Answer 2

A site that has examples of clothing from every decade you asked is:

Becareful ordering "Rockabilly" items as they're aren't always accurate, and normally associated with the 60's. You can normally get away with a cardigan sweater, a button up shirt tied at the waste, and a high wasted skirt that goes down to below the knees.

When it comes to hair. Get started trying a hair style now, as it will take some time to get used to doing it (your arms will get tired). The most important thing is to have: sponge curlers, setting gell or hair glue, bobby pins, and a hair net.

Here is a site that has some step by step instructions to doing various hair styles:

Just remember the hair net for the back of your head. It really give it that "look". Also consider putting flowers (plastic ones) into your hair using bobby pins. If the hair styles are too difficult, you can tie your hair back in a ponytail with a bandana for a really easy "50's" look (but this won't work for 30's or 40's)
