Dressing up as someone else or as a character, can be as much fun for couples and singles alike. There are men who may agree there is nothing sexier than seeing a woman in a sexy cop costume or sexy nurse costume, and for a long time now many women have been heard saying they love a man in uniform! Dressing up in costumes is clearly no longer just for little kids, the big kids are drooling for a piece of that cake too and what better way to celebrate your next party than in sexy costumes!

Dressing up in fancy dress costumes goes way back in time, dating back to both the theatre, and national costumes / traditional dress. In Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome, servants would dress in elaborate costumes, often portraying a character, as a source of entertainment for the Pharaoh and his family. Heading back to the earliest tribes, special costumes were created to scare away evil spirits. This use of fancy dress costumes has developed over time, evolving to use in the theatre where they're used to portray a certain character. Dressed in particular costumes, actors can bring forth a character’s age, social class, gender, or even personality.

Other ways costumes have been used include the national costume of a particular country. Such fancy dress costumes are most often used for special occasions and celebrations. Many European countries such as Scotland, Russia or Germany have special national costumes which have become so recognisable they are worn by people all over the world in the form of fancy dress costumes or more recently, sexy costumes!

Dressing up in costume has become a great way to celebrate holidays and festivals, with sexy costumes for Halloween and Mardi Gras events becoming increasingly popular. The fun of dressing up in sexy costumes has also spilled over into the festive season with many people choosing to wear sexy Santa costumes or a variety of other Christmas fancy dress costumes to their holiday celebrations. Easter costumes, Valentine’s Day costumes, Thanksgiving costumes, and even Schutzenfest beer girl costumes are amongst other events where adorning sexy costumes is becoming a hit! The German themed Schutzenfest event and Oktoberfest is always a fun costume day for adults. Many sexy beer girl costumes, German barmaid and sexy Swiss maid costumes are making an appearance with the women, while the men can also look sexy slap dancing in a German lederhosen costume! Fancy dress costumes can be used in pageants (such as the annual Christmas pageant), plays, choirs, and dance troupes. The fancy dress costume craze is becoming more popular than ever with many people using any excuse to dress up in sexy costumes!

A fancy dress costume party is a great time to play dress ups just like when you were a kid (if you really need an excuse!) There are sexy costumes for everyone in a huge variety of themes; women’s sexy costumesmen’s sexy costumesplus size sexy costumes and more!

Days marred in modesty have somewhat fizzled out which means dresses are getting shorter, heels are getting higher, and women are as determined as ever to look and feel sexy and beautiful. Sexy costumes have burst out of the woodwork and are now an essential part of many wardrobes. It is also becoming increasingly popular just to own a collection of fancy dress costumes for fun and to share! A great collection of adult costumes will always come in handy, as sexy costumes have become very popular both in the bedroom and at fancy dress parties. You can find a number of risqué alternatives to traditional costume styles, for example, the classic witch costume is a shapeless black dress with a black witch’s hat. This witch costume ideal has been modernised in many ways, shortening the hemline, cinching it in at the waist, adding splashes of flirty colours, and wearing a pair of platform shoes to create a really sexy witch costume, perfect for your Halloween costume party!

Other kinds of fancy dress costumes have also been redesigned for the modern woman including sexy uniform costumes. Take the nurse's uniform for example, this was originally derived from the nun’s habit! Prior to the 1860's, it was a nun’s job to care for the sick and injured. From 1860 to 1940, a standard nurse uniform was designed, consisting of a long sleeved floor length dress, apron, and a frilly cap that tied under the chin. During World War Two, the dress was shortened to mid-calf, and the ties removed from the cap. The apron was also altered to a ‘bib style’ at the front. The ‘red cross’ nurse uniform was primarily worn during times of war. The classic nurse costume has been restyled for the purpose of sexy costume evolution, shortening the dress to mid-thigh (or less!), and adding sexy thigh high stockings, high heel shoes, and long, luxurious costume wigs. Sexy nurse costumes, as opposed to the traditional style, can be found adorned with feathers and sequins, sometimes only appropriate as bedroom role play costume wear, hence the term ‘ bedroom costumes’ or ‘naughty costumes’!

