Aladdin/Arabian Nights costume

I have an Aladdin/Arabian Nights themed 18th to go to and have nooo idea what to wear! I'll probably only be going for a couple of hours because chances are I'll have to start work early the next day (whyyyy have your party on a Friday night?!) and also I'm poor, so I really don't want to hire a costume, especially if I'm not going to be wearing it for long. I feel like I have to get dressed up though, but unfortunately it's not as easy as the last costume party I went to (cowboys) - it's not like I just have random Arabian Nights-style clothes lying around. Any ideas?

Go as Rajar!!
(ie the tiger)

but i guess that kinda involves a lot....

look, i would let you borrow my Jasmine costume, but I got it when I was 8 and havent worn it since then....so I doubt it'll fit you.

Okay, well for the tiger just get ears, draw a nose on with eyeliner and make a tail

But for Jasmine, just get big hoop earings, umm a flowing skirt, or if you are brave sheer fabric to make into a skirt, and a top in a matching colour should do it.

Oooh you're clever. This may call for a visit to the op shop, methinks. Thanks!

And Steph, thanks so much for the offer, maybe if I hit the gym now I might be able to drop enough kilos to fit into it? haha

haha sweet, i'm ironing it out as we speak

Ok, it isn't strictly Aladdin which makes it easier. Just wear some long flowy bottoms (skirt or pants) and a belly-top. Then get some scrap fabric and tie it arouns your face.
