Froglet Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 I have been invited to a New Year's Eve party at which there is fancy dress. I have no problem with dressing up, no problem with looking silly but I have lots of problems coming up with ideas! So, I thought I'd see if any of you lovely, creative people have any?! There is no particular theme - the people I'm going with are going as Indiana Jones, Princess Leia and someone from Baywatch. So, any suggestions... I have been told that the fancy dress isn't compulsory - I could just go in a "wild shirt" if I wanted to but I'm really touched that I was invited and would like to make an effort! Quote
Melba Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 How about a minion from Despicable Me. You have to minions! 1 Quote
Froglet Posted December 22, 2013 Author Posted December 22, 2013 I like that idea - especially as one of the people going is my HT and I am, therefore, one of his minions! 3 Quote
garrison Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 go on amazon and type in fancy dress - you will get loads of ideas on there 1 Quote
finleysmaid Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 you could attach three letters BEN in large print...then you could go as BIG BEN! 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Do you need me to send the balaclava back - let me know - it can only be a loan as I am very attached to it! Quote
Panders Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 May be Cait will lend you her flippers and snorkel outfit to go with the balaclava (you do look so good it that sunnyday) 3 Quote
Froglet Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 Sunnyday - I wouldn't dream of it! You'll need it for your own New Year's do won't you? I'm touched that you'd offer though! If I do go as a minion maybe I should knit myself a yellow balaclava! I'm still really liking the minion idea although I have no idea how I'd do it. Have got my brother and his girlfriend on the case too. She once went as R2D2 and looked amazing! Panders - thanks for the suggestion - I'll bear it in mind! 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Have to say I felt an overwhelming sense of relief - really couldn't see how I could get through Christmas and New Year without the balaclava - was having to re-think my planned outfits........ If the weather forecast is to be believed - I may have to borrow Cait's wet weather gear :blink: Quote
Cait Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 If the weather forecast is to be believed - I may have to borrow Cait's wet weather gear :blink: I may have to get you your own set! Looks like I will be needing it! Do you want thermal? Pink or grey? Perfect ten? Oh and a hat to hold on to! Crikey! According to xc weather we will wake up to ten centimetres of the white stuff tomorrow! And there's a hole in the preschool roof thanks to the high winds! 1 Quote

Hmmm - perfect 10 - yeah in my dreams! :blink: Thermal - no not needed - I have my thermal sarong that Helen so kindly made me - purple please to go with the balaclava :1b Good luck with the 'white stuff' - oh and the pre-school roof - nightmare Quote
Froglet Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 Hope you all stay safe and warm in this weather. My current thoughts on the fancy dress front are going as a snowflake - I love cutting out snowflakes and could just cut lots and lots to stitch all over a white t-shirt and skirt/trousers. Could make a fancy snowflake headdress too and get some silver glitter out as I'm not sure we used enough before Christmas. What do you think? Cait - sorry to hear about the roof! Hope you can get it fixed quickly. Quote
Panders Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Well I think that sounds delightful I was looking at snowflake designs on google the other night and they show how to make quite intricate ones. As long as there are. No icicle drips from the end of your nose brilliant. Quote

Cait Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 As long as your snowflakes have multiples of six points! I'm a bit OCD about that and freak out a bit when I see them made with eight. A big like hearing 'koala bear'. (Shudders!!!) Quote
Froglet Posted December 23, 2013 Author Posted December 23, 2013 Don't worry Cait - I shall check that specially for you! Actually, I don't often make snowflakes with my class for that very reason! 1 Quote
Panders Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 Of course you could goes as ghost of Christmas past wear a stained tablecloth bits of old Christmas tree stuck on - you get the idea... Quote
