So it is April 1st and on this day we have to be on the look-out for tall tales and practical jokes. (We’ve never comeOnly Fools & Horse Costume Ideas across an impractical joke – perhaps either because it didn’t work well or it was too difficult or expensive to pull off successfully).

Only Fools & Horses is today’s fancy dress theme suggestion,and it’s pretty apt as it is April Fool’s Day!

So let’s take a look at this costume theme for some ‘Only Fools & Horses’ Costume ideas…

And now on to ‘fools’…

Because it’s a Sunday, some of you won’t have to worry too much about wind-ups in the workplace, but here at Props & Frocks it’s business as usual (subject to your definition of the word ‘usual’ used in the context of a firm dealing in costumes and fantasy fulfilment). The fact that you are here means that you are looking to us to provide inspiration and/or amusement. We can’t offer too much help on the jolly japes – there are plenty of other sites available for that – but from the costuming point of view, we thought an event where people dressed either in equine related costumes or as jesters might be appropriate – only Fools and Horses!
