Twitter user Alina Pleskova found a book all alone, abandoned, and lonely on the curb and decided to rescue it, bringing it back home with her. She couldn’t help but share the photos, that has dozens of brilliant, wild, and hilariously bizarre costumes for kids and adults alike. Scroll down to see the funniest examples from Asher Jane’s “Fancy Dress” book!
Clever stuff. Also, I recognize Terry Jones as the cake
Donald Pleasance???
I don’t think these are that bad. A little dated some of them, but back then there weren’t all the Halloween shops and amazon. Some of them are quite good.
Fantastic!
This is great but then when i scroll all the way to the bottom there are these dumb ads like “do this if you have toenail fungus” or “this error in the bible has angered democrats”
Jane Asher was Paul McCartney’s girlfriend in the ’60s. He wrote a lot of songs for her.
Martin Shaw – must have been in his Professional days
This article had an unhealthy obsession with pantyhose. Never seen so many men outside a drag bar wearing hosier!
Huh, thanks Chris, never would have noticed that. Good that you have an eye for these things ;)
Wonderful to see MP’s Terry Jones in there. RIP sir.
Rodney Bewes and Alan Price also in there. It’s basically famous people having a laugh.
We had the heart costume at Landes costume company
I have this book- I love the costumes- it is great for ideas and it is fun to see all the celebrities having fun.
I have had this book for years. We had many costume parties and used some of the ideas. I tried to make the pants and suit jacket but the instructions were too vague and I didn’t manage it. Such a great book, though. I am still inspired by it!
Omg my mom had this book
Alan Price, Martin Shaw…..
I made the sandwich man ! My mum wanted a costume she could take of easily and this was like a tabard. She went to the party as SWell Bread Woman 😂😂😂
This is flipping amazing, and I am going to make several of these.
