Pantomime Costumes – The run-up to Christmas also sees the start of the Panto season and if you want to give your kids a special treat, and treat yourself at the same time, it doesn’t get much better than Pantomime. For many of us parents this rare visit to the theatre as a child was one of the highlights of the festive season and perhaps sparked our interest in more serious theatre as adults.

Forget the computer, Pantomime is interactive story telling at its very best. All of the children’s favorite stories come to life right there on the stage in front of them – Cinderella, Snow White, Jack and the Beanstalk, Mother Goose, Aladdin, Dick Whittington, Little Red Riding Hood and many more.

Pantomime costumes for adults are an increasingly popular genre in Christmas fancy dress, with outfits for the heroes and villains from many of the Pantomime stories, as well as, of course, Pantomime Dame costumes. You should be able to find a Panto costume for your own favorite character, but unfortunately there are not that many Panto fancy dress yet available for children.

Red Riding Hood Fancy Dress Outfit

Pantomime Costume

In this somewhat provocative Red Riding Hood costume you’ll need to be on your guard, so ignore the whistles and be wary of the wolf – you know what happened to granny!

Of course, if you are out to enjoy yourself, taking a little risk may add some spice to your evening, and not all wolves will necessarily want to eat you.

You may also take comfort from knowing that a strong and handsome huntsman is waiting in the wings to come to your rescue, or is that just in fairy tales?

Snow White Fancy Dress Outfit

Snow White Fancy Dress Outfits

There are easier ways to find your Prince Charming than getting dressed up and laying yourself out in a glass display cabinet to wait for him to pass by. You need to be just a little more proactive.

Put this very becoming Snow White costume on and circulate at the Christmas office ball and both charming and smarmy princes will be tripping over themselves to ask for the last dance.

Look out for the less than beautiful office “Queen” though, particularly if she is handing out tasty tidbits.

The Ugly Sisters Costume

The Ugly Sisters Outfit

Sorry ladies, though very fetching, this one is not for you but for the (very butch) man in your life.

You may need to persuade him a little (I’d be a little worried if he gives in too easily) but I’m sure that once he sees himself dressed up in this Ugly Sisters fancy dress outfit he’ll get to like his feminine side. To be on the safe side, tell him it’s just for the party and that you don’t expect to see him washing up and doing the housework in it.

If he doesn’t fancy himself in purple then there is an equally retching, sorry, I meant to say fetching, dress in yellow.

The Smarmy Prince Costume

The Smarmy Prince Outfit

Guys, dressed in this Smarmy Prince costume you will have a legitimate excuse to chase all the leading ladies at the office party (and if you happen to be the MD, why bother dressing up, you don’t need an excuse). If you get in before Prince Charming arrives there may be just a slim opportunity for you to impress.

Of course, it’s almost guaranteed that you will fail, as most of the ladies will want to be charmed, not “smarmed”. If you happen to have a big expense account though then some ladies may observe the one similarity in “charming” and “smarmy” (arm), but don’t count on it.

Never mind, I’m sure that at least one of the Ugly Sisters will welcome any attention you give her (or him) so you both at least get a consolation prize.

Christmas Morphsuits – If you are fit, foolhardy, fun-loving, or just plain foolish, you may want to consider a more dramatic change to your Christmas fancy dress this year and opt for a Morphsuit.

The Morphsuit is becoming increasingly popular, at sporting occasions, festivals, parties and stag and hen nights, and there are a number of Christmas Morphsuits that are suitable for the coming festive season.

In a Christmas Morphsuit, if you’ve got “it’ you can flaunt “it”, but you don’t need to be super fit to wear one. Of course, if your main objective is to attract and impress the opposite sex then being well toned may be a prerequisite, but if you are just out to have fun then forget the spare tyre and go for it. Indeed, if you opt for a Santa Morphsuit or a Snowman Morphsuit that extra belly will be a positive advantage!

An alternative to a themed Morphsuit is the Original Morphsuit, which comes in various colours including red, green, gold and silver, all of which can be “dressed-up” with accessories from one of the Christmas Fancy Dress Accessories shops.

