Hood Fancy Dress

By far the most popular type of Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress costume are those sexy versions of the outfit that are guaranteed to get all the Big Bad Wolves at the party howling with delight. Perhaps this is not too surprising when we consider the origins of this well-loved fairy-tale that has now become a children's bedtime story.
This is a fairy-tale that has changed significantly over the years and literary historians debate whether the original tale was in fact a metaphor for a girl's journey into womanhood, where she first discovers her sexuality. A far cry from the story we all know and love today.
Sexy Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress outfits are usually based around a red or red, black and white mini dress, together with a red hooded cape. There are certainly some good sexy Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress costumes available at specialist online websites, but if you really want to look the part then you are definitely going to need to purchase some cool accessories.
Below are four such accessories to help make your sexy Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress outfit look sensational.
Sexy head wear
Most Red Riding Hood outfits come with a red hooded cape, however, you may want to purchase some additional head wear to transform your look further. A special red felt hat, complete with attached blonde plaits, is a good way to achieve this.
A sexy petticoat and tights
A short red petticoat, with a lace trim at the hem, will not only add to the sexy look of your costume, but more importantly it will give volume and bounce to the bottom of your mini dress. Meanwhile, a pair of red fishnet tights are a great little touch to add to your costume's sex appeal, but at the same time make you feel less exposed.
Some sexy footwear
Quite often the right footwear can make a big difference to the overall look of your outfit and this costume is no exception. A pair of sexy black thigh high boots, with a full length zip fitted, will finish your costume perfectly.
A wolf's head in a basket
Okay, perhaps this accessory will not add too much to your outfit's sex appeal, although it could be argued that it gives your character a certain kind of empowerment. Nonetheless, this is a great accessory for any Little Red Riding Hood costume and consists of a durable PVC basket with dual handle, an attached red and white gingham lining and a removable hand painted latex head wearing Grandma's gingham cap.

Little red dress

Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress costumes are quite a popular form of fairy-tale outfit, especially for couples going to a themed costume party together, whereby the lady goes dressed in a Little Red Riding
Hood outfit and the man goes dressed as the Big Bad Wolf.
Origins of the classic fairy-tale can be traced back to oral versions of the story, which came from a number of different European countries. However, it was not until the 19th century that the Brothers Grimm first wrote out the story as we know it today. Importantly, this version of the tale was the first recognised version to have a happy ending.
Such is this fairy-tale's place in our popular culture that Little Red Riding Hood fancy dress costumes are extremely popular at Halloween and at costume parties throughout the year, this is despite the fact that there has never been a Walt Disney production of the story, nor any other major film of note. Nonetheless, it remains one of the nation's top bedtime stories and perhaps that is why the Little Red Riding Hood outfit remains so popular.

Nowadays, there are a number of great looking costumes to choose from, available at specialist websites online. Below are three different outfit suggestions that you may wish to consider, in order to turn heads at the party.
The classic outfit
The classic outfit is probably the nearest costume to how we all picture the innocent young girl on her way to her grandma's cottage in the middle of the woods. These costumes are usually quite conservative in style and are based around a red dress and a red hooded cape. The must have accessory is of course a basket and some of these come with a wolf's head inside.
The sexy outfit
The sexy costumes seem to be even more popular than the classic outfit nowadays. They are usually based around a mini dress, which is often red, white and black, and a red hooded cape. Accessories usually include fishnet stockings and even knee high black leather boots. They are costumes that ooze sex appeal and strongly suggest that perhaps Red Riding Hood is not quite as innocent as she first appears.
The Big Bad Wolf outfit
For a man wanting to go to a Little Red Riding Hood themed party there is really only one choice of outfit. The Big Bad Wolf fancy dress costume comes in a few different styles, but perhaps the best variation are those that feature the wolf in grandma's dressing gown and mop hat.
