Fancy Dress Ideas Starting with I

Have you ever been to an alphabet party? When I was in my early 20s they were all the rage, somehow everytime I was invited to one it was always a P party which meant dressing up as something beginning with the letter P. You can choose any letter of the alphabet however and today I’ve chosen the letter I.

Fancy dress parties or costume parties are so much more fun when they’re themed, but you don’t always want to have an 80s party or a dazzling 1920s event. When it comes to the letter I you can dress up as things such as an ice cream, iron man or even Indiana Jones!

Costumes Beginning with I – The List!

Icarus
Ice Cream Costumes -Who doesn’t love ice cream? I know personally I love it in a myriad of flavors, but as a costume? Well it didn’t cross my mind until I was thinking of things that started with I, luckily other people had already thought of ice cream costumes as you can see from the selection below –

Ice Cream Cone Costume Set – One Size Rasta Imposta Ice Cream Sundae, Multi, One Size

Ice Queen
Icon – this could be a physical icon such as the Statue of Liberty or Eiffel Tower or it could mean an icon of the silver screen like Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn or even pop icons like Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson or Madonna or sporting icons……it almost gives you carte blanche!
Imp
Imperial Guard – The Imperial Guard is one of the many types of soldiers from Star Wars, and although probably not a first choice for a costume idea, it wouldn’t be too hard to do. I don’t know about your group of friends, but I’ve found in most there’s at least one person who always wants to have a Star Wars themed costume, so they’ll be happy!
Incredible Hulk – This costume has seen a surge in popularity since the Avenger’s movie franchise started up again. I’ve been a fan of the Hulk since the television program and love the costumes that you can now get that include the chest torso, although the sizes do seem to be on the small side by all accounts so get one early in case you need to change sizes.

Incredibles – The Incredibles costumes gives you a chance to become Mr and Mrs Incredible if you want a couples costume for an ‘I’ party or even a whole super hero family if you’re after a group costume idea.
Indian – From the old fashioned name for a Native American to Raj from The Big Bang Theory there’s a few different twists you can make on this costume idea.
Indiana Jones
Inspector Gadget – You can get a ready to wear costume or compile your own – a grey trench coat, fedora hat and neat black shoes is the start. Then you just have to work out how to add some gadget detailing to the hat, personally I’d get a ready made costume, but I know a coupld of people who would love spending the time creating and Inspector Gadget hat!
Invisible Woman – Invisible Woman is one of the Fantastic Four, who can turn her body invisible, now I’m not sure how you’d manage that for a fancy dress event, but you could wear a blue jumpsuit with a ‘4’ logo on the front as in the movies she wears these – they’re also available as an official Marvel Comics costume.
Irish Leprechaun
Iron Man – Since Robert Downey Jr first pulled on the Iron Man suit this superhero has never been more popular, there’s also an updated version of the Iron Man costume after every movie!

Halloween Costume Ideas – Costumes Beginning with H

Posted on December 10, 2012 by Lou

Costumes Starting with H

If you’re looking for some awesome costume ideas that start with the letter H then you’ve come to the right place. There are Humpty Dumpty costumes available alongside Halo costumes and more besides.

I love fancy dress parties/events, but I love them even more when they’re themed and one of my favorite type of themes is the alphabet party theme. You take a letter of the alphabet (in this case H) and everyone has to dress as something beginning with that letter. If you’re thinking of hosting an H party or you’ve been invited to one then this is a great webpage for inspiration………or to buy your costume if you fall in love with one.

Costume Ideas That Begin With the Letter H

Halo Master – Created by Microsoft this X-Box game series has taken the gaming world by storm so it’s hardly surprising that you can now get Halo costumes.
Hamlet – From the Shakespeare play, this is an opportunity to wear a Tudor themed costume (Elizabethan is the ‘look’ that Hamlet usually boasts).
Hangman – Simply don a long black robe with a full face hood for this creepy look. Just remember the hangman was always anonymous so make sure you stay covered up or their may be a lynch mob after you!

Hans Solo – There’s always a Star Wars fan somewhere so I’m glad I’ve got a costume that begins with H just for them!

Halo Master Chief Costume Harajuku Girl Adult Costume

Harajuku Girl – This is a really fun and funky costume idea that I can imagine would be very popular. There are actually four Harajuku Girls that perform with Gwen Stefani which means that this could also be a great idea for a group costume.
Harem Girl – Wear a belly dancer outfit and make sure your eyes look smouldering.
Hari Krishna – This costume can be worn by one person or by a group of people, just add a tamborine to the long orange robes so that you can chant and dance in style.

Harry Potter – The wizard of Hogwarts fame, this is a very popular costume idea for the letter H

Haunted Tree – You can see this costume above and I have to say I think it’s a highly original costume idea that brings a whole new meaning to the words Halloween Tree!

He Man – From cartoon fame comes this hero with bulging muscles/
Headless Horseman – I fell in love with this costume the first time I saw it (a number of years ago) and I still love it!

Hello Kitty

Men’s Headless Horseman Costume Highway Patrol Costume

Henry VIII – One of the most famous of the Tudor Kings.
Hercules – Hercules was the son of Zeus and a mortal woman, but he’s best remembered in mythology for the Labors of Hercules – 12 tasks he was sent on by the Oracle of Delphi.
Herman Munster – From the famous 1960s television show, The Munsters, this costume is instantly recognizable as the show has a cult following.
Hermoine Granger – A Muggle born student from Hogwarts and one of Harry Potter’s best friends.
Highway Man – I grew up on tales of highway men like Dick Turpin and then along came the ‘camp’ version from Adam and the Ant’s music video Stand and Deliver!
Highway Patrol – This costume always makes me think of the old television show CHiPs with Ponch and John.
Hippie – This is a fun costume idea and can be worn by men or females alike as there are lots of different hippie costumes.

