Sweet Sixteen Fancy Dress Costume Ideas

You've waited fifteen long years for this day to finally come and jubilation is hardly the word.

The time has finally arrived for you to shed your adolescent skin and cross the threshold into young adulthood. But before you make that transition, you must first throw the biggest and most spectacular sweet sixteen party this world has ever seen!

The first thing you'll need to do before ordering the white tigers, ice sculptures, and chandeliers is to find a stunning dress to sport. Hopefully you already have your measurements and have given yourself a little bit of time, no matter how short the window, to find the right fantasy dress that works.

One good idea that you may want to consider is dressing up as Maleficent, the villainous character from the classic fairytale Sleeping Beauty. A black corseted velvet gown with a touch of silver on the silver panel, sheer sleeve drapes, an attached veil and a crown headpiece is a nice dark look that is guaranteed to turn heads.

Another suggestion would be to time travel back to the 50's (Mom and Dad will enjoy this) and dress as a poodle babe. This is as simple as a one piece red and black dress- or another color of your choosing- that reaches down to your ankles, with a poodle applique and a sequin belt. Add to the costume some nice dancing shoes and you will be ready to hit the dance floor to cut-a-rug for the party.

Or if you want to be a bit controversial, perhaps dressing up as a moll gangster will give you that rebellious edge you are searching for. A pinstriped jacket, pants and black tie is what you will need. Grab a hat, some matching shows, accessories (If you want to add them) and a fake Tommy gun and you will be ready to outrun the coppers in no time.

If the gangster look is not what you want however, consider getting 'batty' this year and go as Bat Girl! A mini-dress with a yellow bat logo, gloves, an eye mask, attached black cape, yellow vinyl belt and black knee boots will have you ready to fly through the city of Gotham looking to protect all the citizens from that pesky joker.

An Atlantis Queen is also another unique and fun fantasy dress option. Become the Queen of the seas while wearing a gorgeous silk gown with gold accents and flowing, cut-away sleeves. Add to it a headband and your appearance will be most stunning.

Hopefully these sweet sixteen party dress ideas will help you in your quest for the perfect costume to wear. These are just a few of many dresses and/or costumes that are sitting inside many shops right now, lonely, and just waiting for your arrival. Once you find what works best for you, its time to put on your number, go to the party and enjoy being newly sixteen!
