Planning a girls night out? Take some tips from The Burlesque Boutique

We know that many of our shoppers are buying gorgeous outfits for a special night out. Sometimes it’s a Hen Night and sometimes it’s just a birthday or a do to celebrate a promotion or exam results. Whatever the special occasion, you want an evening to remember and we have some amazing ideas to create the ultimate party night. Of course there are evergreen girly nights out, or in, including pamper nights, movie nights and karaoke, but we also like to share some of the cool ideas that have given us amazing fun and stellar memories. We’ve shared before about going horse or dog racing but the summer is the perfect time to do something even more exciting - get up close and personal with some competitive action!

Head for the sporting section

Seriously, taking your bachelorette party to a ticketed rugby sevens, hockey or volleyball game will be an amazing experience to kick off your evening. There are several reasons to make live sport your focus:

•   The guys - well if you’re looking for male companionship, there will be many chaps there, let’s be honest! Assuming the game is being played by men (and we strongly recommend taking in a women’s football match if you can, it will probably blow your mind) there’s the ones on the pitch to admire, then all the ones sitting around you, wondering what half a dozen lovely women are doing in their usually male preserve … doesn’t sound bad, does it?

•   The endorphins - the reason people watch sport is they get the same buzz from watching as the players get from playing. That means that you’re likely to get a wonderful natural high from attending any live sporting event.

•   The yelling - jumping up and down and cheering on whoever you’ve decided to support is an awesome way to release inhibitions. That means that you’ll have fun and continue that mood as your evening heads to other venues.

•   The cost - because smaller live sporting events aren’t that well supported you’ll probably discover that tickets are pretty cheap. Food and drink is usually inexpensive too, and you don’t have to spend a fortune on clothes to get in.

Pulling together the perfect outfit is easy. You want to look good but be able to move freely and you’re best opting for a look that takes you from the stands to the best clubs without difficulty. We’d recommend a rockabilly look - our Cherry Print rockabilly circle dress is the perfect balance of glamour and accessibility. Top it with a simple cardigan for the game and swap that out for an elegant shrug to get into the glitziest venues in town when the game is over.
