Below are three different 50's outfit suggestions for you to consider so that you can go to the upcoming costume party wearing 1950's fancy dress costumes that have more than a touch of authenticity.
Suggestion 1: Fifties Waitress Costume
The fifties waitress costume represents the type of uniform that was worn at diners throughout the country during that decade. It is usually based around a pink stretch-satin mini dress, which often has a motif for a particular type of diner on it, as well as a name badge. A white printed apron, black fishnet tights and a matching pink hat complete this type of 50's outfit.
Meanwhile, you might want to but a pair of Mary Jane's or other type of black patent shoes, which will finish off this kind of 50's outfit perfectly.
Suggestion 2: Stay At Home Mom Outfit
Kitsch and scrapbooking are totally in vogue at the moment, but let us not forget the decade they began. The Stay At Home Mom type of outfit is a wonderful 1950s fancy dress costume that usually consists of a colourful low-cut dress with an attached apron and embodies everything that was wholesome about the fifties.
These king of outfits usually come with a kitsch accessory, such as a cherry pie purse for example. You might want to think about buying a 50's Pin Up Girl Wig, with brown loose curls, to go with this type of 50's outfit to complete the desired look.
Suggestion 3: Blue Teddy Boy Jacket
The blue Teddy Boy jacket is a perfect example of 1950's fancy dress costumes for men and are nearly always based around a one colour, long single-breasted jacket.
These are great value for money and pretty much look like the type of jacket the Teddy Boys would have worn. Also they really look great with a white shirt and dark trousers, which you will usually have to supply yourself. Of course, the must have accessory to go with this 50's outfit is the Teddy Boy wig.
