take on pirates in some of the ‘older’ pirate costumes for girls.

Pirate Costume Hats

Posted on August 20, 2014 by Lou

Pirate Hats

If there’s one thing that will really complete a pirate costume it’s the perfect pirate hat. Generally speaking we think of black hats with a skull on the front of them, but these are really only derived from the Napoleonic pirates and pirates have reigned over the seas for many different eras. There are black pirate hats and brown pirate hats, there are feathered pirate hats as well as pirate hats in different designs.

Once you’ve picked your main pirate costume design, whether you’ve made it yourself or brought/hired one then you need to select a hat to suit. So ‘ahoy there me hearties and welcome aboard the Jolly Roger Pirate Hat Page!’

You can purchase the pirate hat featured by clicking here.

Pirate Headgear

What Do Pirates Wear On Their Heads?

Now some pirates just wear a bandana, some wear a bandana and a hat and others wear a headband or combine a headband with a hat. Some pirates just wear a hat, there really is not definitive answer to the question %u2013 what do pirates wear on their head?

Pirate Hats for Children

Pirate costumes are great for children and they will wear their pirate outfits everywhere if allowed! Here is a small selection of hats that children can add to their pirate costumes. Children’s pirate costumes usually come with their own hats or you can buy children’s pirate accessory kits that contain hats.

Pirate Boots Look Great

Wearing the right pair of boots can really help pull a pirate costume together, but you can also wear pirate boots to make a statement with any outfit. When it comes to the pirate boot look you can achieve it in two ways; buy a pair of pirate boots or buy a pair of boot cuffs.

Pirate boots can really add a touch of ‘sexy’ to an outfit and I wouldn’t be surprised if Lady Gaga didn’t bring out a video wearing pirate boots with just some lingerie!

Men can also carry off the pirate boot look, I mean let’s face it we all went weak at the knees when Johnny Depp did it!!!

Ladies Pirate Boots

The key to a good ladies pirate boot seems to be in the use of buckles and/or ribbons. Aside from a pirate costume these boots can be worn with a skirt or jeans for a high end look that will make the menfolk go – wow!

If you don’t want to buy a specific pair of boots for a pirate costume you have a couple of choices – use boot cuffs/boot covers – you can see some examples a little further down the page OR get a pair of sexy black boots that are either laced up boots or have buckles and they’ll work beautifully with your pirate costume.

Check out these boots and see what I mean……

I must admit I do like the idea of boot cuffs because once you’ve got a comfortable pair of boots to wear you can change their look depending on what you’re wearing and you know you can wear them all night without worrying about not being able to walk the next day – or is that just me??!!??

Pirate Costumes for Ladies

Posted on August 20, 2014 by Lou

Ladies Also Like To Dress Up As Pirates!

Pirate Costumes are also available for women, although you could use one of the men’s pirate costumes as many women pirates ‘pretended’ to be men in order to serve on the pirate ship. Famous woman pirate Mary Read actually boarded her first ship as Martin Read.

You can wear a woman’s pirate costume that consists of trousers or you could go for jagged edge longish skirt. There are also a range of sexy woman pirate costumes involving skin tight trousers or barely there skirts!

Which ever of these pirate costumes you choose to wear, you’re sure to make a statement at your party or event…..or perhaps you like to dress up for ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ on September 19th.

A Pirate Blouse

An Essential Part of Any Pirate Costume

If you have a great pirate blouse then you’re over half way to creating your own fantastic pirate costume! A blouse like the ones below in black or white can be combined with black trousers and a bandana for a great looking pirate outfit.

South Seas Pirates Blouse – Black South Sea Pirate Blouse – White

You can also add a pair of pirate boots if you wish, although despite the pictures of pirates in boots the majority of them were thought to have been bare footed so pirate boots is optional. If you don’t feel like wearing a bandana all night you can also buy or make a great pirate’s hat to complete your fabulous pirate costume.

A Pirate Jacket Me Lady?

If you already have a frilly white blouse (damn the 80s!) and a pair of black trousers then you may want to just buy a pirate’s jacket to complete your pirate costume – these pirate jackets above would work wonderfully – I personally like the longer black one (the pirate vixen one), but any of them would definitely say “I’m a pirate.”

Rustic Lady’s Pirate Costume

Rustic Pirate Lady Costume

I love this pirate costume! As I mentioned earlier the rare women pirates that we know about actually boarded pirate ships disguised as men so they wouldn’t have been wearing skirts as is sometimes portrayed in fictional books and in pictures I remember from childhood. One of my childhood heroes was Mary Read, partly because she was a pirate and partly because I could ‘pretend’ she was a relative as we shared the same last name! I remember seeing pictures of her and Anne Bonney in some of the books I read and they were always portrayed in skirts.

