Dressing up is popular no matter what age you are. Children love to go trick-or-treating and dressing up as their favorite character or animal. Teenagers and adults wear costumes to costume parties. Many who go as a group find it a great and creative idea to dress as a band, each friend dressing up as a different member. One of the best ideas for a group to dress up as is ABBA. Wearing ABBA costumes it fun, and it is very easy to find ABBA costumes than it may sound.

Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, then male vocal half of the group are a great idea if there is just two guys. Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid “Frida” Lyngstad are a rockin’ girl couple pairing if you are unable to have four people in your group.

If you aren’t worried about money and you have plenty of time, you could hire a seamstress to sew your ABBA costumes for you. However, this can be very expensive and nothing like as much fun as making your own ABBA costumes!

However, if time is not an issue, you will find that making your own ABBA costumes is a very rewarding and fun activity. To make your ABBA costumes, you have to know how to make, follow, and sew patterns into clothing. This will represent the type of clothing that ABBA wore. It is also a good idea to find a specific material that matches the bands. You should also measure each person who is going to be dressing up in an ABBA costume so that the costume does not turn out to be too big or too small. ABBA costumes can be quickly thrown together from items that are found in your local stores. You don’t have to buy new items that you will never use again. Buying new things is the worst way to make an ABBA costume. It is best to be unique.

Why not check out thrift stores like Goodwill? This will keep your costs low and might lead to some amazing discoveries. Even if you don’t find an exact ABBA costume, you might find some old-fashioned clothing which can be adapted. If you can find some suitable bits and pieces, you can buy and wash them then combined them for a great ABBA costume. Alternatively, you might need to dye several piece to make them match, but this is very easy. When you buy items from a thrift store, they are usually only a couple of dollars each. You can feel free to cut them or adjust them to make these items into a complete new costume.

The plain style of clothes that the band wore is easy to mock. Simple things such as vests and headbands can do the trick. It might be harder to find shiny costumes. Many times, thrift stores have many clothing items from the 70s and the disco age. Look in different areas and you are sure to find something. You should also look at children’s and baby clothing because you can find material that can be cut out and sewn onto something else. Or, you can use the clothing to make a new item for you to wear. With this, you are sure to find the colors and materials you need. If not, there is always the option of dyeing or drawing on clothing.

You will need to think about a dye or wig for your hair. ABBA costumes use natural hair colors so a wig might be easier, especially if your hair has been lightened or is porous, meaning a rinse-out dye might not rinse out immediately!

The platform shoes might be the most difficult part of your ABBA costume. You should start your search for ABBA style platform shoes months before the event, if you have that much time to plan. Once you have your ABBA costumes ready, you will definitely have fun and draw lots of admiring glances at the party!
