So the Pope arrived in Scotland today for his historic state visit to the UK as head of the Vatican and Catholic Church around the world. There has been controversy and celebration in equal measure regarding Benedict XVI’s trip, which is the first by a Pontiff since his predecessor John Paul II in 1982.

The visit will last for several days as the Pope travels to different parts of the country and no doubt it will continue to be covered extensively by the media. But what does all this have to do with fancy dress I hear you ask? Well, if you’re off to a fancy dress party this weekend or over the next few weeks then why not choose a costume that’s with the moment and very topical.

We’ve had lots of calls and emails recently asking for Pope fancy dress outfits and as ever we’re happy to help. The first Pope fancy dress costume has a more traditional look to it with long robe and scull cap included and is available in a standard and XL size while the second option we have for a Pope costume has an off white robe, mitre hat and cross.

Either one is a lot of fun and we’re pretty sure that fellow party goers will recognise who you have dressed up as!