Santa Morphsuit

The current image of Father Christmas is a fat, jolly old man with a long white beard dressed in a red suit, but this image is a relatively new one.

The origins of the Father Christmas story are from Europe – Sir or Lord or Father Christmas in England, Sinterklaas in the Netherlands, Kris Kringle in Germany and the Greek Saint Nicholas among them. In fact, those early stories did not have him giving presents out to children, he wasn’t necessarily fat and jolly, and if he ever wore a special outfit it would have been in forest green, not red.

Santa, or Santa Claus, is primarily an American concoction, derived from the various European traditions, much the same as a Hollywood rewrite of history and great literature for the box office. Now Santa, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle etc. are all interchangeable, so we are stuck with a bearded porker in a red, fur trimmed, fancy dress.

And if that is what takes your fancy, we have a wide range of Santa outfits for you to choose from, from the luxurious (and costly) through mid range to the more affordable.

Adult Santa Suit - Crimson Imperial

This deep crimson adult Santa costume is made up of five pieces – the matching jacket, trousers and hat are all trimmed with white fox-like fur, and the large buckled belt and fur trimmed boot tops complete the costume.

The jacket fastens with both zipper and poppers at the front and the trousers are fitted with an elasticated waist.

The beard is not included but there are a large number of beard sets to choose from in the Santa Accessories shop, where you will also be able to find a sack for all the toys you are going to deliver.

The coat is lined and fastens in the front with a zipper and the trousers are fitted with an elasticated waist.

Elves, like fairies, are magical creatures, a part of mythology and folklore, who may act for the good of humans but who may equally act against them.

In early mythology their stature was the same as humans but in modern folklore they are often depicted as a race of little people, with pointed ears and a large nose.

Elves figure prominently in fantasy fiction, films and cartoons – the semi-devine creatures in “The Lord of the Rings”, the house-elves in the Harry Potter story, and Santa’s elves in “Elf”.

Their role in modern day Christmas stories are as Santa’s little helpers, generally dressed in a green tunic, tan trousers and a pointy green or red hat. Their job is to make the toys that Santa delivers to children on Christmas Eve, to look after the reindeer and generally to prepare things for Santa’s once a year sleigh ride. They do the work but who is it that gets all the credit?

If you have the desire to look like an elf then, big or small, male or female, there are lots of elf fancy dress costumes to choose from. And if you’re not lucky enough to have your own pointed ears, you can purchase a set as a “must have” accessory.

Adult Green Elf Costume

Adult Green Elf Costume

Adult Green Elf Costume

This elf doesn’t look like a toymaker so much as a puppet gettings it’s strings pulled, or Dad proving to everyone, once again, that he is not properly equiped to demonstrate the latest dance craze. But whoever said that elves could dance?

There is no guarantee that this adult elf costume will get you the attention you desire from the sexy Miss Santa at the Christmas party, but the hat may just be big enough to pull down and cover your embarrassment when you trip over in those pointy shoes.

This elf fancy dress comprises the long green tunic, edged in gold with white fake fur at collar and cuffs, a large black belt, red trousers, a red and green elf’s hat and a pair of black elf boot covers. It comes in just one size to fit chest to 48 ins, waist to 40 ins and inside leg to 30 ins.

Pointed pixie ears can be purchased as an accessory.

Adult 3 Piece Sexy Snowflake Elf Costume

Adult 3 Piece Sexy Snowflake Elf Costume

Adult 3 Piece Sexy Snowflake Elf Costume

Once again the costumiers have decided to depart from the accepted fantasy image of a character to depict a, well, fantasy image of an elf.

This is no run of the mill elf fancy dress but is in fact a “sexy snowflake” Christmas elf costume. It is doubtful that “snowflake” has any meaning but who can dispute the inclusion of the word “sexy”. It is very unlikely that this would be standard work issue in Santa’s toy factory, but it is sure to go down well at the end of year Christmas bash.

This adult elf costume comprises the green halterneck mini dress, with white trim and snowflake motifs, a green and white fur trimmed shrug and green and white striped stockings. It comes in five sizes.

Also available as accessories are pixie ears and pixie shoes.

Male Deluxe Elf Costume

Is this another good example of Dad doing his best to embarrass the rest of the family at Christmas? He looks as though he may have come from the same mould as Buddy.

