Sexy Costumes From the Past!

BuyCostumes has some great new costumes for the upcoming season and it's never too early to start planning out your ensemble. I browsed though many of our new costumes and realized that a lot of them come straight out of the past. We have a lot of new costumes that represent different times in history and pop culture. We especially have a lot of great new, SEXY, costumes that could make a great group costumes. Or, put a whole bunch of different time periods together for a "decades" themes group idea.

• Prehistoric: Cave Beauty She makes prehistoric times look like something from the High Fashion Runway!
• Early America: Pocahottie This is definitely a twist on your typical Native American costume. Pocahottie is sassy with fringe and feathers! You'll be sure to casue some tribal trouble in this dress.
• 1920's: Gatsby Girl Celebrate the Roarin 20's with this ROARIN costume. She's a 1920's flapper and has TONS of glitter. I like this one again, becasue its pretty simple but with some great personalization no one will have a costume as great as this! Pair it with these Cute Heels!
• 1940's: Ahoy There Hottie A sailor never looked so good. Go back to the time when the "good old boys" were at war and women had to step up. This dress is patriotic red, white, and blue and has classic details like an anchor and gold buttons.
• 1950's: Mini Poodle Skirt This not your mom's costume! HOP into the 50's with this super cute poodle skirt. It comes in pink or red so get a couple of the girls together and no one will ever have looked so good in a "vintage" skirt.
• 1960's: Hippie Chick A grovvy costume for a groovy girl. It's really colorful and easy to dance in! You will get everyone's attention when you walk into the room. Make love, not war!
• 1970's: 70's Disco Queen I'm loving the metallic look of this dress. The neckline cut is right from the disco floor, and heck, you'll be a portable Disco ball. Listen to some ABBA and don't forget the 70's wig. Got some Saturday Night Fever? Would be great for a couple's costume by pairing with this guy!
• 1980's: 80's Rock Star Anything from the 80's is a great idea for a costume. Anyone is bound to have something fro the 80's lying around her house and 80's costumes=80's Music! This costume is really cute and simple, but pair with some colorful accesories and you will stand out among the rest.
• 1990's... errr 1960's?: British Flag Dress You could represent the Smashing 60's or one of the spiciest girls from the 90's! Another great idea: do an "Around the World" theme and use this dress to show off your UK Pride!
• 2000: Go Green Girl The latest trend right now, ORGANIC! Wear this costume and let everyone know how environmentally conscious you are.
