Ancient Egyptian Themed Costumes

The time of the Egyptian Pharaohs was perhaps one of the more intriguing periods of history.  The sheer scale, size and precision of their buildings including the Pyramids and the Sphinx provide living evidence of their abilities and remain wonders of the world as we know it today.  What makes this period of history so enthralling to all of us and not just the historians is the mystery surrounding their lives and their belief in an after-life which could only be reached by undertaking lavish preparations for the journey between the two worlds of live and death. 

No one interested in history can resist being captured by the spell of the Egyptian Pharaohs from the still to be discovered secrets of their culture their unbelievable wealth and sheer opulence of their clothing.  And all of these points make an ancient Egyptian themed party the one to chose.      

As with all fancy dress costume themes there are outfits to suit all price ranges.  Additionally, for those more able with a sewing kit, your local haberdashers should be able to find some sewing patterns for the theme along with the basic material and all of the luxurious trims.  Remember for a Pharaoh or his queen, opulence is everything – they had it and they flaunted it!  

Alternatively, you could dress as a humble slave which requires something like a loin cloth which would be best make from a simple length of fashioned cloth.  For authenticity, this should be tea-stained to create that ‘worn for ever' look – open toed sandals or bare feet to complete the look.  Slaves would also normally appear to be dirty from working in the dirt and dust all day – but this is entirely up to you!   

For the rest of us, we're off to either our local costume store or we're going to settle down with our computer and search the internet.  All good costume stores and internet retailer sites should have an entire section devoted to Egyptian themed costumes covering all age groups from children to adult and at various price points.  Costumes offered should include Pharaohs and Nile Queens plus attendant hand maidens and other majestic styled robes.  And as this was a time of the Gods, there should be a few fancy dress costumes for them as well. 

As with all fancy dress selecting the right costume accessories is the key to creating that stunning look we are all after. Ornate necklaces, earrings, bracelets to adorn the wrist plus golden serpents to entwine the arm should all be considered plus no Pharaoh could rule without his sceptre. 

An ancient Egyptian themed party allows a cross-over between the age of the Pharaohs and story of Cleopatra and Antony.  His sizzling affair and later marriage to Cleopatra was played out on the big screen by Taylor and Burton as well as being parodied by the team in ‘Carry on Cleo'.  So here we have a theme within a theme as it allows the partygoer to select a Roman Centurion or Marc Antony costume and still be in keeping with the overall theme. 

We think that an Ancient Egyptian celebration will tick all the boxes for your next themed party and it makes a highly original theme.  With plenty of choice for your costume you have no reason not to enter into the spirit of the party and dress up. 

As this is a themed fancy dress party you'll want to head for a selection of Pharaoh and other Egyptian costumes and Karnival Costumes has an extensive range of adult's and children's themed costumes which are guaranteed to suit your requirements.