But hey, dressing up in silly costumes is all about having fun and if you’re lucky there just may be a sexy elf, or a naughty Miss Santa, who are attracted to stand-up and be laughed at comics.

This deluxe Christmas elf costume is comprised of the green tunic and black belt, red trousers and hat with attached bell and comes in two sizes, Medium and Large. Green elf shoes may be purchased as a separate item.

Mrs Santa Claus appears regularly in modern stories, films and cartoons but she is a relatively new creation, introduced by American authors in the late nineteenth century.

The most famous poem about her is one by Katharine Lee Bates, who wrote the American anthem “America the Beautiful”. This poem, called “Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride”, suggests that Santa is a rather chubby, lazy fellow who leaves his wife Goody to do all the work during the year and then takes all the glory for himself at Christmas time.

The pictures of Mrs Santa are normally of a rotund and rosy cheeked women, much the same as her husband. You do not hear of a Miss Santa in the Christmas stories, so poetic licence comes in to play here, but why pass up the opportunity to showcase some sexy Santa costumes.

So, instead of the Mrs Claus costume we review a Miss Santa costume, and for the more daring a Sexy Santa costume. They may not look quite as homely as the traditional image of Mrs Claus suggests, but who wants to go to a party looking like someone’s favourite aunt? For ladies with a fuller figure there are a number of sexy Santa costumes featured on the Miss Santa Fancy Dress Costumes page (accessed top left).

Naughty North Pole Miss Santa

Naughty North Pole Miss Santa

two sizes: Small, dress sizes 8 to 10, and Medium, dress sizes 12 to 14.

Wearing this Miss Santa costume to the office Christmas party is certain to make any Snowman, Elf or Reindeer that you encounter uncomfortably hot in his more modest outfit.

It is the last thing that your favourite aunt would wear and there is no chance that you will be mistaken for the homely Mrs Clause in this costume.

This sexy Santa costume is less detailed than the Naughty North Pole Miss Santa, as there is no need for a belt or boots, but it still looks great and has the advantage of being more moderately priced.

The Miss Santa costume comprises short sleeved dress, capelet and hat, all trimmed with (fake) fur and comes in three sizes: Small, Medium and Large.

Fever Costume, Santa’s Babe

Mrs Claus costume would definitely be more sedate than this, so it has to be for his “babe” and not his missus.

Fever Costume, Santa's Babe

Those elves would have a hard time concentrating on their toymaking if Mrs Claus went around the factory dressed in this, and it would probably distract the reindeer too. What would happen to Christmas if the presents weren’t ready to deliver on Christmas Eve and the reindeer refused to leave the North pole?

This sexy Santa costume comprises the sleeveless mini dress and belt, the hat and long glovettes and comes in three sizes: Small – 6 to 8, Medium – 10 to 12 and Large – 12 to 14.

You may want to consider purchasing as accessories red fishnet tights and white boot cuffs to complete the outfit

In the west we tend to think of angels as being tall and beautiful human like creatures with wings and halos, who radiate goodness and great power and are able to travel between the spirit world and Earth.

The word angel is derived from the Greek word “angelos” which means “messenger” and often in religious texts, and in art, angels are depicted as bringing messages from the celestial world to humankind.

However, as well as good angels there are also bad, or fallen, angels, who spread lies and attempt to lead people astray.

Like angels, we tend to think of fairies as beautiful and radiant, and human in appearance. Fairies are also depicted as magical winged creatures, who can fly between the spirit world and Earth, and are normally seen as small and delicate in stature, but not always (Cinderella’s fairy godmother).

Just like angels, fairies are not all good. Some can be naughty and mischievious (Tinkerbell) whilst others are quite malicious (some even abduct human babies). There is a belief that fairies may even be demoted angels, not good enough to be in heaven but not bad enough to be in hell, if not fallen angels.

We review here some angel fancy dress and some fairy fancy dress. The only thing you have to decide is whether you want to be a good angel or fairy, or whether you want to be a demoted or fallen angle.

