Now that October has come to an end its time to begin preparing for the Christmas time, although it is only November we all know that we prepare for Christmas very early. So don’t leave costumes to the last minute and get them sorted with us here at AllFancyDress. We have plenty of different Christmas themed outfits from snowmen to reindeer and of course Santa outfits perfect for those looking to become the jolly red man this Christmas season.

Let’s start with the big guy himself. Santa Claus or Father Christmas is the face of the Christmas season so no wonder people enjoy dressing up as the jolly man during the Christmas season. We have a great variety of Santa costumes for the men in a variety of styles and sizes including some plus sizes! There are even some different costumes including a tuxedo suit styled Santa costume and even a second skin costume! There is however somebody we also need to mention, Santa could not do everything by himself, who looks after the elves and reindeer while Santa is checking his list? Mrs Claus of course, without her help Santa’s little helpers wouldn’t be a big help and we understand that so we have a great variety of Ladies Santa costumes or as we call her Mrs Claus! They all come in a variety of styles and sizes perfect for those Mrs Claus wannabes out there. Many of our Santa and Mrs Claus costumes work great as a couple so make sure to check out our couples Christmas page to have a look at the bundles we have available! These Christmas
                         characters also have costumes for the boys and girls of the jolly season too!

Has the Santa role already been taken? Now you’re stuck with no idea what to dress up as for a Christmas party or event?! No worries because here at AllFancyDress we have a variety of other Christmas themed outfits, costumes and accessories that will leave Santa Claus gobsmacked. These costumes range from Christmas characters like the snowman to the reindeer and even some more obscure characters like a Christmas Turkey, Cracker, Christmas tree and even a Christmas Pudding!

We even have Penguin costumes for those looking to be a different animal than the usual reindeer.

What if I want some more generic Christmas costumes that fit the scene but don’t matter if there are multiple people wearing the same style? Then look towards our elf or angel pages that will give you a great Christmas look no matter what! The elves are of course the handy assistants of the big man Santa Claus and work to create all the gifts and presents for the children that make them smile. The angels of course come from the idea that they bring messages and festivities to the mortals on earth making people cheerful and filling them with such excitement that makes Christmas season one of the greatest.

We have many different Christmas themed accessories and hats as well for those looking to only dress up a little or just need that extra something to make all the difference to their Christmas costume. Some of our accessories that you might be interested or need for other costumes include the Half Moon Santa Specs for those looking to become Mr Claus and also a Stuffer to make the jolly man’s belly if you need to put on a few without eating a lot! We also have angel wings to go with a variety of white clothes or our angel themed outfits, a range of Christmas themed hosiery including the festive red and green colours and a candy cane themed pair of stockings. For hats we go from the classic Red and white Santa hats to headgear to keep the elves and their pointy ears warm as well as some more “out of the box” hats including a turkey hat (cooked and uncooked) a reindeer hat and even a Christmas tree!

So if you have a Christmas event coming up or are planning to host one, perhaps you should get set for heavy storms of snow and shopping by getting your fancy dress costumes quickly!

If you need any more help don’t hesitate to ask!

We're calling for flammable testing on all children's clothing – not just fancy dress costumes!

clock Thursday, October 29, 2015 at 01:06PM
At Allfancydress.com we’re welcoming the crackdown on the safety of children’s fancy dress costumes, but it’s not only the safety of this type of clothing that needs further investigation: it’s all types of children’s clothing.
 
Did you know that ordinary child daywear garments outside of either EN71-2 or BS 5722 safety requirements for toys and nightwear respectivel are not tested for flammability whatsoever?

We’re just as shocked as you are. We’re adamant that more stringe tests should be carried out.

At Allfancydress.com we carry out our own independent flammability testing on all types of children’s clothing, including our own products. We recently set fire to school uniforms, sports kit and party dresses and found that they went up quicker than the fancy dress costumes you’ll find on our site.

We’ve grown increasingly concerned at the way supermarkets have entered the fancy dress industry, replicating styles of costumes and selling them at knock-down prices.

As an independent fancy dress retailer and one of the biggest online sellers in the UK, we’re firm believers that our customers should rightly expect to buy genuine, branded, quality goods.

Buying cheap costumes can often be a foolhardy thing to do. The last thing you want for your children is for them to wear an outfit at Halloween where corners have been cut with the design and the safety compromised.

In fact, we’ve seen all too many examples first-hand of costumes from online and offline marketplaces and small retailers importing cheap fancy dress mimicking genuine products and styles.

Flammability is no doubt a complicated science. But it’s relevant to all types of kids’ apparel – not just fancy dress!

So with Halloween and Bonfire Night firmly on the horizon, we just want to make parents acutely aware of the flammability issues, keeping children clear of naked flames and safe without spoiling the enjoyment of the spooky season!

Horrific Halloween!

We are now so very close to the Halloween night. So now people will begin to think up or look for creepy stories and facts to keep their friends awake at night. This has been made popular because of campfire nights when people had gathered around the campfire to tell scary stories in order to creep out each other to cause them to stay awake. So being so close to Halloween we will now list some really good ways to scare your friends and family.

Things like scary ghost stories, creepy sightings, unsolved mysteries and things like that are all popular ways of giving people a case of the Heebie-Jeebies. You can easily find things like this online such as on various social websites, other blog sites and especially YouTube. YouTube has a huge variety of lists explaining really creepy and somewhat unnerving stories by other people about ghosts, monsters and more! So if you want a good scare or to get a good story to tell your friends and family this Halloween these are the stories to look for!

Of course one of the classic ways and what we have been listing every Monday for the past 5 weeks is to get everyone watching a scary movie, classics of course are some of the most horrifying but have probably been seen by almost everyone causing the scare factor to plummet (Sorry Freddy Krueger). Newer titles especially with the incline of users on Netflix are a much better way of finding scary movies that will deliver the scares to almost anybody. Make sure you have all the lights off and if anybody has a surround sound system make sure to use their system for the films.

PRANKS! Everybody loves pranks, apart from the person getting pranked of course, especially if the prank is a scary one. There are many ways of pulling pranks on your friends such as pretending there was a zombie apocalypse or a werewolf entering the house. Various people have pulled pranks and posted them online such as on YouTube, so now you can pull of similar pranks to your friends!

What’s worse than watching others get into situations against their own will being chased by monsters or scary beings, being put into the shoes of those people of course! Now of course we cannot just make somebody run away from a monster that doesn’t exist (or does it?). So the next step is to instead get them to play a video game instead, there are tons of different and unique games that are bound to give people Goosebumps and a big scare towards the end.

There are loads more ways to give your friends the scare and of course make them wish Halloween would just come and go without any problems from monsters, ghosts or any other unnatural beings. We would like to thank you for reading some of our blogs if you have done and hope you have a great Halloween and we will blog some more after this haunting season.

If you have any ideas on how to spook people put them down in the comments below and please understand that some people take horror much easier than others so be careful who you are picking to scare.

“Please watch any videos, play games or read stories with caution as some can genuinely be very scary and be careful who you scare”
