How to wear this dress as fancy dress? - April 9th 2011, 09:40 PM

I got this dress and wore it a few times but I didn't love it.

I am now going to a fancy dress party and thought it would be easier and cheaper to use something I already own.
With this dress I was thinking sailor girl fancy dress as it is navy blue and white but other than white knee high socks and a sailor hat like this,


I don't know what to do to make it stand out as a sailor costume.

I don't mind spending a bit of money and I am also pretty good at sewing if it is required. I am not to fussed about the dress so I don't mind cutting and sewing it.

You could perhaps use some accessories like an anchor necklace or something similar? Also, a neck tie and some white gloves?

I had a look at some sailor costumes and most of them just have a dress, hat and knee high socks so I don't think it needs much else to make it stand out.

I have found this site which has knee high socks with anchors on them and hair bows with anchors on them
http://dunbarcostumes.co.uk/acatalog...Stockings.html

and then I have fount this set of hat and scarf
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adult-Sailor...2426716&sr=8-1

Aaazon has anchor jewellery and belts which is all pretty cheap.

I think with all of that most people will get that it is a sailor costume.

Yeah with all that I'm fairly sure people will be able to tell.

And your weapon is your voice
Let’s make a new tomorrow