Adult Pink Nymph Fairy Costume

Adult Pink Nymph Fairy Costume

Adult Pink Nymph Fairy Costume

In entomology a “nymph” is the immature form of an insect still undergoing metamorphosis. This fairy fancy dress is clearly not intended for such a creature but for one that is a fully developed adult.

In mythology nymphs are depicted as beautiful, nubile and amorous young women, outside the control of men, and who mate at their own violition. This has led to the use of the word “nympho” (nymphomaniac) to describe a women with abnormal or uncontrollable sexual desires.

Now, you could just tell people that you’ve come to the party dressed as a good fairy. However, if you want to tell them you’ve come dressed as a nymph, be sure to leave the “o” off the end. You have been warned!

This adult fairy costume (wings not inluded) comes in two dress sizes: Small/Medium 8 to 10, and Medium/Large 10 to 12.

The wings are optional but might be deemed necessary to convince people you ‘ve come as a good fairy and not just a nymph.

Adult Heavenly Angel Costume

Adult Heavenly Angel Costume

Adult Heavenly Angel Costume

Theologians in the middle ages divided heavenly angels into nine categories over three levels:

In the first level are Seraphim, Cherubim and Ophanim, who appear to mankind only as a beam of pure, brilliant light.

In the second level are Dominions, Virtues and Powers, who do not appear to mankind at all.

In the third level are Principalities, Archangels and Angels, who appear to mankind in human form (albeit with wings and a halo).

You can’t go to the party dressed as a beam of light, but you do want to make an appearance, so why not shine in this very becoming angel fancy dress.

The costume comes in one size, to fit dress sizes 12 to 14, and comprises the dress and the matching halo. The wings are optional but, if you want your appearance to be complete, you may purchase them as an accessory.

Woodland Fairy White Dress With Wings & H/Piece

Woodland Fairy White Dress With Wings & H/Piece

Woodland Fairy White Dress With Wings & H/Piece

As with all fairies, woodland fairies are magical and can be kind and benefolent to humans, mischievious and playful, or dark and malicious.

Some woodland fairies are said to be very protective of their habitat, to the point that those who dare to trespass could end up either incurably ill or simply made to vanish, never to be heard of again.

Sometimes they can be like the nymph, a little too free and easy with their charms, falling in love with the first young man that comes along. And sometimes they are beautiful and chaste and do nothing but good.

This fairy fancy dress costume is obviously not intended for a bad fairy. It comprises the dress, wings and headpiece and comes in small, medium and large sizes.

Children of all ages enjoy dressing up and entering the world of make-believe, and they don’t always need to have ready made costumes in order to play the parts they choose. Mum’s and granma’s old dresses, hats and scarves, as well as their make-up, are all the props the girls need. Dad’s and granpa’s old suits, caps, cravats, waistcoats and walking sticks serve for the boys.

Although many children have “dressing-up” boxes, their very own actor’s wardrobe, an increasing number of school plays and childrens’ parties are themed and require a quite specific type of childrens costume. If mum or dad has the time and skills most costumes can be made, but this is not always possible.

Christmas is one of those occasions when the “dressing-up” box is unlikely to have the makings of the costume that a child may wish for. The stories, films, cartoons and pantomimes that are featured at Christmas time means that there are now so many characters to choose from.

We feature here just a few of the childrens Christmas costumes that are available.

Child Deluxe Angel Costume

Child Deluxe Angel Costume

Child Deluxe Angel Costume

Every parent would like to think that their little girl is an angel, but for some it would perhaps be more closer to the truth to say that (paraphrasing Elvis Presley) “she looks like an angel, she walks like an angel, she talks like an angel, but, she’s the devil in disguise”.

However, though wearing fancy dress doesn’t normally change a child’s character, Christmas is a magical time and perhaps this angel costume could turn the mischievious child into a more saintly one, for a short time at least.

This child deluxe angel costume includes the dress, wings and headpiece, but not the wand. It comes in three sizes: Small 3 to 4 years, Medium 5 to 7 years, Large 8 -10 years.

Child Elf Costume

Child Elf Costume

Child Elf Costume

Elves are magical creatures and are known as Santa’s little helpers. How would he get all of those toys made and delivered on Christmas Eve without his elves? Very important little beings!

