Weird & Wonderful Costumes

While some people are happy just to don a homemade mask, sprinkle a bit of glitter in their hair and call it a day – there are others (myself included) who go all out to make sure they’re always a contender for the “best costume” award.

Despite what they might tell you, these looks aren’t just thrown together at the last minute but are normally months in the making.

Common costume requests on ServiceSeeking.com.au range from your standard fairy, pirate and sailor costumes to more risqué hens and bucks night costumes. You name it, we’ve probably seen it.

With the release of the new Alice in Wonderland 3D movie we’ve noticed stacks of listings for Alice in Wonderland themed costumes like the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat. Medieval costumes are pretty popular too.

There’s also loads of requests to look like the first lady of fashion herself, Lady Gaga. This ensemble normally involves teeny tiny leotards, false eyelashes, a pair of hot pants – and maybe a bubble or two.

And then there’s those costumes that seem completely left field. A recent request for a deep sea diving helmet fits into this category.

We often sit in the office wondering what sort of party the customer might be going to. An underwater theme is the obvious choice for this one – but then who knows!?

If you’ve had a costume made by a ServiceSeeking.com.au costume designer don’t forget to send us your happy snaps!
