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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
