50s costume outfits simply make sense for adult men and sexy women in regular or plus sizes as well as boys and girls of all ages; kid teens, child toddlers, baby infants.

While the men were off fighting in World War II, the women worked in the factories and weren’t what we would call fashion divas. Fabric was rationed and money was scarce. After the war, a more feminine era re-surfaced and the 50s outfit costumes that were offered in the store and in sewing patterns showed that we were enjoying happier times and wearing more attractive clothing.

All kinds of new fabrics became available and the new styles included full skirts with crinoline petticoats. Other silhouettes showed off our hourglass figures. Twiggy had not yet surfaced.  Shirt dresses, bolero jackets, Peter Pan collars and the swinging poodle skirt were the norm. Many of us are still around to remember wearing the mass produced fashions of the 1950s and our children have seen the photos. We can enjoy recreating those memories. All we have to do is purchase costumes popular at that time, and wearing them for Halloween parties, trick or treating or other venues. Check out our suggestions below for fifties outfits that will make our hips swing as we walk.

50s Hop With Poodle Skirt Adult Outfit Costume
Available in Adult Sizes of Medium and Large

The 50s Hop with Poodle Skirt Adult Outfit Costume featured below was offered for sale in many colors and designs at the famous sock hops in our schools and community centers.

This pink sweater with a black Peter Pan collar and black trim on the short sleeves atop a full black flannel skirt with the figure of a poodle on the front was typical. Some children and young adults dared to get a poodle haircut and then couldn’t wait for it to grow out.

Although saddle shoes and socks are not furnished as part of the costume, you can easily buy them separately. Going to meet friends at a dance fondly called a Sock Hop and then driving to the local drive-in eatery afterwards on a Saturday night was a highlight during those years. This costume is labeled for adults but it runs small so that teenagers can easily have fun wearing it. It was an innocent time of life and filled with fun and great memories. The prices are low right now so why not buy what you need and be ready for your next costume party.

It’s time for a costume party and the theme of it will be the golden years of Hollywood. The 50s Marilyn Monroe Golden Glamour Outfit will play a big part in transporting you into portraying a sexy blond bombshell. You’ll be the center of attention wherever you wear this costume. This floor length sparkling gold gown offers an elegant entrance to the dance floor and the halter neckline will make you look super hot with its ruching on the bodice.  The stunning design of the flowing skirt looks just as great from the back.

If you don’t have long blond hair, why not buy a wig and a pair of strappy gold sandals to add to the sexy look. This is officially licensed Marilyn Monroe merchandise and is not cheap looking at all. It will look great on a plus size woman as well and is designed not to show too much. Any adult woman wearing this gown will have men turning their heads so fast they’ll get a crick in their necks. Discounted prices are often listed so don’t miss out. You won’t find many costumes with this much glamour, style and panache. Dress your man in a tux and dance the night away.

Clothes and fashion do make a difference and it would be the perfect occasion for which to buy costumes for yourself and your child at the lowest prices of the year. These outfits can be worn again and again without losing their luster. The 1950’s may be long gone, but the good times don’t have to be.
