Fancy Dress On A Budget… Our Favourite Childhood Movies

So everyone is a little strapped for cash, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good time. Halloween is just around the corner, so we have decided to share some fantastic costume ideas with you, that won’t break the bank. You’re going to love us even more after this series of costume ideas... Hocus Pocus Our favourite witches from the greatest Halloween movie ever, the amazing Sanderson sisters a.k.a. Sinead Mc Donald, Shelley Ryan and Stevi Russell, who sent us in this image last year. The capes are the key here. The right hair styling and make up (not forgetting the beauty spots), and you’re well on your way. Wednesday Addams Long sleeved black dress, the collar can be sewn on or you can always pop a white shirt underneath if needs be. Pale make up or a touch of white face paint, finished of with the signature plaited pigtails. Remember, no smiling! Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs A very tall tale: who ever said Snow White had to be a woman? If you find yourself sitting around trying to come up with an outfit last minute, why not phone a friend. A really tall friend and call on them to fulfil the duties of Snow White for the evening. All you'll need is six other pals, colourful top, santa hats and a cotton wool beard! 101 Dalmations Ladies, it’s another dash to Penny’s to invest in a pair of white tights or leggings and white long-sleeve top. Grab yourself a bit of black paint and a brush to colour on the spots. Make sure to cover your modesty with a pair of black shorts or skirt. Finish the look with a bit of white face paint and black eyeliner. Mary Poppins Look completely supercalifragilistucexpialidocious in this outfit. A black skirt, tight and boots, teamed up with a white blouse is the simple bit. The accessories: Red bowtie, Black hat dressed with flowers, gloves, and an umbrella. And of course the largest bag you can get your hands on. To read the full outfit post on the costume pictured above click here. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Turtle shells: Spray disposable aluminium baking trays with some green paint, using black paint to add detail. Attach straps by piercing tiny holes in the trays and knotting laces through. Then it’s a simple as choosing which turtle you want to be and make sure the colour of the band correlates. ET Sheer genius! A red zip-up top, a piece of card, some artistic skills and a small crate... Sorted! Harry & Marv - Home Alone This is just too uncanny.