Years later I discovered that they actually disguised themselves as men and Mary Read actually boarded her first ship under the name of Martin Read! I think it’s knowing this that makes me like the pirate costumes for ladies that use trousers instead of skirts.

Very Elegant Pirate Costumes for Ladies

I doubt very much that any ‘real’ pirates dressed as elegantly as these lady pirates, but they sure do look great for a pirate costume party!

More Pirate Costumes for Ladies

What is referred to as the golden age of piracy took place in the eighteenth century and these costumes are ones that are often based on outfits of that time worn by tavern wenches with a nod to colors and patterns used in pirate outfits. Add a bandana or pirates hat and you have what is thought of as a lady pirate costume.

Sexy Pirate Costumes

Pirate Costumes for Ladies

Of course there’s always been something sexy about the idea of a pirate’s life…………even if reality would’ve been a whole different kettle of fish. These sexy pirate costumes put the idea of bodice-ripping pirates of the Caribbean right back into the steamy novels that have been written over the years!

Candy Costumes

Posted on August 20, 2014 by Lou

Halloween Costumes That Are Good Enough To Eat – Candy Costumes

These costumes are mouthwatering as they are based on all of your favorite candy from twix bars to skittles and more besides especially everyone’s favorites – M&Ms.

These candy costumes are sure to make your costume the talk of the party this year. If you’re a chocoholic like I am then you will simply love any of these outfits and probably won’t want to take them off again at the end of the night!

Be aware though that these costumes are not for people on a diet as they are pure candy which makes them absolutely ideal for Halloween! These pieces of candy don’t fit in any Halloween Candy Dishes, but they do like to raid them.

Twix Costumes

A Delightful Chocolate Outfit

At the moment I can only find this twix costume, which is definitely designed for a lady as it’s in effect a tank dress. My favorite twix costume is actually a unisex one and looks just like a twix wrapper. When it’s back in stock I will link to it for you.

I absolutely adore Twix bars they’re one of my secret vices – a Twix finger and a big mug of tea is one of the perfect morning teas in my opinion!

Dressing up as a Twix chocolate bar is certainly an intriguing idea and it’s great that there are two different types of Twix costume to choose from – the sexy Twix bar designed for a woman who hasn’t eaten as many Twixes in her life as I have and the Twix wrapper costume – which is your favorite?

Snickers Candy Bar Costumes

If you believe that nothing satisfies like a Snickers bar then this is the fancy dress outfit for you ……. but which option to go for?

Starburst Candy Costumes

A Bright & Fun Outfit!

Skittles Candy Costumes

Bowl People Over With These Fancy Dress Costumes

What a deliciously funny costume a Skittles candy costume is – choose from a sexy Skittles costume and a Skittles wrapper costume this Halloween.

M&Ms Group Costume Idea

Who doesn’t like M&M candy? They’re simply delicious, they are also a great idea for a group costume as you can dress up as your favorite M&M from Red to Green, Blue and Yellow. I’ve got costumes that you can buy further down the page or you could even try and make your own.

I saw a group of girls dressed up as M&Ms a few years ago – they all wore black leggings and a black skivvy and then they had what looked like tunic dresses over the top that looked like it had elastic put into the bottom hem so that it gave them the appropriate looking shape.

Different M&M Wrapper Costumes

Everyone has their favorite M&Ms and you can choose which one you prefer and come as that, personally I love the plain M&Ms, but my best friend prefers the peanut variety.

Unfortunately none of the wrapper style M&M costumes seem to be available this year, but I’ll keep my eye out and add them when they’re back in stock.

Choose Your M&M Costume – Red, Blue, Yellow…..

I love this style of M&M fancy dress outfits whether you buy a ready made one like these or you make your own tunic tops to wear. I think I’d definitely want to be Red and I just so happen to be married to someone who does an amazing Yellow impersonation so methinks we could be the perfect chocolatey couple!

More Halloween Candy Costumes

There are so many different types of candy costumes to choose from and yet we’re still going! I love these costumes although one of my favorite candy bars – the bounty – can’t be found this year 🙁 I’m sure I found one of those costumes last year so if you see any candy costumes around that I haven’t featured please let me know in the guestbook below – thank you.

Tootsie Roll Costumes

Very Yummy Candy Outfits for Halloween!

I do love the Tootsie Roll and not having been brought up in the US I went for half my life not knowing it existed which is a total crime as Americans have been enjoying Tootsie Rolls since 1896.
