The music, the melodies, the surprisingly good singing from some of the actors and actresses, all of these things made for a quite extraordinary film in Moulin Rouge. The sets were spectacular and the costumes were even more so (check out this Youtube video of all Nicole Kidman's amazing costumes) and have led to one of the most common fancy dress themes, especially for parties organised by girls for them and their friends.

The quality of this piece means that despite it's price tag, you can be assured value for money from many uses, especially as this outfit would fit in many other fancy dress themed parties.

Adult Sexy Moulin Diva Costume

Price: £26.99

As you might expect, with less fabric comes a lower price and this sultry diva costume certainly fits that bill. Possibly only for those confident ladies who feel they can pull this style off, the outfit comes complete with corset with lace and ribbon detailing, red shorts with black garters and a pair of thigh high black stockings detailed with red bows. Please note that the top hat, feather boa and cane are not included but can be purchased separately as required.

This costume is a combination of low price and brilliant, authentic craftsmanship which is guaranteed to get the guys' hearts racing. Probably most suitable for the summer months or when you are on holiday in warmer climates, this option is a popular choice for many daring divas.

Adult Sequin Feather Hair Clip

Price: £8.99

While you may already have some sexy tights or stockings and possibly even a feather boa lying around from nights gone by, the simple feather headpiece is something that is lacking from most girls' wardrobes.

This simple but elegant hairpiece has a scarlet red feather attached to a sequin clip and is ideal for any Moulin Rouge costume that does not include one from can-can dancers to saloon girls. It does not cost a lot but does add a touch of flair to your outfit and can make you stand out among the crowd.

Why Choose Moulin Rouge As A Party Theme

It is a chance to get all dolled up like a glamorous diva in one of the many Moulin Rouge themed costumes available. One potential outfit is the sexy burlesque dancer with its many frills and feathers or something similar such as a can-can girl or raunchy ringmaster.

A great addition to any Moulin Rouge fancy dress costume is a feather boa which you can use to keep yourself warm when necessary or to catch yourself a nice young gentleman and pull him into your clutches. These sassy extras cost very little but can really spice up a party.

To get a look that more closely reflects the film (which won the 2002 best costume design oscar) you could add a feather headpiece to your outfit along with a garter or some lace gloves. Other low cost but essential parts to a Moulin Rouge costume are the tights and there are many different sexy styles in stock at any one time.

So if you are thinking about a Moulin Rouge theme for your next party or have been invited to such a celebration we have everything you could possibly need.
