fancy dress costume

[mydogsandme]

I'm looking for some inspiration,people. I've been invited to a fancy dress party,the theme is film and storybook characters. As a fort-something female can anyone give me some inspiration? I don't want to go out and hire a costume,too boring, i'd like to put something together myself. Nothing too outlandish,I quite fancied getting something from e-bay,maybe 60' or 70's fashion? Lots of suggestions please.
