What a feeling! I love the tunes from this 80s dance film hit, Flashdance, and your friends will love this Flashdance fancy dress costume.
Here's what you will need:
- Grey sweatshirt - Over-sized. See if you can neatly hack at the collar line and cuffs with a pair of scissors.
- Leotard or single piece black swimwear.
- Leg Warmers - Any colour will do.. I am sure your peers will get the picture.
- Red high heels. Preferably with pointy toes, and only a few inches high.
So where do you acquire these doozey's?
Give a few of your local second hand clothing charity shops a go for the grey sweat shirt. You may be pleasantly surprised, plus the cost is quite cheap. Alternately, you should be able to find a cheap one down at your local neighbourhood department store.
You should be able to buy the shoes cheap new, or maybe even beg, borrow and steal from family or friends.
I am assuming you have a full piece swim suit, cos if you buy a leotard just for the costume, you will probably never wear it again.
Righto, the leg warmers are best found online. Amazon have a good range and they are only cheap.
If you have a few extra dollars to spend, buy a curly, dark haired wig to really create the 'Alex from Flashdance' look.
As with any good event, 80's party or gathering, take plenty of photo's of you and your friends dressed up and have fun.