The sexiest kind of fancy dress costumes of all is the erotic costume! They are just like other adult sexy costumes, but are mostly worn to look sensual and arousing, often utilised as character role play costumes to fulfil certain bedroom fantasies! Erotic costumes may include fetish wear and lingerie costumes. Erotic adult costumes are usually restricted to the bedroom, or at 'adult's only' costume parties for those that are a little more daring!

Sexy uniform costumes are a common fantasy amongst men, as the costume characters often look like the real thing, but are a lot more sexy and revealing. There are a variety of adult sexy uniform costume themes including the sexy French maid costumeschoolgirl costume, sexy police officer costume, and other military uniform costumes. These uniform styles are intended to be worn so that the woman can ‘get into character’, and have a lot of fun at their next fancy dress costume party, or in the bedroom.

Motorsports companies around the world often engage the physical presence of sexy women in sexy costumes to promote and market their sport and events. These women will often dress in sexy racer or race girl costumes including short rompers with black and white check patterns or tight-fitting one-piece sexy bodysuit costumes similar to racing suits, advertising sponsorships and motorsport teams. Sports themed fancy dress costumes also include black and white sexy referee costumes, sexy women’s umpire costumes or even sexy women’s baseball player costumes complete with short pleated skirt, sexy knee high socks and baseball cap.

The childhood innocence of fairytale and storybook characters has also been given adulterous twists and turns resulting in more risky and sexy fairytale costumes on show. Sexy fairytale and storybook costumes are a popular choice for dress up parties, Halloween trick or treating and sexy fairytale fantasy bedroom costume play. Sexy Snow White costumes for women are in abundance and no longer resemble the long flowing picture book gown style we were accustomed to as children. Women’s sexy fairytale costumes are common in many styles with sexy variations on the original theme of the character. Some sexy women’s storybook or nursery rhyme fancy dress costumes may include sexy Alice in Wonderland costumes, sexy Sleeping Beauty costumes, sexy Queen of Hearts costumes, sexy Cinderella costumes, sexy Wizard of Oz Dorothy costumes, sexy Little Red Riding Hood costumes, sexy Mad Hatter costumes and sexy Minnie Mouse costumes.

Superheroes are an ongoing popular theme at parties for both men and women. Men often enjoy dressing up in a Batman costume or Robin, Spiderman costumes, The Green Lantern, Zorro and Ironman costumes just to name a few. In these villain and superhero costumes, a man can ooze sex appeal as the heroic good guy, bringing justice to all or rescuing his beautiful damsel in distress! Sexy superhero costumes for women suggest confident, agile, crime fighting hotties that will stand out in a crowd! Most women’s villain and superhero fancy dress costumes are made to be quite form fitting, and often this is all it takes to make your superhero look sexy... so if keeping the peace, showcasing your powers or tagging along with your significant crime-fighting partner is in order, then grab a sexy Supergirl costume, sexy Catwoman costume, sexy Wonder Woman costume or sexy Batgirl costume!

Another popular theme for sexy adult’s costumes, where you will find an abundance of sexy costumes to choose from is the 1970’s retro genre. This particular style of women’s costumes, funnily enough - didn’t really need much tweeking in order to become sexy! The 1970’s were an era of short dresses and mini skirts, bold prints with bright colours, freedom of speech and liberty for all! Sexy retro women’s costumes will set tongues wagging with super short hemlines and form-fitting fabrics. The range of bright colours and prints you will find in this sexy range of 70's party costumes is almost endless, giving you many ways to mix and match with your 'couples costume' partner, making accessorising your sexy costume with wigs and sexy go go boots a cinch!

Cute little kittens and bunny rabbits have a reputation as being soft, calm and innocent little creatures, until the introduction of the Playboy bunnies! A group of gorgeous, courageous women who turned these furry little animals into lustful, desirable sex symbols when paraded as an adult’s sexy costume. Women’s sexy bunny costumes often take on this sexy Playboy costume style, whether you wear it in light flirty colours or in the mysterious dark shades representing a form of bunny maid or after dark servitude. Women may opt for a sexy bunny rabbit costume with the intent of portraying this Playboy character, and not with the intention of coming across as a cute and fluffy animal!

Women’s sexy kitten fancy dress costumes are based on the same 'innocent turned sexy' foundations as the humble bunny rabbit however, there is one thing these kitty’s have that the bunny’s don’t... the option of turning into a tiger! Is there anything sexier or more ravishing than a soft beautiful little kitten getting its claws out and turning into an insatiable hungry wild feline!
