Buying ABBA Costumes Online

The trouble with a screaming '70s disco look is that there�s a price to pay for all that satin. Good ABBA costumes are just not going to come cheap, unless you�re lucky. However, if you want to make an investment, it�s a costume that will last, so you might want to start memorizing the lyrics to Fernando now.

Costume Shop refers to its costumes as �Deluxe '70s Disco Costume,� rather than ABBA costumes, but the effect is the same. You can get a green, blue, fuchsia or silver shiny pantsuit, each highlighted with gold. The long sleeves feature giant bells extending from the elbow and there are three layered ruffles below the knee. The collars are high and fold over, the bodices lace up the front and giant gold belts complete the look. These are for women only, come in small, medium and large and retail for $299.95. The good news is that shipping is free on any order over $200.

It seems the British are bigger ABBA fans than Americans, or at least are more into dressing as the Swedish sensations for costume parties. Dozens of online stores based in the UK sell ABBA costumes, and many will ship to the states, so if you don�t mind paying higher shipping costs for fabulous costumes, give these a whirl:

* Party Pants sells a great pantsuit for women in shiny blue and silver. The sleeves and pant bottoms finish in large bells, and there is a high collar and a belt. They make a point of telling you that the costume will start to fray after one or two wears, which is why it�s sold at the budget price of 42 pounds, which in current dollars is about $80. But you can get an exact price before purchasing, as they have a whole section set up for non-UK buyers, including a currency converter. For an additional 16 pounds, you can buy either a long blond or henna red wig to perfect your look.

If you�re wondering about the men, Party Pants has them covered, too, with a matching silver and blue shiny shirt at 27 pounds. They�ll have to supply their own trousers, but can get a blond wig for 13.50.
