When choosing the costume make it more interesting by asking a friend along to help you pick, you know what they say i.e. two heads are better than one. By doing this you can make a day out of it, for example go along to the department store where you will be buying your costume or hiring it from - followed by a spot of lunch.

Bear in mind whatever the pantomime character costume you have in mind, the more unique - the better. Originality will get you noticed Famous characters in pantomime that go down well are Cinderella, Snow White or one of the seven dwarfs, Pinocchio or even Prince Charming.
