Fancy dress ideas

Miss Marple?

Feathered hat, cardigan and handbag….

Cruella de Ville ? Long black dress, black and white boa, cheap black and white wig and something that looks like a long cigarette holder.

Brilliant both ideas!

If you have lovely white hair, perhaps style as Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth. Wear a "crown" and carry a handbag.

Bonus: a corgi or Paddington Bear.

Professor Sprout as acted by Miriam Margolees- from ‘Harry Potter’ ?

Sorry X post, I typed but didn't post because I was looking IP pictures 🙂

up .....

My first idea was Professor Sprout too, but there was a small stout very charming lady, I can neither remember her name or the character's in "Tea with Mussolini" the version with Maggie Smith if there are more than one versions of that film.

Or if you would rather be less lovable: stick with Harry Potter but go as Dolores Umbridge!

Minnie Mouse? Mouse ears headband, big red bow, red n white spotted dress. Or Judi Dench as M in James Bond.

I think it needs to be something quite obvious as some quite nice ideas won't work so well for an 18 year old (and anyone younger)

Men in black , just needs black trousers , white shirt and jacket plus dark glasses .

Ditto for the blues brothers .

I have a mini the minx outfit I drag out when I’m prevailed upon to dress up. Black beret, red and black striped jumper or tee shirt, red ribbons in my hair and red socks.
I look ridiculous but that’s the point!

What about Gangsta Granny?

Vera?

Boudicca (grab a bin lid and throw a sheepskin rug over your shoulder) plus wild wig😁
Brittania?

I agree, or you’ll end up all evening explaining who you are.

I was thinking that too

Mary Poppins is an easy one. Gladstone bag, traditional umbrella, jacket, long skirt and a hat.

Thanks for the inspiration. I’m tempted by a few of them but it will have to be something very obvious so that, as some have already said, I don’t spend all the time explaining who I am.
