Great films, sexy musicians and elegant fashion divas abound in the eighties. 80s fancy dress include outfits worn by Madonna, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana. Character 80s fancy dress would include a Harrison Ford ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ outfit and a host of star wars characters. A costume for four would be the ghostbusting team of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis. You get to wear a beige jumpsuit with a Ghostbusters logo and a proton pack and gun. Great fun to slime the guests with some green goo!
Eighties fashion statements:
Shoulder pads
Ladies dresses, sweaters, tops and T shirts had large shoulder pads that had survived the seventies and were carried through to the eighties. Dallas and Dynasty’ glamorous looks helped define the eighties power women, along with the more moderate Margaret Thatcher’s suits.
Knitwear
Eighties women loved knitwear. Soft and fluffy cardigans completed an outfit. Ornately decorated sweaters were worn with skirts or trousers. Colours were bright and bold: Purples, blacks, fuchsia pinks, emerald greens and winter whites. Large fluffy mohair sweaters and cardigans were decorated with sequins, beads and appliqué. Motifs ranged from large elegant satin designs to small funky cotton motifs. Batwing sleeves were easy to wear and they made a comeback. Beads and appliqué were prolific on evening dresses and also on T shirts and knitwear.
Underwear
Camisoles became popular underwear for the ladies and Calvin Klein briefs were popular for the men. Underwear and lingerie took a more important role in the wardrobe. Tights and stockings were coloured and patterned.
Accessories
Large plastic sunglasses came in a range of colours. Madonna wore fishnet tights and fingerless gloves and tight laced corsets. This sparked a market for corsets for eveningwear and lingerie.
Fluorescent beads, glitter mousse, Dr Martens, one earring and plum coloured hair was often worn together.
Make-up
Bold pink cheek bones and painted eyes were the hallmark of the eighties. The eighties’ ladies spent hours in front of the mirror perfecting their make-up. Eyeshadow came in any colour with bright blues and greens being favourite. Plenty of eyeliner and a shiny red lipstick to finish off.
The 80s fancy dress can take in any length of dress or skirt and most colours of make-up and accessories. Carry on the bold bright theme of the 1970s and perhaps add some fishnet stockings and fingerless gloves and you can’t go far wrong.

Your partner may come up with the excuse of not wanting to be dragged around endless lingerie stores, unless its February the 14th, we understand. Though, the vast array of online stores which sell fabulous lingerie collections like SexySexyLingerie means your partner has no excuse not to do some online lingerie shopping with you. This in it self will likely mean he will be up for helping you buy some sexy lingerie whilst his fantasies are racing. They should be with the type of lingerie you will find here.
When shopping together the fun starts straight away. They get to see and then imagine what you will be wearing. Tell your boyfriend you want his input and what he wants to see you in has an influence on what you will want to buy. Be a little flexible to his wants. Though there is one rule. Do not wear just what he thinks looks “sexy” but makes you feel uncomfortable. Remember sexy is a subjective term, there is different definitions. Reach a middle ground, find some exotic lingerie which you feel comfortable in and he finds you sexy in.

Our site will allow you to look through a whole range of designs and see what you think is most suitable to what you want to create.

i’m going to do like, black eyes red lips, but could anyone please help with outfit ideas? or some sort of guidance?
Fancy dress?
There’s an old couple sitting watching TV, when the woman decides she’s got to do something to spice up their lacklustre sex life.
With a mischievous glint in her eye, she goes upstairs and searches through her wardrobe.
She finds an old pair of stockings and suspenders, a moth-eaten basque and a fancy-dress cape.
Putting them on, she creeps downstairs and kicks open the living-room door. “Darling!” she shouts, running in. “Super Pu55y!”
Her husband glances up, then looks back at the television. “I’ll have the soup, thanks.”
