Event intel

What We Love the 70s actually is

Disco-era weekender. Flares, sequins, satin, gold platforms, Studio 54 flash. The most photogenic theme of the calendar — a coordinated 70s group walking into a venue is the single best entrance fancy dress allows. Runs at Butlin's Skegness, Minehead and Bognor Regis.

Friday Arrival

Personalised 70s group tee, flared trousers, gold sunglasses, sequin headband. Lots of fabric without going full costume.

Sat day Pace it

Coordinated colour run + comfortable platforms. Don't fight the wig until tonight.

Sat night Peak

Sequin disco jumpsuit, big curly afro wig, satin shirt with wide collar, gold chains. The full Studio 54.

Sunday Recovery

Last day in matching tees + glitter eyeshadow that survived the night.

What to wear

Three ways to nail it.

The low-effort win, the headline-night play, and the accessories that pull it all together. Everything below is in this collection.

The squad combo

This is the bit nobody else does.

Smiffys do the costumes — we stock those genuine, direct from Smiffys as their authorised trade supplier. The high street does plain tees. Nobody else does the bit groups actually need: personalised group tees you can wear all weekend, paired with Saturday-night fancy dress that survives 3 nights. That's why squads of 6 and squads of 26 end up here.

“One captain, one delivery, twenty-one matching tees. Sorted in three clicks.”

  1. 01
    Personalised tees, our own. Names on the back, no minimum, no setup fee. Mix sizes and slogans across the squad. Worn Friday, Saturday day and Sunday.
  2. 02
    Genuine Smiffys, stocked direct. We're an authorised Smiffys trade customer. The fancy dress here is the same product Smiffys sell — sourced direct, not third-hand.
  3. 03
    Group ordering that doesn't fall over. One captain, one address, one delivery. Plus 5/10/15% off auto-applied. Nobody chasing 14 separate orders the week of.

Quick answers

FAQ

What's the dress code at this event?

Each Big Weekender has its own theme. Most attendees go all-in on Saturday night. For Friday and Sunday, personalised group tees in theme colours are the working uniform.

When should we order?

Quick. Personalised group tees go into production within 1–2 days, then standard UK shipping on top. Allow some buffer in case of a production or shipping delay — we recommend ordering at least a week before you want to wear them.

How do the group discounts work?

Auto-applied at checkout. Personalised tees: 5+ saves 5%, 10+ saves 10%, 15+ saves 15%. Need 30+? Talk to us.

Can each person have a different name?

Yes. Different names per item, no minimum, no setup fee. The captain places one order; we print and ship to one address.

Are the costumes genuine Smiffys?

Yes. Dress Loud is an authorised Smiffys trade customer, sourced direct from Smiffys.
