Happy Easter!

Take a look at this artwork from yester-year, frankly the Easter Bunny in question is terrifying! At fancydress.com we have a totally different take on the whole thing, perhaps its because we enjoy so much Easter chocolate!

Below are a few of our favorite chicks and bunnies to make sure that you are not left on the hop at the Easter Egg Hunt!

Our Fuzzy Chicken has an open face, there is no hiding your ID!

Nobody will know it is you in our Deluxe Mascot Bunny so the Easter Bunny keeps his secret for another year.

Have you ever seen a Bunny wearing a waist coat? Well if you do he will be hiding Easter Eggs!

This Chicken lays chocolate eggs, but only if you feed it magic food!

What Katie Did Next at Angels Fancy Dress!

You know that time of year when Christmas is over and New Year has yet to arrive, it can be a bit boring, right? No - not for us. The website was heaving, rushing out the orders that were placed over Christmas so that you could be properly dressed for your New Year’s Eve party.

The shop was also buzzing! Lots of you came in to see us and buy and hire a fantastic range of clothing, we look forward to seeing your snaps!

Katie Price popped in for a quick costume; both she and Alex were dressing for the festivities before Alex left to go into the Big Brother House. Normally we can turn a costume around quickly but Ms Price was with us for 3 hours as she had a film crew with her. See What Katie Did Next at angels Fancy Dress – coming to your screens soon!

Katie selected three costumes, two of them from our hire selection: a pumpkin and a Cruella. And then from our costumes to purchase she chose a Miss Mouse, whilst Alex hired a Greek God outfit. We would not dream of sharing any photos with you as they are protected. The Mail Online reports that ‘Katie made everyone sign a confidentiality agreement not to, as her TV show had the exclusive.’

Here is our hire pumpkin complete with stick on face details, Katie had the pumpkin unadorned. Her choice of a Miss Mouse costume is really cute!


	The Pumpkin costume is from our Hire Range	Miss Mouse is a popular sale costume

We also dressed Duncan James (of Blue fame) as Prince Charming and Sheridan Smith (2 Pints of Lager & A Packet Of Crisps) as a fairy.

Apparently great fun was had by all!