Hippie Costume, Rainbow, Holly Golightly Costume

Holly Golightly – Audrey Hepburn’s most iconic character from the movie Breakfast at Tiffanys.
Homer Simpson – The patriarch of television’s The Simpsons, make sure you can say ‘Doh!’ before dressing up as Homer!
Hot Dog – You can get a fun hot dog costume, if you want to go as a couple one of you can dress up as a hot dog and one of you can dress up as a hot dog vendor.
Hulk – The Incredible Hulk – green, big angry….need I say anymore?
Humpty Dumpty – I have found some great Humpty Dumpty costumes available over the years and it’s certainly a cool costume idea.
Hunchback of Notre Dame – My hubby dressed up as the Hunchback a number of years ago and he had great fun ‘lurching’ about, but a word of warning his back was quite sore the next day!

I hope you have fun dressing up in something beginning with H and hopefully we’ve helped you come up with an awesome costume idea.

Costumes Beginning with D

Posted on September 3, 2012 by Lou

Fancy Dress Outfits Starting with the Letter D

If you’re looking for costume ideas that start with the letter D then you’ve come to the right place as I have selected some great costumes for you to choose from. Star Wars fans will love to see that Darth Vader is available while Scooby fans can enjoy dressing up as Daphne, but there are many other costumes to choose from besides those.

I compiled this page along with a number of others as resource pages for anyone who’s been invited to an alphabet party. I used to get invited to a lot of alphabet parties when I was in my 20s and I think it’s high time they caught on again! In a nutshell you have to dress up as something beginning with a particular letter and if you’re on this webpage then the letter chosen is the letter D! I have other webpages available that cover the rest of the letters of the alphabet, but let’s look at costumes beginning with D right now.

Cool Costumes Beginning with D

Dad’s Army – costumes based on this old British television comedy about the Home Guard during the war would be good and you could use this as a group costume idea as well.
Daenerys Targaryen – the Mother of Dragons is a great costume idea.
Daffy Duck
Dairymaid
Daisy Duke
Dalai Lama
Dalek – having grown up with the Classic Dr Who, I love the idea of going around saying ‘Exterminate, Exterminate’ all night!
Dallas Cowboy or even a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader
Dalmation
Dame Edna Everage
Dancers – A great costume idea that starts with D is a dancer and this is where you can have a lot of fun because there are so many interpretations of dancers from ballerinas to a hip-hop dancers and more. There really are lots of different ideas that you can use for this brief from Morris dancers to dancers from Greece, Tibet or more in traditional costume.

Danny – from the cult hit musical Grease

Dart Board – there is a ready-made dart board costume available to buy, but this one is pretty easy to make yourself by getting some cardboard and cutting out two circles to stick on your t-shirt or jumper – one on the front with the Dart Board marked out and one on the back that you can keep plain black as the back of the board.
Darth Maul
Darth Vader – I love the idea of dressing up as Darth Vader just so that I can put on his voice with the only phrase I can ever remember of his – Luke, I am your father!
David Bowie – there are so many different costumes you can do for David Bowie from Ziggy Stardust to his Just Dance era or Labyrinth to Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and many more.
Davy Crockett

Day of the Dead Costumes

Day of the Dead costumes.
Dead Costumes – Now I know what you’re thinking – dead isn’t a costume! It is, however a cool idea, especially with the continued popularity of shows such as The Walking Dead. You dress up as a Dead Bride, Dead Groom, Dead Cheerleader, Dead Cowboy, you get the idea. A cool idea is to take the costume you wore last time you had a fancy dress event and basically ‘trash it’, roll around on the grass, smudge it with dirt and maybe rip it a little until it looks like it could’ve been dug up and say you’re a dead fill in the blank..Alternatively, you can just buy a ready-made costume like the ones below or check out some of the ideas on other posts such as zombie costumes for men, zombie costumes for women, zombie costumes for boys or zombie costumes for girls.

Dentist
Detective – just wear your own clothes and carry a badge, you could say you’re undercover. Alternatively, dress up as one of the famous detectives from Poirot to Sherlock Holmes.
Devil
Dexter
(Princess) Diana
Diana Ross
Dick Dastardly
Dictator
Dinosaur
Disco – Dancers or Ball. There are lots of disco dancer costumes available to buy or you may be able to raid your grandparents (or parents) wardrobes for some cool clothes to put together an outfit. Another idea is to just go as a disco ball.
Dipsy – One of the teletubbies.
Disney Costumes – You could dress up as a Disney Princess, Disney Fairy or just about any Disney character actually and then when people say something like why are you dressed as Lilo or Ollie the Pig you can look at them with a withering stare and say actually I’m dressed as a Disney character!

Druid
Drummer – just carry drum sticks if you’ve run out of time to get a costume made, alternatively dress up as a famous drummer.
Drum Majorette
Drunk – A drunk could be a very fun costume idea and great as a last-minute outfit. Basically, you can wear anything, but carry an empty glass or bottle and bump into lots of things slurring your words at the same time.
Duff Beer
Dumbledore
Dummy – from a crash test dummy to a shop mannequin
Dunce – all you need to do is wear a school uniform and make yourself a hat with a D on it.
