    Hi frogmorton

    Hope you arewell

    My daughter a few years ago went dressed as laura croft and her fiance went as austin powers. They were both really easy.

    OR why not bonny & clyde if it has to be a duo.

    Good luck with the outfits. Hope they have fun.

    I used to love fancy dress parties in my teens.

    Not big on any ideas but I know that Arg9s are now selling outfits, i..e bananaman, pirates etc..

    Or they should be a fancy dress hire they can just go to for some inspiration, I know them places are popping up all over..

    This is really simple as we did it a couple of years ago and it went down really well.

    He could go as a snooker player wearing bow tie, waistcoat, smart jacket and trousers and she could be his snooker cue and just wear a little blue hat with her party clothes.

    What brilliant ideas!!!

    Thank you all so much - I will show these all to Charlotte (Charlie|) later and let you know her opinion.

    Trisher Charlie is about 5 foot 5 and has dark curly hair about bra-strap length.

    Worse news than this though...

    My girls have been to see their friends 'prom' dresses :roll: what is a prom you might ask? well if it hadn't have been for Katekelly a year or so back I would have been none the wiser....

    apparently kids at 16 have an American style prom (party) when the finish their GCSEs.

    Their friends (known as ' the twins') have got their dresses already and guess what they cost????

    One £200 and one £300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    what is that about?

    help me!!

    Gotta start saving now :shock:
    Love

    Toni I know how you feel,My Daughter Laura Had her Prom night, some of her friends dresses cost around that much, But Laura chose the type of dress & what material she liked (satin) & we had it made, She looked beautiful, & even if I say so myself, Far nicer than some of dresses,That were expensive.

    Your Daughter will look beautiful
