St Georges Day Fancy Dress Ideas

Are you participating in a St George's day celebration? If the answer is yes, take a look at  these popular fancy dress outfits.




This seventies style dress looks cool worn with a red wig and red shoes or boots.






...or  finish it off with this funky St George’s wig. 




 This medieval St George hero, men's costume includes the top and cape, headpiece, belt and cuffs. Not only good for April 23rd, but also for themed Robin Hood fancy dress and medieval parties.






...or you can spend less and still look good - just think make up and fancy dress accessories. Wigs, make up and flags can be a thriftier option



You don't need to be a make up artist to apply a red cross and white background. This is easy enough for anyone to apply.


The St George flag is striking, and sure to get you noticed. You can fly it or wear it!
