Isolation Musicals - Six

The six wives of Henry VIII strut their stuff in this hugely popular musical that has been on tour throughout the UK before the lockdown.

We so loved the energy, the music and the costumes which are almost
'steam punk' and having lots of this style of costume in store, we couldn't wait to emulate the gorgeous costumes of the characters in the show.

Lisa Bridge chose a short copper and black striped skirt with fish net tights and chunky boots. We added a gold waspie belt, lace sequinned bra top and studded shoulder armour. We used a punk accessory for the leather armlet and a punk choker pinned into the hair for a 'crown' . A black wig was restyled into 2 rolled pigtails.

I opted for a cerise and black stripes short skirt and top combo, topped with a black satin jacket with ruched sleeves. An black satin underskirt and waspie belt set it off nicely and looked great with some black lace leggings and boots. I absolutely adored the massive bouncy ponytail with pink chiffon scarf and didnt' want to take it off!

Filmed in front of the garden shed in lockdown in front of an old pair of curtains and hairbrushes as mikes, we present...

Where can I get a stick on beard?

Stick on beards and moustaches are great fun.  They can transform your look in seconds and really enhance a fancy dress costume.

Whilst in lock down and face-timing some family members, I happened to spy a stick on moustache on my desk. It was quite superb, a black handle bar job.  I quickly popped it on and of course it caused an absolute riot with everyone.

It occurred to me then that perhaps others may like to lighten up a zoom meeting or family face-time call and have a bit of fun for a change.

Birthdays in isolation can be grim, but wouldn't it be great fun to send a gift box of beards and insist of seeing them all in action?

Why not order one of our beard boxes for zoom and have it delivered to a friend?

For only £22.00 you get 5 beard items; a multi pack of at least seven stick on moustaches of various styles, a quality large beard, a medium beard, a smaller beard or tache and a single moustache. The pack is excellent value and includes carriage and packing.

Why not dress -up for your next Zoom party?


During the lock down nearly everyone I know is using zoom, not only for work meetings, but for catching up with family and friends.


Zoom is a brilliant way for you to be able to take part in a quiz, group chat or have a party whilst in isolation.


Because most users display just the head and shoulders at these link ups, the dress-up set makes an ideal cost effective fancy dress outfit that works really well on screen photo booth style.


Why not entertain yourselves with some photo booth selfies? And get a set sent directly to your family and friends before your next zoom meeting,


There are lots of sets to choose from; Doctor, detective, cat, 50s, 80s, magician, hawaian and many more, so order here: costume-sets-for-zoom on- line now or e-mail us at admiralcostumes@btconnect.com
