Today, we are looking at a Witches & Wizards fancy dress theme.  Props n Frocks stocks a wide range of witch costumes from sexy to sophisticated, traditional to tease, the choice is yours. Wizard Costumes also include all things Harry Potter don’t forget. At least with this costume theme, you can always use it at Halloween!

Witches & Wizards feature in many films & fairy tales, sometimes disguised as other people, this may give you some costume inspiration if you want to attend the party in something a little bit different.

We have now had a hundred days of this year. In our ceaseless search to find weird and wonderful things to celebrate, we find that according to the True Knowledge question-engine in Cambridge, Sunday April 11th 1954 was the most boring day since 1900. Not much mileage in celebrating that, so we also find that on this date in 1775, the last person convicted of witchcraft in Germany was executed. Whilst we can be smug and note that the last execution for witchcraft in Britain was in 1684, the whole witch thing is not as passé as one might think: The British authorities used anti-witchcraft legislation during the Second World War when they thought a medium was obtaining Official Secrets during séances (and a campaign to get an official pardon was only finally successful in 2007), Meanwhile on the 2001 census, 7000 people listed their religion as Wiccan so, with only a few weeks to the next sabbat, Beltane, on May 1^st, now might be the time to be making your plans if necessary. On the other hand 390,000 people put that their religion was Jedi on the same census, and as they have their day on May 4^th (think about it), we can cater to all tastes here at Props n Frocks.
