Last Minute Costume Ideas

You're invited to a costume party at the last moment and all the costume shops are closed. Or maybe you are the great delay and just never around to getting a professionally designed costume. No reason to panic. There are usually items of your current wardrobe and from around the house that you can rely on to create some very interesting and easy on-the-budget costumes at the last moment.

Have a swimsuit? Here's a Miss America participant, placing a ribbon sash across your chest with the written name of your house. Speedo Boys who can go into their wardrobe as an Olympic swimming champion, complete with a gold medal from the jewelry box tied with a ribbon around your neck.

If you have a leather coat, sunglasses and tight black jeans, you can go like a motorcycle babe or a chick magnet. The same leather jacket will come in handy if you want to be costumed as a John Travolta-like character from the movie Grease, complete with black comb and hair gel-smooth.

Do an exercise leotard and a bandana on your head, wear a book like Jane Fonda's Workout and go dressed as a fitness instructor.

If you some paint brushes and paint cans lie on your grungy jeans and oversized work shirt and baseball cap and go dressed as a house painter.

Dressed in a dark suit and a briefcase fill with many fake Monopoly money see from the sides and go to the party as a Wall Street Banker.

Dressed in a sort of western gear, including cowboy hat, jeans and boots and you're a cowboy. Carrying a guitar and sing, and you could be Glen Campbell!

A black suit matched with a white collar and a prayer book or Bible, and you instantly have a costume for a minister or priest. A black dress matched with a black head scarf on the top works equally well for women to go dressed as nuns.

Find the most colorful, gaudiest skirt and blouse in your wardrobe, wear dangling earrings and carry a deck of tarot cards and join the party as a psychic reader, tell each guest a little luck.

Pair a fedora hat with a trenchcoat and sunglasses and go as a spy. Put the words "press" in the hatband of your hat, with a pencil and notebook and go as a journalist.

Why not head to your wardrobe closet now to see what piece would inspire an instant costume for you?
