Guest Post: Making Your Own Bachelorette Party Costumes

So you want to make your bachelorette party a night of good fun and frolics, fancy dress and fizzy wine? A night out is expensive enough on its own, without spending a tonne on a fancy dress outfit that you will probably only wear one time. A lot of girls like to co-ordinate their outfits when they have a themed bachelorette party, but do not necessarily want to look identical. A good way to get hold of some matching outfits that all have their own individual twist is to make them yourselves. This could even be an activity as part of your bridal shower or a good girls night in making your costumes for your bachelorette party, or hen party as the Brits call it.

Tutus

Some cute easy to make outfits are tutus. These can be worn over some leggings or hosiery and can look quite sexy too, just make sure these skirts are not too short! To make a tutu, you do not have to be a master seamstress. All you need is a few lengths of different coloured netting which is a couple of dollars a metre from the fabric store. Lay two or 3 lengths on top of each other; stitch some elastic around the top edge and then sew the two ends together and you have a skirt! Each girl can have their own different colours. 

Angel costumes

Angel costumes are fairly simple to make too. Take a couple of light weight wire coat hangers and bend them into wing shapes, and twist them together. You can then wrap lengths of tinsel around the wire to make the glittery shape of the wings.  To wear your wings, tie 2 large loops of elastic securely around the middle of the wings, so that you can stretch the elastic over your arms and onto your should like a satchel bag. Make a halo by wrapping some tinsel around an Alice band. 

Cat costumes

Dress as some cute little kitties by simply using a pair of black pantyhose, some black felt and an alice band. Cut the panthose in half so that the legs are separated. Stuff one of the legs with some newspaper or old rags, and tie it at the end. This is your tail, which you can pin on to the back of your pants or skirt. To make your ears, you will need to cut out some felt triangles and stitch these onto the alice band in a way that they will stay standing upright. You can get creative with some kohl liner drawing whiskers on your face for a cute finish.
