Female pirate costumes are always a good pick for a fancy dress party or for Halloween. Pirate costumes are one of the most popular costumes themes for fancy dress. I’m not entirely sure why this is the case but I think they are a very flexible costume. You can be silly in a pirate outfit, you can look fairly realistic and for women, you can even look very sexy. And in some costumes you can look all three. Anyhow here are a selection of female pirate costumes to consider.

The rustic female pirate is a complete costume. It has many elements that a typical pirate from the Golden age of pirates might wear, with a few garments that a made for women. You could even imagine real life female pirates such as Mary Read, Grace O’Malley and Anne Bonny wearing parts of this costume. For instance the pirate hat and bandanna.

I guess they didn’t have time to cut hair in those days and the trend (for pirates anyhow) was to wear their hair long. The calf length boots with big cuff would come in handy to stop water getting on your feet. It seems the puffy white shirt is almost obligatory for pirates. I’m not sure if this is true in real life but maybe it was the style of the time.

Naturally the costume has been modified somewhat so that the wearer will also look attractive and appealing at a party. The shirt is shoulder less for example. And it is complemented by a corset or bustier that pulls in your waist and pushes out your bust. So it is a half and half costume. It looks fairly authentic but has enough about it to charm fellow party goers.

The second female pirate costume is the scandalous pirate costume. What can you say about this costume. Basically I’d say no words are needed, just look at the picture. It’s not really a pirate costume as such, although a few nautical elements have been added to it. Moreover, it’s intent is to wow and titillate people. If you  are game enough to wear such an outfit then you are sure to get plenty of attention. Be ready for a few jaws to drop when you walk into a room because that’s the likely affect this costume will have on people, especially all the Captain Jack Sparrows out there.

With Halloween fast approaching many people are looking for that ideal costume for the party or trick or treating. Pirate costumes have been a firm favorite for many years. Maybe it is the flamboyant costumes – the puffy shirt, the big hat with the peacock feather sticking out of it or the knee length boots that make us come out with silly phrases or have irresistible urges to have pretend sword fights. No matter what it is adult pirate costumes will always be popular around this time so here are a few choices to look at.

Pirate costumes can be split into three narrower themes. These are authentic looking outfits, scary pirate costumes and famous pirate character costumes. Of course there are outfits for both men and women. In the case of pirate costumes for women there tends to be another category that you could describe as sexy. The main aim of these outfits is to make you look alluring, flirtatious and the center of attention…oh and a little bit like a pirate. They are fun and titillating costumes more than trying to be a pirate outfit.

In terms of authentic pirate costumes, consider the elite pirate costume. His standard issue is a bandanna, sea tunic/jacket, puffy cream colored shirt, breeches and calf length boots with large cuffs to stop water getting in. He will have a belt and sash that he wears around the waist. If he was planning to raid another ship he might be armed with a flintlock pistol and a sword or cutlass.

In terms of scary pirate costumes, the Gravelords and characters returning form Davy Jones locker are ideal for having a scary looking pirate. These types of costumes are effectively a pirate costume with a skeleton mask or a ghoulish looking countenance. The clothing is virtually the same as  a regular pirate except that they may be gray or tattered to indicate the half dead or back form the dead nature of the character.

I shouldn’t take you long to figure out the type of pirate character costumes. Most of the pirates of the Caribbean movies have inspired many costumes, include Captain Jack Sparrow. Others include Captain Hook.

For females, there are plenty of authentic and scary costumes too. In fact there are probably as many pirate costumes for women as there are for men. It seems that everyone want to be a pirate at least once a year ! These types of costumes are very similar to the male costumes but with the odd feminine modifications, such as a skirt instead of breeches and a corset instead of a waistcoat.

With this said, there is a range of pirate type costumes that are unique for women. These are the  pirate wench type costumes. These are mainly alluring, sexy costumes with bits of pirate paraphernalia thrown in to give the outfit a touch of character. These are great costumes if you really want to make an impression at the party and are popular. In fact these types of sexy costumes are pretty much replicated over every theme you can think of, be it vampires, prisoner costumes, police outfits and many more.

The way we see pirates these days (well pirates from the 17-18 century anyhow) are pretty much a characterture of the real people. I’ve often heard the phrase that pain plus time equals comedy. And that formula holds true of our views of pirates that sailed around the Caribbean in those times.

We play them for laughs if the pirates of the Caribbean movies are anything to go by. And as individuals when we dress up in pirate costumes we also play them for beer and giggles.

You know what I mean, I’ve even done it myself in the title. Saying “yeaarrr” and “shiver me timbers” and quaint old phrases like that. If I could rest a parrot on the shoulders of the title I’d  do that too. But without resorting to the comedy element of the pirate costume, you can also get scary costumes too.

Here are a selection of adult pirate Halloween costumes that are kind of scary.

The scary pirate costumes fit into our heartfelt need to dress up as a pirate but also fit into the general idea of scaring people at Halloween. It covers both bases in fact – talk about value for money !

Most of the scary costumes are lifted from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and creepy seafarin’ legends like the flying Dutchman and the Marie Celeste. These movies are generally family orientated action adventure epics with generous lashings of humor. But they also have elements of characters coming back from the dead (or Davy Jones Locker). In fact, Davy Jones comes back in one of the films and he’s a real corker. There is even a Davy Jones costume which is bound to get plenty of attention at any Halloween party.

Anyway, adult pirate Halloween costumes are basically the standard pirate outfit – bandanna, puffy shirt, sturdy breeches, eye patch, pirate hat, pistol, cutlass and the rest. The scary element comes in by wearing a ghostly mask or a skeleton mask. These masks are generally not full covered masks, put merely a face mask that you attach with an elastic band around the head.

More elaborate masks, like the Davy Jones mask give a better effect . Check out some more pirate Halloween costumes.

PS. I couldn’t resist putting a parrot into this post – Squawk..pieces of eight..squawk..pieces of eight.
