Fancy dress parties with friends are so much fun. Not only do you get to be someone else for the night but the memories (not to mention the photo opps!) you'll have are way better than renting a movie or going to your favourite pub for a pint.
Pulling together your own sailor costume seems like a great idea. But after drawing blood when you poke yourself with the needle or being stuck when you sew yourself to the fabric, you'll think otherwise. Martha Stewart might have time for this but who else does?
Here are six great reasons a sailor outfit is perfect for your next fancy dress party.
1) You get to say fun things all night like "Anchors Away!" and "Land ho!" Want to really get into character? Here's some language and slang from the Royal Navy: http://hubpages.com/hub/JackSpeak---The-Language-of-the-Royal-Navy-
2) You know those knot tying skills you learned as a girl or boy scout? Here's a chance to use them in real life and impress your friends.
3) Who isn't flattered by a salute and a wink? You can use this all night to get to the front of queues and otherwise charm fellow party-goers into getting what you want.
4) Get together some of your friends in the appropriate costumes and you can be the Village People. When the most popular dance song of all time plays, prepare to be front and centre.
5) You can sing a few sea shanties or drinking songs to really get the party going. You can even get away with singing badly!
6) Everyone looks good in blue and white.
As you see, being a sailor is fun whether you live on the coast or not. To see some great fancy dress ideas (many for under 30 pounds!) on this website. Welcome!
