Stylish woman of the late 50's

In the 1940's there was World War II, jitterbug dancing, zoot suits and military chic. The 1950's saw the birth of rock and roll and the first wave of teenage uber-fans, who popularized the poodle skirts, cat eye glasses, and saddle shoes we know today. If you're going to a 50's sock hop, poodle skirts were the popular choice of the day. If you're going to a 50's theme party but not specifically a sock hop, there are plenty of creative ways to dress up like the 50's. Here are a few recommendations: Greaser and Bobby Soxer Pink Ladies and T-Birds (Grease costumes) Tweety Bird and Sylvester (Tweety was created in 1942) The Lone Ranger (1949 to 1957) I Dream of Jeannie and Air Force Captain Elvis and Priscilla, Ann Margret, or Adoring Fan/Bobby Soxer Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio (they married in 1954) Zorro (a popular Disney show featured this character from 1957 to 1959) Alice in Wonderland and Rabbit, Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, or Queen of Hearts (the famous animated Disney film was released in 1951) Car hop or diner waitress (the 1940's and 50's were the Golden Age of diners) Swing dancers - swingy skirt for the gal and zoot suit for the guy! (Jitterbug, East Coast Swing, West Coast swing and more swing dances were popular throughout the 30's, 40's and 50's ... and today!) Lucy and Ricky Ricardo (1951 to 1961) Ozzie and Harriet (1952 to 1966) Leave it to Beaver (1957 to 1963) - lots of options here, June and Ward, Wally and the Beave, Wally and Eddie Haskell 50's housewife - a demure dress with full skirt, pearls and dainty gloves A beehive hairdo and cat eye glasses.
