Fancy trying to make a pirate costume? there are many ways you could make your first attempt. You could make it yourself, or gather pieces you find to develop the look. Some great resources are second hand stores, where you will come across affordable and unique materials, clothing, and one or two accessories for your costume.
If, on the other hand you just don’t have the time to make your costume, there are some superb pirate costumes to purchase ready-made. You will also come across hair products you need to make your costume complete.
Decide if you want to look like a particlaur pirate character, whether it’s a historical pirate or a pirate character from a film. Pirate costumes are great fun for parties for women and men, and can be adorable for couples and children.
Dark trousers are a basic for pirate costume are dark pants and are often quite baggy, trimmed below the knee. For women, a peasant-type skirt is very feminine, and depending on your age and preference you can make it short or long. For tops, a simple and baggy white button-up shirt would fit the bill - if you can find one with ruffles that would be even better.
For accessories, look for tall boots, a pirate hat or bandanna, a sash, and a sword. You can also look for flashy gold jewelry to fit the pirate theme - remember this is the kind of stuff they were after.

Captain Jack Rackham may not have spent much time considering the natural beauty of all the places he visited in his pursuit of plunder. Dressed in his colourful pirate costumes he would have felt totally at home in his new world. Captain Rackham was also notorious because he sailed with two female companions, Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Jack’s life as a pirate however,did eventually catch up with and he was captured, tried and hung in Jamaica in 1720.
People today working in the various resorts, know the legends of the Caribbean. They enjoy the stories,and tell them as part of folklore and to entertain.
Despite the substantial rise in piracy off Somalia and in the Gulf of Aden, the amount of the ransoms being paid by western shipping to the Somali pirates is small compared to that lost in the Straits of Malacca. It is only a small percentage of the value of fish illegally poached by foreign vessels operating without permission in Somali waters.
Here is one explanation why so much attention is placed on Somali pirates. Somalia has been marked as one of the countries where a “radical” Islamic government is presented as a threat to western interests. The possibility of direct military action is a real possibility after the failure of the invasion by an Ethiopian force used to check the creation of a new government. The Somali pirates provide a convenient image to be held in contempt.
