Fancy Dress & Halloween Costumes 2009

January is a pretty quiet time in the fancy dress costume world, everyone has had their fill with Halloween costume parties in October, Christmas themed parties in December and the big bash at the end of the year, New Years where any sort of costume goes. So whilst it is still quiet I though it would be interesting to see what lies ahead in the fancy dress world for the first few months of 2009 and what excuses I could find that we have for dressing up!

Major Events with a fancy dress theme in the first few months of 2009

Harry potter CostumeWorld Book Day Costumes: Thursday 5th March 2009
This event is aimed at children, where on this day they dress up in a fancy dress costume, usually in a theme taken from a book. The event was created by UNESCO as a way of promoting and developing reading throughout the world, World Book day is now entering its 2nd decade in the United Kingdom and gets more and more popular each year. So a few world book day childrens costume ideas could include a Dennis the Menace Costume, The Cat In The Hat Costume or even Peter Pan & Tinkerbell Costumes. I think the most popular costume in 2008 for World Book Day were unsurprisingly the Kids Harry Potter costumes. For more information, see the World Book Day Costume post I created last year.

Sexy Leprechaun Fancy Dress CostumeSaint Patricks Day Costumes: Tuesday 17th March 2009
St. Patrick's Day is generally held on the 17th March but is occasionally moved to avoid it coinciding with Palm Sunday, as happened in 2008. The St. Patricks Festival 2009 in Dublin will run from Thursday 12th – Tuesday 17th March 2009. The parade will be held on Tuesday 17th March 2009. This is an excellent time for some great stereotypically Irish fancy dress costumes with everybody dressing up in green and gold Leprechaun costumes. There are some great Irish themed fancy dress costumes out there and I feel this is one of the funniest fancy dress parties of the year, so don't miss it!
