Want to win a fancy dress competition? Here's how

By Lisa West


Are you attending a friend's fancy dress party? At these kinds of events, it doesn't really matter how good your costume is, even if there is a prize. After all, fancy dress parties are supposed to be fun, and it's the joining in that counts. However, at large events where big prizes are given for the best fancy dress costumes, you may want to put a bit more effort into what you wear.

To win a fancy dress costume competition, you need to wear something that is truly original. You should research the theme thoroughly to give yourself some ideas and try to choose something that is sparklingly original and that no one else has done before.

Judges at fancy dress costume competitions may also consider the quality of your costume, as in how well you've actually pulled it off. Make sure your costume looks like the character or object you based it on and that it is as impressive as possible.

It isn't necessary to spend a small fortune in order to win a fancy dress costume competition. In fact, it is often the entrants who spend the most time and effort on their costumes that are most rewarded by competition judges.

It is good to aim for a professional finish on your fancy dress costume, but you should still keep an air of fun about it too. After all, fancy dress by its very nature is about having fun, and the judges at your competition will know this.

In the heat of the competition, you could find yourself taking it far too seriously. Remember that fancy dress competitions are supposed to be about taking part and having a blast, so try to enjoy yourself when making and wearing your fancy dress costume. After all, this is the whole point of the event - not just to hand out prizes.
