Childhood Dress Up

By Aveline Brooks


When we are young, dressing up is something that we want to do every day. As we grow older it becomes less acceptable, we become more mature. And yet we still remember the days when fairy tales were told, and we would dress like the characters of the story. And thanks to fancy dress suppliers, it's easy to be a child again.

Alice in Wonderland was Lewis Carrol's most famous creation; a tale that most people grow up with regardless of their generation. Alice's tale has been written and rewritten so often, that the characters have evolved and developed as time has gone on. With these evolvements, has come the evolving of the costumes which are based on the characters from books and films.

Disney princesses and princesses have been sparkling magic, beauty, and all that is good in the world in to our lives since we were little. And now we are older, we can be those princesses whenever we so wish; because the world of fancy dress, and some ridiculously wonderful costumes not only lets us do it once, but les us multiple times.

Villains of story books are sometimes more loved than the heroes or heroines. And because of this, you can become one of them just as easily as a hero or heroine. Donning a black mask, a villainous grin and a wonderful costume, it is easy to become your favourite bad guy. Dressing up is a fun way to be a wicked person.

A fairy tale is what we are told when we are small, it is something that we grow up with, and it is something that teaches us valuable lessons- even if we don't realise that at first. So it is only fitting that when our older selves decide to don our fancy dress, we go for the options of a magical nature.
