What to wear to a fun evening costume party?

[DishLady]

Going to a few seasonal costume parties (one I’m hosting, two I’m attending). I sort of know what I’m wearing but thought it would be funny to find out what you’d suggest. Go for it. :)

Cleopatra (simple off-the-shoulder dress and gold accessories)

1920s “Gatsby” dress (a lot of pearls and accessories)

1940s “Andrews Sisters” khaki skirt suit

1960s Marlo Thomas “That Girl” (cutsie dress).

Simple little black/red dress, minimal accessories (not a costume).

[Curmudgeon]

Definitely "That Girl". And here is the original series pilot!

[DishLady]

Lol. Yeah, you got it.

[spartan55]

What 'season' are we in currently? Winter doldrums?

[DishLady]

It’s a greek thing we do before lent big guy. You should know… you’re the spartan.

[spartan55]

Will they be serving souvlaki?

[spartan55]

Big guy? Ugh... 🙄

[DishLady]

Of course. Souvla with the works!

[DishLady]

Lol.

[spartan55]

Oooopa!

[Didemio]

Absolutely Arya Stark's costume. I am a Game of Thrones fan.

[DishLady]

Aaaah. I confess I don’t remember GOT too much. I just remember “winter is coming”… and it was.

[Didemio]

The North remembers. I have a northern soul, too :))

[queenofcardio]

Is there a theme? What about something like this?

[DishLady]

That’s too short for me, Mama. If I was still in my early 20s perhaps I’d to it. It’s very cute, though. What’s that, “steam punk”?

[AviatorTom]

A woman can never go wrong with a LBD. 😎

How "fun" is this party? Would a G-string and pasties be appropriate? 😉

[OlderAndWiser]

I’d like to see you dressed as a flapper!

[DishLady]

I've done it before, with the long gloves and the pearls and such, lol.

[Ironco]

Go as Sandy from "Grease" in the biker outfit. Easy to make and won't show too much.

Just an idea...

[DishLady]

Hmm. I *do* have the leather jacket for it... But the hair. My goodness.

[Anonymous]

Costume party? You should wear Lara Croft outfit ;)

[DishLady]

I actually could do that! Braid my hair and look badass, lol.

[Anonymous]

Babe you should wear smile & my love
I bet you will look beautiful 🥰

[Spencer10]

Well how about doing a Scooby Doo thing?

[DishLady]

Hah! Scooby Doo gals the skirts are too short for me.

[Spencer10]

Somehow i doubt that... but hey you gotta be comfortable to enjoy the party.

[Spencer10]

What about the retro "June Cleaver" look?

[DishLady]

So June Cleaver and Andrew Sisters is sort of the same thing. But I have long hair so I said Andrew Sisters.

[Spencer10]

OK that makes sense. I do like that. Classy.

[DishLady]

Yeah. Same. :)

[Spencer10]

Too bad its not a Christmas party... do the entire Mrs Grizwald look from Christmas Vacation. I admit to a weakness for Beverly D Angelo ha ha ha

[Spencer10]

Oh one more... what about Mrs Mclane from Die Hard?

[DishLady]

Meh. That perm would kill me — or I’d have to get a wig. Too complicated.

I can do Josie and the Pussycats, but I did that for Halloween.

[Spencer10]

Yeah the perm is important...

[DishLady]

Or Sophia Loren in “It Started in Naples” 😂😂😂

[Spencer10]

Princess Grace perhaps as well?

[DishLady]

Booo. Not princess Grace… I’m conservative but can’t to the upright thing properly.

[DishLady]

Lapsed pageant mom perhaps, haha.

[Daytoday79]

Cleopatra is regal 🙂

[exitseven]

How about a gorrilla suit?

[DishLady]

Me? I’d be swimming in it. Also I’m honestly just trying to pull a dress/suit out of my closet and spruce it up with minor accessories.

[Mark987]

what's the theme?
