Penneys would be my first stop for one:)

Thanks. Tried them but they were only selling some plain boring ties.

Try Wild Child in George's Street Arcade. My friend got some cool leather ties in there recently, really cheap!

Basically I have Black Shirt,White tie,flashlight for the mangina! so far,gonna wear white socks instead of white boots so need help with the rest if ye can!
The remaining components are a sorta silver sparkly jacket,a pink tutu,green leggings and maybe a greenish wig(probably just make something out of crepe paper if I have to).

Anyone gone as Old Gregg before or have any tips!?

No-one!?

It'll be off into ladies shops for you

I think Dunnes have sparkly silver bomber jackets at the moment. If not Penneys defo have sparkly silver blazers, bit different to the ones in that photo but still sparkly. They'd both be sequinny rather than plain old sparkly

For a tutu you might have some luck in an emo type shop, I know h&m have tutus (in their 'Divided' range) but they're more floaty than sticky outy and in pastel colours. You might be best going into a fabric shop and getting the pink netting and some elastic and using a staple gun to create your own tutu.

Green leggings- try Penneys, New Look, No Name, possibly AWear (and they're selling off all their summer stuff now as well). American Apparel definitely have them but they're quite spensive in there

Larianne · 30-10-2009 12:05am

There's different coloured tutus in No Name in Stephen's Green S.C.

Aoifums · 30-10-2009 1:16am

Sorry if anyone has asked this before, but I'm going as Wally, from Where's Wally. I have the hat (well sorta), jeans and shoes. I spent hours looking for a stripey top or jumper.

Does anyone know where I can get one? I looked in Dunnes, Penneys and H&M. In the girls and guys section. And I still can't find anything

Looking for accessories for a WW1 pilot costume namely a handlebar moustache or one of the era and pipe. Can anyone suggest a place?

FuzzyFrog · 30-10-2009 11:09am

Too late to order online at this stage but all the pound shops are doing the same costumes for a lot cheaper €15-€20, pirate costumes are pretty mainstream so likely on stock.

Hi all,

Ok I know what I'm going as but I need help on the finer details. I'm going as a Killer Bee, which basically involves dressing up as a bee and then accessorising with a gun, fingerless gloves, possibly a holster, but what else would you guys suggest to add to the Killer part??

paint two black stripes on either cheek, soldier/american football style. Maybe a bullet belt.

Myself and a friend have just decided to go out!! Any ideas on what to dress up as and being as cheap as possible

Babies. penneys are selling onesies for like 6 quid. Or use what you already have, angels/devils using white/red/black clothing.

insert-gear · 30-10-2009 1:30pm

Also claires accessories in stephens green have neon green tutus for a tenner

candysapple · 30-10-2009 2:44pm

Saw em in the Pound shop at Ilac/Moore st yday.. came in a set of 5 moustaches, one of them being a huge handlebar one, for 2quid

Not sure bout the pipe-theres a shop near Lush at the Molly Malone that sells pipes, but theyre proper ones an a lil pricey for a costume probably

Hope that helps

My Halloween plans have changed last minute. I have a sexy FBI costume but now Im going to a party where you have to dress up as someone from a Horror film. Its too late to change my costume so Im trying to think of a horror film with FBI agent/ cop or how I can swing it my way! Was thinking even being a zombie cop with a gun shot or something?? Can anyone help and think of a movie I could be from?

Thanks

coolguy · 31-10-2009 12:01pm

I bought white face make-up for my costume.
How do you apply make-up?

Any suggestions what shade i should get?
Any other suggestions ?

I pretty much have to do the white face and all that being a zombie tonight

There are loads of videos on t'internet to show you how to make it look good. I couldn't get any liquid latex for making me look more dead and cut up though

Edit: geeky joke time, my post count doesn't exist!
