Well 2 fancy dress occassions spring to mind - one tarts and vicars and we all met up at a hotel in Coleshill. People's faces when they saw a crowd of us walk in lol. I had a short skirt on blonde wig, black stockings and high heeled shoes . plus loads of makeup. The other was a Hawian party - grass skirt - hired for the occassion - black low t shirt and garland of flowers - being on the large size you cannot imagine what I looked like. If I remember right had to have 2 grass skirts - lol. Hubby bought a t shirt he would not be seen dead in!!! Both good parties tho. Mary in Spain

I went to a fancy dresss do with just a peice of sandpaper placed in a delicate spot ......i won first prize as a rough Handful .......thing is i went as Dick Emery

oh went to a vicar and tarts party with some of his work mates,the men all dressed up as tarts,stockings,basques etc. one bloke was so convincing that he got chatted up by a bloke at the bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to one recently as the Sugar Plum fairy!! all 13 stone of me! Had a knee length skirt -browncotton with cerise and green flowers and sequins (sale bargain from Bon M) and added a layer of cerise net over the skirt. Wore green fairy wings, and a cerise tiara, and a brown top with lots of glittery jewellery and a necklace made of wrapped sweets (sugarplums). Oh and a wand! Only problem was I threaded the sweets on silver elasticated thread and they were so heavy they hung down to my middle, as I gave them away it got lighter tho. O.h. hired the Fred Flintstone outfit from a costume shop and looked so odd with the wig on, I hadn't ever seen him with so much hair, he is quite bald now.

Went to an army party and OH said why dont you go in stockings, basque, high boots etc, he said I wouldnt dare! Well.......... I did lol! He didnt complain though!!! Caz xxxxxxx

I can't remember the prize Muffy, but I still have the picture of me cuddled up to the winning guy ;-))) I guess that is what I would go as even now, but some would say I should be on my broomstick ;-)))))

lol Dee, what was the prize ??? Oh and don't forget the other part of this fess up thread, the fancy dress costume that would reflect the REAL you. I am still thinking............

Hi Muffy, it's me again ;-))) I went to a dinner dance once dressed as a 1920’s flapper. Complete with feather boa and cigarette holder (mind you I didn't smoke) I won the first prize, I remember being really chuffed ;-))))

Reserved for board of shame xx

The subject for todays ( late - sorry) board of shame is FANCY DRESS if a fancy dress costume could reflect the REAL you what would it be? or have you ever been to one and had something funny happen or did you make a big mistake with your choice of costume. As always - I won't tell a soul xx
