Costume ideas - rockabilly/pin up type styling ideas?



Recommended Posts

Okay, I am starting to brainstorm on halloween costume ideas and I am thinking about some sort of rockabilly/pinup girl look. I will likely be at a dance and it just sort of interested me as something to explore.

I don't actually know much about it, what is out there, how to choose something that is fun and flattering. I am learning to dance and notice that some of the ladies wear things with this sort of "look". For a costume of course I would go "all out" with accessories, hair etc.but it would be nice if the outfit could be recycled for other purposes too.

This is very summery... but I think along the lines of what I am thinking. Would love to hear ideas from you all!

How about white t-shirt, blue jeans, bobby socks, tennis shoes or saddle oxfords and a boyfriend jacket (letter jacket, or leather jacket? Or men's cardigan. And a high pony tail. Don't forget the scarf around the neck.

Edited to add: and bubble gum (sugar free of course)

Add the boyfriend jacket to the dress, with a neck scarf (to hide your hickey), saddle oxfords or tennis shoes, pony tail, bobby socks, blue eye shadow, and bubble gum. You will be a walking cliche bit very cute.

I have a sister who always wears dresses like that, and she finds cute little retro 50's sweaters to go over them so she can wear them year round. The kind of sweaters that usually are 3/4 length sleeves and have embroidered flowers or birds or designs with beads on them. She always wears mary janes and ankle socks, the lace kind. I'd stay away from saddle shoes and neck scarves unless you're going for the sock hop look of the 50's. If you want to remain true rockabilly, check out Pinterest, and do a search for Rockabilly, you'll find tons of ideas! For hair and makeup too!

I love the dress!

When I get to goal, watch out, I can't even believe I'm saying this, but I am not only going to rock my punk/goth look I love, but I'll do the whole rockabilly psychobilly thing too! I'm ready for some wild fashions! hehehe

We want pictures, when you get all dressed up!

Thanks! The second link doesn't seem to be a real website...I just got advertisements to made in china places. Am I missing something? Unique vintage was cool but I didn't really see anything quite costume like.

Hmm...none of these seemed to be pinup type.

I haven't seen anything better then my first dress I found. Might try to look for vintage shops here locally. It's like I have this concept but not quite sure how to execute it!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
