Flapper:  A woman from the roaring 20's with a little attitude is the perfect mature character to take on for the night.  Decide how risque you go with the length of your dress and play around with fun accessories like wigs and fake eye lashes.
VampireThe vampire craze has swept the “tween” nation, however it’s not just for the Twihard’s out there.  It can also be a very mature and fun costume for adults.  Grab some fangs and fake blood and you’re set.

Egyptian Princess: Dress up in complete elegance with this costume idea and even take a date as your Pharaoh.  This outfit is also easy to accessorize with jewelry and gladiator sandals.
Marilyn Monroe:  Take this classic costume and add a modern spin to it with black or red pumps.  This costume is always classy and sophisticated, but don't be surprised if people ask you to stand over a vent and pose all night. 
Marie Antoinette: Bust out the hair powder and wigs and don't forget to cake on the make up for this royal costume.  While accessories for this costume may get expensive, it's worth the look to complete it with jewels and petticoats.
