Ideas for Sexy Christmas Costumes

sexy santa costume
Sexy fancy dress costumes in general are very popular and in fact continue to increase in popularity as can be seen with the rise of companies like Leg Avenue. Over Halloween there is a large increase in the number of sexy Halloween costumes for sale and now as Christmas approaches, we are seeing a similar rise in the number of Sexy Christmas Costumes.

So within the section of sexy costumes for Christmas what is available this year?

Sexy Santa Costumes
The obvious choice for a fancy dress costume, especially for men is to dress up in a Santa Claus Costume, but what if you are a girl? The good news is that there are plenty of Womens Santa Costumes, many of which would be described as being sexy. I have also noticed that there are a number of sexy Santa costumes for women that come under the name of "Christmas Gift Costumes." I guess that the idea is that you are giving yourself dressed in a sexy costume to your partner, definitely a Christmas present that I wouldn't mind receiving this year :-)

Other than Women's Santa costumes, there are some really good sexy elf costumes, the green elf costume pictured and is available from Amazon on the link below was one of the most popular fancy dress costumes over Christmas last year and it looks like it will be just as popular this year.

Sexy Fairy Costumes
Another popular choice and can be especially handy if you don't feel like dressing in Green and red, is to dress up as the fairy that sits on top of many Christmas Trees, I have note yet found any sexy star costumes!

There are also quite a few sexy angel costumes available, if you don't feel like being a fairy and I think is another great Christmas fancy dress idea.

Other ideas for sexy costumes for Christmas include this Sexy Frosty the Snow-Vixen Costume, which again is a nice non green and red twist on the Christmas theme.


Sexy Toy Soldier CostumeI also found this great Nellie Nutcracker Toy Soldier Costume for woman that includes knit dress with gold foiled fabric, matching hat and "Nuts" bag as well as a Sexy Toy Soldier Costume, which is not strictly a Christmas costume, but it is sexy and it is red and white and so won't look out of place in any Christmas themed fancy dress party.

Sexy Snow White Costumes

sexy Snow White costumeWhen I was researching my previous post on Snow White Fancy Dress Costumes, I could not notice how many different styles of sexy Snow White costumes that are available.

Who would have ever thought that you could turn a pretty innocent character like the Disney Snow White costume into a sexy costume and as far as I can tell, they are pretty popular as well.

If you are looking for a sexy fancy dress costume, I think there are a few pretty good sexy versions of Snow White that really work, as they are still recognisable as a snow white costume.

Snow White Fancy Dress Costume

snow white costume
Snow white makes a great fancy dress costume as the yellow, red and blue colours combined with the wig make it obvious it is the Snow White costume from the Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs film that featured the magic mirror and obviously the seven dwarfs.

This adult version of the Disney Snow White costume comes with a satin and velour dress with gold brocade trim, a stand up collar and hair ribbon. As far as I know to get that authentic Snow White hair style, you will have to also purchase a the Snow White wig which is usually sold separately.

It is interesting to note that in many versions of Snow White, other than the well known Grimm brothers and the Disney versions, the dwarfs in the story are actually thieves and the magic mirror is often not included at all. There is even one version of Snow White that comes from Albania where she lives with 40 dragons and not the dwarfs at all!

And perhaps because of this there are apart from the Snow White costumes shown many variations, to see them all check out these ones:

Lara Croft Costumes


I have always thought that Indiana Jones and Lara Croft costumes would make great couples costumes and perfect to wear to any fancy dress party especially if there is a movie or some kind or action hero theme. It was though doing some research into Lara Croft Tomb Raider costumes that I found out that initially she was going to basically be the Indiana Jones of computer games, until one of the designers of the Tomb Raider game noticed that many of his friends would often choose female characters when playing the then popular computer game called "Virtual Fighter"

Once they had decided to make the hero in the game a female it was then decided that she would not be the steriotypical blond bimbo that were used in many games at the time and so Lara Croft has always had long brown hair and brown eyes.

The Lara Croft Costume
Though the Lara Croft tomb raider costume has changed a little over time, like in Underworld, Lara now wears a brown and black halter top with green and black shorts, her traditional iconic costume of the classic green or blue sleeveless shirt, short, tight, light brown shorts, calf-high boots, white socks, fingerless gloves, a small backpack, and two holsters on her utility belt has always remained pretty constant and is probably the most recognisable image of her.

Lara Croft Fancy Dress Costumes
Most of the fancy dress Lara Croft costumes tend to be based on her classic look and I guess you need to have a pretty decent figure to pull off stepping into Angelina Jolie shoes. Still if you can pull it off, I think it is an excellent womans costume.

Where to buy the Lara Croft Halloween Costume

There are a few officially licensed Edios Lara Croft costumes and non licensed look alike costumes available from most fancy dress and Halloween Stores and so you should not have any trouble in finding it. Just make sure that if you think you are buying a licensed costume that you actually get it and because Lara has manny accessories, just check to see if the costume comes with her guns and backpack included in the price and not as an extra.

Pimp my Iron Man Costume!

The Ultimate Iron Man Fancy Dress Costume for Kids?
There are plenty of official and not so official Iron Man costumes for both children and adults available for sale. But none have the gadgetry of this one.

One very lucky and cute kid had his father spent two months modding and pimping out the standard child's Iron Man Costume available on the market.




Iron Man Costumes


Not only did he add a CO2 air compressor to fire missiles or repulsor waves, but a complete BeagleBoard computer running a makeshift JARVUS along with an Arduino board to handle all of the advanced suit functions.

Below are all the additions made to the IronMan Costume:
  • Missile launcher - Uses CO2 air pump can to launch a paper missile.
  • SA magnetic switch sensor lights his repulsor hand light and fades out and in his glowing eyes.
  • Sound Effects - configured Elightenment17 to playback sound effects using Mplayer script. Mouse buttons activated by Arduino Digital output triggered by sensors.
  • A LED night light from Costco embedded in his the chest of the Iron Man Suit.
  • Powerful Computer - With BeagleBoard already running in JARVUS box on the back of the Ironman Suit they plan to add more features including a Web cam, mobile router with hotspot and a head-mounted display, VoIP, streaming video of Iron Man view.

The standard Iron Man Costume is available from Amazon.com - is still pretty cool, even without all the extras'

Santa Claus Chimney Hat


Christmas Fancy Dress Ideas

I just happened to find the Santa stuck in the chimney hat whilst I was researching the Christmas tree hats, and thought it was worth a mention as it would surely would do well in a unique Christmas costume hat competition if there was such a thing or if you are looking for something a little different to the traditional Santa Claus Costume
