Fancy DressTwo words that fill me with dread. Fancy Dress. Some people really get off on this - last party I went to that involved dressing up, one bloke came in a sort of fetish-nazi outfit, all tight black pvc, whips and jackboots.* Which would have been OK but it was a Eurovision party, and he'd come as Austria.
What's the worst costume you've encountered? Or worn? Or been made to wear...
*and no, it wasn't one of them royals

My mum...When i was in year three we had a festive Christmas bash, lots of silly little happy songs and pulling crackers ect ect, to entertain us wee ones at my school. However then dreaded title came out and started out my great legacy that haunts me still... Fancy dress.
My mum made me a Christmas tree outfit, complete with large spiky coat hangers to make my leaves stick out and baubles. People still comment on it to this day *and im in upper 6th now* I did win first prize though :)
Another one was a year 5 'stars in their eyes' mock production and i of course being all confident back then put my hand up to be in it but had no idea who to be. So of course off i toddle home and my sister happens to be home for the weekend and bearing in mind this is the 90's and she is in her hipster uniform.
She recommended i go as Jarvis Cocker of Pulp fame... i did. So to this day i am also haunted by people remembering me as 'Jarvis' and i sang Common people in front of all the audience with the mum and dads watching *my teacher told me though to change the words from sleep with to be with, and at the time never understood why.*
