Fancy Dress
I'm planning on going as a mummy to a fancy dress party in the near future.

However, instead of buying a shitty overexpensive costume, I'm going to do it with loads of bandages.

Anyone think this is a good idea?

yes it is a good idea
but you will have to either be careful about the bandages bagging, or have some contingency where when they hang loose it reveals dessicated flesh and bone

as long as you use real bandages
and not loo roll.

loo roll + parties + people who smoke = bad idea.

Are there not
sticky bandages that I can wrap around some old clothes?

That way, they won't bag, and should I need to do any kind of walk/taxi of shame I'll be able to save looking like a plonker in the morning.

pop into the charity shops
and get some old long john type underwear (or buy it new) and loosely sew the bandages on. Also allows for toilet trips without more unwrapping than Christmas morning ...

good idea
My mate did this for a halloween party once. Go to a cheap pound shop (he used hypervalue in cardiff) and you'll be able to get miles of bandages super dooper cheap. Get some tight clothes to go underneath and some safety pins to hold it together and tada! You're a mummy!