Now, here is a thought! What about buying an Elf costume for your child, dress him up, tell him about how good Santa’s elves are in doing all of his housework and then ask him to be a good little elf and put the cleaner round the living room, wash and wipe up the dinner things and generally tidy the house before Santa arrives with his presents. Should be good for a few weeks and that truly would be magic!

Or you could just buy it for the party he is going to.

This child Elf costume includes the tunic, trousers and hat with bell. It comes in three sizes: Small 3 to 5 years, Medium 6 to 8 years, Large 9 to 12 years.

“What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and all things nice. That’s what little girls are made of!”, or so the Mother Goose nursery rhyme goes.

Well, if it’s true, what more perfect fancy dress could mum and dad get for their girl than this Christmas pudding costume. What are Christmas pddings made of? Sugar and spice and …..

Of course, girls love to hear how sweetly made they are compared to boys, “Snips and snails and puppy dogs tails”, but are there many that would go to a party dressed up as a pudding to prove it?

This child’s Christmas pudding costume comes in three sizes: Small, Medium and Large.

Child Plum Pixie Costume

Child Plum Pixie Costume

Child Plum Pixie Costume

There are lots of stories about Pixies, who are mythological and magical creatures, often thought of as faries or elves or sprites.

A main part of their character is their playfulness, or puckishness, as they are often very mischievious, if not outright naughty. In some tales Pixies are also said to be beautiful, charming and helpful. Quite a mix of character there, but probably true of all little girls.

In some stories Pixies serve as Santa’s helpers, and so this is an ideal fancy dress outfit for your child to wear to a Christmas party.

The plum coloured Pixie costume includes the dress and wings, the headpiece and the wand. It comes in three sizes: Toddler 1 – 2 years, Small 3 – 4 years, Medium 5 – 7 years.

The first Nativity play is believed to have been performed in Italy in the early 13th century, round about 1223. The “author”, or perhaps more correctly “stage manager”, was St Francis of Assissi.

At that time the majority of people were illiterate and were unable to read about the birth of Christ for themselves. St Francis not only wanted to tell the story of the Nativity but also to let people see for themselves the conditions into which Jesus was born.

He set up a stable with a manger, spread some hay, brought in animals and asked some people from the town to be his actors, playing the parts of Mary and Joseph and the shepherds. And there we have it, the first Nativity play.

For the majority of young children and their parents, Christmas really begins at school with preparation for the school Nativity play. Children love dressing up and what better reason can there be to do so.

Below is a review of a few of the Nativity costumes available. For a wider selection of Nativity fancy dress click on Nativity Fancy Dress Costumes on the left.

Childs Mary Costume With Dress And Headpiece

Mary Costume With Dress And Headpiece Childs

Mary Costume With Dress And Headpiece Childs

The Nativity story tells how Mary and her husband Joseph travel from their home in Nazareth, Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea, to take part in a population census.

Whilst there Mary gives birth to a son, Jesus, but because they cannot find a room in any of the local inns, Mary and Joseph are eventually given shelter in a stable and have to use a manger as a crib for the newborn baby.

Mary is perhaps the most important character in the Nativity story after Jesus, and it is a role that all young aspiring actresses want to play.

This Mary costume is the ideal outfit for the part.

Child Joseph Nativity Costume

Child Joseph Nativity Costume

Child Joseph Nativity Costume

Joseph was not a king or a high born noble but an artisan, a carpenter, and lived in a town call Nazareth, in Galilee. He was visited in a dream by an angel of the Lord and was told about Mary’s immaculate conception and that he was to take Mary as his wife.

He took Mary to Bethlehem to be recorded in the population census and was there at the birth of Christ. Although Joseph was not the true father of Jesus, he accepted responsibility for him and raised him as his own son.

This Joseph costume is the ideal outfit for the leading boy’s role in the school Nativity play.

Shepherd Costume With Robe And Headpiece Childs

Shepherd Costume With Robe And Headpiece Childs

Shepherd Costume With Robe And Headpiece Childs

The birth of Christ was not announced first to kings and nobles, as you may imagine it would be, but to low born shepherds who were tending their flocks, at night, near the town of Bethlehem.

