Choosing a fancy dress Sydney can be difficult if you do not know what to look for. From finding the right costume to clever makeup tips, here are some effective tips for choosing the right costume for your needs.
Read the fine print
You should know what costume accessories and pieces you are getting before purchasing. You should buy from a vendor that lists all the details and accessories included in the pack so that there are no nasty surprises. Some vendors post costumes online with some great accessories but when you receive the package, you find no accessories and when you go back to read the details, you realise that the accessories were not included in the package. You end up feeling robbed. It is therefore crucial to know everything included in the package.
Predict the weather
Before buying a costume, you should think about what the weather will be like when you will wear the costume. Tights and leotards help small girls stay warm underneath skirted costumes. For girls or boys, long-sleeved t-shirts under their costumes give them an additional layer of warmth.
Choose the right size
You should keep in mind that the size of a costume should be slightly bigger than the normal cloth size. For any costume, the sizes of women are usually based on dress sizes and men’s sizes are based on jacket sizes.
Buy early
Purchase your costumes online early. Do not wait until the last minute to buy a costume, especially if you are buying it online. Make sure you calculate the age of the baby with what they will be on Halloween if you are buying a costume for your baby. Always buy based on the expected size of the baby when they will wear the costume and not their current age.
Try it on
You should take the costume out of the bag before the day you wish to wear it. This way, you will know whether the costume fits or not. Iron or steam the costume before putting it on. You should treat your costume like an outfit for a very special event.
Consider the makeup
Before buying a costume, you should consider whether you will need to wear makeup for the costume. If yes, you should ask your vendor whether they have the right makeup to complement the costume. If not, find somewhere else to buy appropriate makeup and try it on before the day you wish to wear the costume.
Accessorise
You should accessorise your costume to add variety. You need to add a hat or gloves to your costume to make the same Halloween costume look different from one night to the next night. Adding different accessories to your costume is a less expensive alternative than purchasing two costumes.
Always practice in advance
Purchase enough makeup for your fancy dress Sydney to do it twice. Do a practice run with the makeup and costume before Halloween to ensure that the costume and makeup looks good on you before Halloween.
