angel costumes – Christmas Fancy Dress Costumes – 3 Alternatives to the Traditional Santa Claus Outfit
The traditional Santa Claus outfit has become extremely popular during the festive season. It seems that in the weeks leading up to the 25th December these Christmas fancy dress costumes are everywhere. On the street corner rattling a box for your money, in countless shops promoting the latest Xmas gift, in Santa’s Grottos up and down the country and of course at family gatherings scaring the younger children.
The Santa Claus outfit is also the most popular costume at the end-of-year office do and festive fancy dress parties. So, if you are planning on going to one such party this year and would like to be at least a little bit original, what are the alternative Christmas fancy dress costumes that are available to you?
Reindeer
A Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer suit is always a good choice amongst the men at this time of the year. There are female versions of the costume, but I believe the really good ones out there are those for the men. Please note that not all reindeer costumes come with a red nose, but if you find a great reindeer suit that does not have one, then a red Comic Relief nose will always make a good substitute.
Angel
Ladies can choose to go to the party in a Sexy Miss Santa costume, but in my opinion an even better and far less risque choice is to go as a Christmas tree fairy or an angel. The angel outfits currently available are extremely flattering and stand out even in a room full of Christmas fancy dress costumes. I would like to say one word of warning though with this type of outfit. Make sure that the angel wings are not likely to restrict your movement at the party.
Snowman
I have saved my personal favourite to last, the Snowman costume, which I believe is the best alternative to a Santa Claus outfit. We are a nation brought up on the heart warming tale by Raymond Briggs, so a Snow man suit is always going to be well loved at the party. Also, it is a unisex outfit that comes in styles for men and women, as well as some hilarious looking novelty ones. However, if you are going to go down the novelty route, please make sure you are well aware whether your suit is easy to get in and out of with regards to visiting the bathroom during the evening.

Fairies and Angels are fascinating and beautiful creatures that every girl, whether young or old, would like to be. Here’s a quick look at these two popular costumes.
Angel Costumes
People will surely think you’re heaven-sent when you wear an angel costume! The classic angel costume usually has an all-white floor-length or knee-length loose dress or robe. The dress would usually have some silver or gold detailing on it, and would be worn with a matching belt. If made from a satin fabric, the dress will glow giving that ethereal appearance. Sandals in white, silver or gold will complete the angelic look.
If you want something less traditional, there are several other versions that you can choose from. These alternative angel costumes are typically sexier and more revealing than the classic angel costume. You can dress as a sexy angel in a white lace spaghetti strap mini dress or a darker, fallen angel version in a black corset and short skirt. Some angel costumes actually combine an angel and devil costume in one – half of the dress being white with an angel wing and a halo, with the other half in red with a devil wing and horn.
Fairy Costumes
Who doesn’t want to be Tinkerbell? Sweet and loving, yet occasionally mischievous, Tinkerbell is one of the most loved fairytale characters of all time. The prototype of the fairy costume, Tinkerbell costume, remains one of the fastest selling costumes throughout the whole year. The classic Tinkerbell costume, which consists of an apple green dress with an uneven hemline and a pair of pixie wings, can make anyone appear like a fairy princess.
Although Tinkerbell is a famous fairy, she isn’t the only one. There is A Midsummer Night Dream’s Titania, the Queen of the Fairies, in her elaborate autumn-inspired dress; the Sugar Plum Fairy in a short violet dress; the Tooth Fairy in a white top and ruffle skirt combination; or the Fairy Godmother in a sparkling blue or green ball gown. Apart from these fairies, the basic pixie costume has also evolved throughout the years. You can be anything from a woodland or forest fairy in an elegant earth-tone dress, to a Gothic pixie in black with a lace-up front dress, to a devil fairy in a red satin dress with horns and a pitchfork. There are also sexy versions of the classic fairy costume. Sexy fairy costumes are usually cut short with uneven hemlines, and have a matching corset top that shows off your cleavage. These can be worn with stockings and high-heeled boots for an even sexier look.
Angel and Fairy Costume Accessories
When wearing an angel or fairy costume, don’t forget the accessories. Both fairy and angel costumes need detachable wings, made either from cloth or feathers. The wings can be found in different colors and can be shaped any way you would like to blend in with your costume. For angels, the white halo around your head is crucial. For fairies, you may choose to bring a matching wand. You can also combine the angel and fairy costumes into one, and bring all of these accessories with you. For the make-up, match it to the image you want to portray – for classic, elegant outfits, go for glittery, shimmery make-up to make you glow; for the more extreme versions, such as the Gothic pixie, put on black make-up and other dark colors to strengthen your features.
