I am going to a 50s party wearing a poodle skirt. Any tips on how to get that authentic 50s look?

Question

I need to know how the women wore their hair and make-up. What kind of acessories did they wear?
What kind of jackets did they wear?

Answer 1

When young women were dressed to the nineties in the fifties The "new look" was high fashion Girls dresses were just above the ankle or to mid calf stiletto heals, the higher the better ribbons for hair were fashionable every girl carried a handbag Girls did not advertise there sex No off the shoulder dresses plunging necklines or up-lift bras nothing like that Nearly every girl would wear nylons in fact they(nylons)were a priority

Answer 2

wear your hair straight in a pony tail with a bow. Women in the fifties had very thin eyebrows and major eyelashes, but the rest of their make-up was pretty simple. And hardly any jewlery (at least for the look you're going for). If you have a poodle skirt make sure you wear those little black shoes with cuffed, white socks. And wear a pink short sleeve shirt. And make sure your bow (in your hair) matches your shirt.

Answer 3

The poodle skirt is perfect. Wear your hair in a high sleek pony tail with a scarf tied around the rubberband. Wear a solid color sweater, or a white blouse w/ a sweater over it. Dopn't forget the saddle shoes ( black & white) or "skippies" tennis shoes with white bobby socks. Make-up should be just powder & red lipstick. Have a great time!

Answer 4

if you have long hair be sure to wear in a ponytail and tie it with a scarf. also try to find a pair of saddle shoes and bobby soxex. bobby soxes are what they call ankle socks today. find several crinalin underskirts to make the poodle skirt flair out and the be sure to be chewing gum. the in thing at that time was how many crinalins you could wear under your poodle skirt.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU75W

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 6

Starting with your hair, put it into a ponytail and tie it with a scarf. Wear a white blouse and tuck it into your skirt.

White gym socks and penny loafers if you have them. If not white or black girl's gym shoes. If you like jewelry a charm bracelet would set off your outfit.

If your a blond, you would the spiting image of my beloved wife. When we met and married in the 50's

They didn't wear a lot of eye shadow and liners, but a lipstick that will accent your eye color.

Open your blouse but don't show a lot of cleavage.

real cool baby really cool

Wear saddle shoes.. and make your socks visible.. Those really cute cat-eyed white sunglasses would be perfect.. and maybe a scarf to go around your neck or around your ponytail(medium height - not too low or not too high, but curled) - the scarf should match your skirt.. have funn

Answer 8

I would suggest a poodle skirt, penny loafers, and some sort of a sweater shirt. Put your hair in a very high ponytail, and make sure to add mascara and lots of blush. good luck, it was a hit for me!
