A couple of weekends ago we had a video games themed dress up party. I think it deserves its own picture post because of all the awesome costumes everyone, so much effort went into it! The theme was 16 Bit, you had to come as a character from 16bit (or prior) game. Prepare to geek out 
Jonjo and Louis as Mario and Luigi. With hindsight they should have swapped costumes but Jonjo was insistent it would be too weird to have Luigi making out with Princess Peach, ha!

Out outfits were surprisingly easy to make! (mine was just an excuse to buy this yellow wig, ive been flouncing round the house in it ever since) Mine was a bridesmaids dress from a charity shop that i borrowed from Vicky, for New Years aaaages ago she wore it as a Deb (from Napoleon Dynamite) costume. I added the hot pink satin parts, made the brooch/necklace thing from Fimo and bought the long gloves on eBay. I made the dungarees from an old pair of overalls Jonjo had from a Ghostbusters costume, added the giant buttons i got from a craft shop. I made the hat from scratch using red fleece, the shirt was from uniqlo and the gloves/moustache from a fancy dress shop. I seriously enjoyed being a princess for the night, i think i might wear this dress all the time now

Vicky came as a Pacman ghost. We made the costume from a sheet of foam, rolled it up and glued it along the edge to make a tube. Then we cut petal shapes from the top and glued these together to make the rounded top shape.

It was near impossible to drink in!

I love Tobias’s face in this picture! Maddi and Tib’s outfits were clever but seriously creepy, i kept telling Maddi off for smiling at me cos the white make up made her gums look so red and scary.

All partied out, goodnight!
