Fancy Dress

Ok - tough one this - I want to go as Prince (the artist) to a fancy dress party next month.




is the look I want - any ideas on where/how etc???

Already tried ebay and fancy dress shops - nothing at all in the fancy dress shops and purple suits on ebay not right and cost a bomb.

Ooooo all good fun! I love fancy dress, maybe not the right thing to say on here lol!

Anyway, your local theatre should have some sort of costume a bit like that ...

Erm not actually sure, what I'd do is ring them up and ask! I imagine different companies will have different rules though!

Failing that - Textiles / Fashion Design Students ...

If all else fails you could always ask Hoops for a costume

If I start hanging around colleges etc looking for fashion students - I may just get arrested
