pirates fancy dress for parties

By Adam Strange

Pirates have been around for thousands of years and their bold, quirky dress sense and rebellious attitude have made great subjects for films and books but also act as a great inspiration for any fancy dress or Halloween party. So why not turn up to your next party in pirates fancy dress?

Pirates offer us many choices of style for our parties. Foir exampler there is the evil Captin Hook or poerhaps Captain Jack Sparrow. Whatever you like you will find a range of sizes complete with cutlasses to make you outfit complete.

On the other hand you may be an outfit creator. Just get together some basics like baggy black clothing with red or purple beads from the toy store. Gather plenty of frills on the sleeves and big baggy trousers with a large buckle belt. Big buckles are in fashion just now and are perfect.

For footwear, long black leather boots are perfect. If you are willing, a long curly wig will make your outfit complete. Go for dreadlocks or long black hair. For female pirates choose instead, a gypsy skirt.

Accessories can really add sparkle to your final look. Choose from or include all of the following: A bandana, an eye patch, a cutlass and a pirate's hat. Black eyeliner will add menace to Captain Hook.

Body language is as important as the clothes themselves. Develop the saunter and practice it. Speak in a Cornish accent and remember those phrases "Aye matey" and "ahoy" instead of hello. It all adds to the authenticity of your protrayal in your pirates fancy dress outfit.

The best way to become the part is to watch an old movie on tv or the web.Pick up one sentence they use and practice it a few times. It is worth theeffort because you will immediately resonate the authenticity of a true pirate.

So just take a little time and follow these tips through and when you go to your party, you will really be the part and add to the occasion. No actor or impersonator ever succeeded without doing his homework. - 2361