When the sky above them filled with light and the angel of the Lord appeared to them the shepherds were very afraid. But the angel told them that they had nothing to fear, that he had great news for them, that in Bethlehem a Child was born “who is Christ the King” and that they would find Him wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

And so the lowly shepherds were the first to see the new born baby Jesus, which is why their role in the Nativity play is such an important one.

This shepherd’s fancy dress costume can be added to with a shepherds crook from the Nativity Fancy Dress Costumes page.

Nativity King Caspar Childs

Of course, the Nativity story would not be complete without mention of the Three Wise Men, who are also known as the “Magi” and the “Three Kings”

Nativity King Caspar Childs

Nativity King Caspar Childs

The three wise men came from the east, probably from the land of Persia, and found Jesus by following a star, which was the one that shone above the stable, known as the Star of Bethlehem. Each of them brought a gift for Jesus – gold, frankincense and myrrh.

The names given to the wise men are Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. The fancy dress featured here is one for Casper, although it would be suitable for any of the wise men.

There are many customs surrounding the modern day celebration of Christmas, such as the decoration of the Christmas tree, the Yule log, mistletoe and holly, the giving of presents, turkey and Christmas pudding. Some customs date back many centuries, others are relatively modern.

Surprisingly, few of the accepted Christmas traditions are actually traceable back to a truly Christian origin, and some indeed have at least a pagan parallel.

So, though Santa Claus and his reindeer may be the most endearing symbol of Christmas why not buck the trend and go to the party as a Christmas tree, or a plum pudding or a turkey.

Look ridiculous? Of course not. Look different? Most definitely.

A roast turkey dinner will be on the table for most UK families at Christmas, although up until the 1950s it was a luxury.

If you want to be the girls favorite nibble this year then don this turkey outfit, put on your spurs, spread your fan (tail feathers) and strut your stuff.

A word of caution though. When a turkey struts, his snood, caruncles and dewlap engorge with blood and turn bright red.

Okay, that’s the wrinkly fold of skin that hangs over your beak, the fleshy bulbous bumps on your head and neck, and the loose skin hanging from your neck. Very attractive!

Perhaps the most popular Christmas stories about snowmen are “Frosty the Snowman”, a song written by Walter “Jack” Rollins and Steve Nelson and recorded by Gene Autry in 1950, and the snowman in the picture book “The Snowman” by Raymond Briggs. “The Snowman” was first published in 1978 and was then turned into an animated film in 1982. It has become a ‘must see’ favorite every year since.

Children and adults alike hope for a “white Christmas”, when they can build a snowman, and perhaps some of us still secretly wish that we will wake up and find that our snowman has magically come alive too.

Adult Mr Snowman Costume

This snowman outfit is either for the very brave of heart, one prepared to carry the flag for Frosty and The Snowman, or for the very faint hearted, one who doesn’t really want to get dressed up but if he has to would prefer no-one gets to know his identity.

The Mr. Snowman costume has an attached hat and scarf but does not include the pants and gloves. So, unless you want to go only half dressed to the ball, you will need to add your own pair of black trousers, black gloves and black shoes. But what a picture it would make!

It isn’t clear how you would partake of the seasonal liquid refreshment, so perhaps a packet of straws should be high on your list of accessories.

Reindeer fancy dress costumes are very popular at office, school and playschool Christmas parties. Reindeer have been traditional symbols of Christmas since the early nineteenth century, when they first appeared in the poem by Clement Clarke Moore “A visit from St. Nicholas” (also known as “The Night before Christmas”), which was first published in 1823.

The flying reindeer that pull St. Nicholas’s (Santa Claus) sleigh, when he delivers presents to children on Christmas Eve, are Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid, Donder (Donner) and Blitzen. The most famous reindeer of all, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, did not feature in the Christmas story until 1939, when he appeared in a children’s poem by Robert L. May. Now he is as much a part of Santa’s team as the others, with his bright shiny red nose leading the way.

Although our reindeer fancy dress will not enable you to fly like Santa’s reindeer, they will help you to get into the festive spirit. Check out more reindeer costumes and accessories on the Novelty Fancy Dress Costumes page.
