Choosing an outfit
For parties where the fancy dress theme has been determined, such as a Halloween party or seasonal get together, choosing an outfit may be a little easier. All you have to do is come up with a few ideas based on the theme and tweak them until you come up with an idea that you love.
For parties where you have free reign of fancy dress, choosing an out can be a bit more difficult. When coming up with outfit ideas and looking at outfit options, it is important to think about the party itself. Some fancy dress costumes may be inappropriate for certain occasions, such as professional or family parties.

Consider your personal interests
