Go to World book day costume ideas and you should find a large amount of ideas.
In addition to that,I've had a few more ideas since:
The three musketeers (D'Artagnian, Aramis, Porthos or Athos.)

You need a bit floppy hat (70's style)- add a bit white floppy feather if you can.
- Big white sleeved skirt.
- Tightish, high-waisted trousers- tuck them into your...
- ...Knee high boots
- You can make a tunic out of a stretch length of material if you'd prefer to imitate the muskethounds (DOGTANIAN!) . Make yourself a fancy collar out of material OR cardboard!
- Grab a sword.
Here are my costumes from previous years:
Guinevere in 2012
Helen of Troy in 2011 (in which the children voted me best costume and was given CHOCOLATE as a prize!)
aaaaand Catherine Morland from Northanger Abbey in 2010 (once I manage to get the photos off my phone!)
I'll add to this as I think of more ideas!!!
Great costumes!

ReplyDeleteas a great site for tutorials for kids costumes.
I was getting quite excited about WBD [I am only in school on Thursdays] then discovered this week that my school are doing it on TUESDAY as that is the only day the "Guest Author" can visit.
Professor Minerva McGonagall's outfit will be going back into the wardrobe then!

ReplyDeleteI've been Winnie the witch, Peter Pan and burglar bill in past years!
ReplyDeleteYour Helen of Troy outfit is really beautiful! Sounds like great fun!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to (fancy) dress up properly in years! The last time was for Rocky Horror but I used to go to fancy dress parties all the time. When I worked in a school I ended up going as a pirate which was fun.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the time I dress up at the vets to raises money for Pet Nose Day/comic relief? I wore the Nellie the Elephant costume for morning surgery!!!
ReplyDeleteI do think the Helen of Troy one is particularly good
