Bandanna Scarf
Silk Scarves for Fancy Dress
Although everyone loves the idea of a fancy dress party, when it comes to choosing what or who to go as, not to mention the cost of hiring an outfit, suddenly it can become a bit of a headache. With a fabulous silk scarf, however, you can create your own superb fancy dress costume from a few bits and bobs that you probably already have in your closet.
The Gypsy Look
Creating the gypsy look could not be simpler and you will only require four essential items. Dig through your closet and find a simple sleeveless or short-sleeved top or, if you have one, one which can be worn off the shoulder, and a flared skirt. Whether you want to portray an old-fashioned gypsy girl or put a modern spin on the theme will determine the length of the skirt that you choose. Next, take your fabulous silk scarf and, if it is square, fold it into a triangle and tie it bandanna style or, if it is longer and narrower, place it across your head so that the long edge is tight against your forehead, bring the ends around to the side or back of your head and tie. Finish off with a large pair of hooped ear-rings.
The Pirate Look
The pirate look is another one which is very easy to create from your existing wardrobe and there are a number of variations on this theme that you can opt for. Find either a pair of dark-colored leggings or a plain flared skirt of whatever length you prefer, ideally in black or red. For the top half, you have several choices. You can either select a plain black, red or white shirt, or a striped one which uses these colors, and tie it at the waist or just below the bust, an off the shoulder top or, if you want to go for a sexy pirate look, a black red or white bustier. Next, dig out a pair of black, knee-length boots and tie a women’s silk scarf as described for the gypsy look, or simply roll it up so that you have a cylinder of fabric and tie it around your forehead. Of course, no respectable pirate would be seen without her trusty cutlass, so you can either buy a plastic one from a toy store or make your own if you prefer.
The Hawaiian Lady Look
Requiring nothing more than a fabulous, brightly-colored silk scarf, a pair of flip-flops and a flower or two, the Hawaiian lady look is the cheapest and easiest look of all to create. Either wrap a long silk scarf around your body above the bust and tie at the side or, place the fabric around your back so that you are holding the two top corners in front of you, twist the two corners around one another once or twice so that the fabric is tight around your body and then tie the corners at the back of your neck. Take a single flower, ideally the traditional hibiscus, and tuck it behind your ear or, make a flower lei, the symbol of the aloha spirit, by threading real flowers on to a piece of thin thread or fishing line or make your own flowers from crepe paper.
Voila! Three great fancy dress outfits for the price of a single silk scarf!
