Smooth MovesThe hand jive! The stroll! The Cha-cha! With all the great dances of the fifties, it's no wonder that their dance nights were so much fun that we still recreate them today! You might be wondering how high schoolers learned all those dances. That would be hard to do now when most students only go to three dances a year if they're lucky. But some high schools in the fifties often had a dance every weekend! Kids would just show up in street clothes, slip off their shoes to keep the gym floor pristine, and groove for a few hours. That sounds like a pretty great time to us!Design & DetailsSlipping into this sock hop kit is just as easy and casual as hosting a sock hop in the fifties! The kit features a circle skirt with an embroidered poodle patch, a pair of lacy socks with music notes on the ankles, cat eyeglasses, and a pale pink polka dot scarf.

However you wear this set, you'll be ready to rock and roll once you're all dressed up!Hand Jive PracticeAre you just pacing the floor until your sleek fifties costume arrives? Don't just stand there, use this time to practice a couple of your fifties dances! The best part is, you can break out this costume many, many times with different variations. Get wild.

Whether you're heading to a sock hop or a fifties diner for a special date, you're going to love this spin-worthy, fifties costume!
The Spirit of RockKids these days just don’t get it. They don’t know what true rock and roll is all about. It’s not about being some kind of pretty boy wining into a microphone about the girl who dumped you. It’s not even about ripping guitar riffs or meaty basslines. It’s not about choreographed dance moves or even cool music videos. Rock and roll is all about tight-fitting leopard print pants.Yes, that’s right. It’s a truth that 80’s rock stars knew. Rock and roll begins with attention-stealing style! We’re talking long hair that’s teased a mile high.

Once you have that, then you can worry about learning how to play guitar, or about writing a few songs.Design and DetailsGet ready to become the embodiment of rock and roll! This 80’s Rocker costume brings you the style that's the very definition of rock and roll.

It has metal snaps in the front for fitting, but everyone knows that you wear a vest like this open! That way your manly muscles can hang free on stage! The red pants have a leopard print design and have various patches on them as well. Finally, the black faux leather belt puts the finishing touch to the look that will have you ready to hit the stage!Encore!Of course, you can always create a look worthy of an encore if you add a few simple things to this look! Make sure to tease your hair, or grab one of our rocker wigs to get the 1980’s look. Also, carrying around a guitar never hurts with this look!

Peace and LoveWould-be time travelers pay attention! Wherever you go it's very important for you to blend into your surroundings so as not to alter history. For that, you need the right look...We often wish we could go back in time. If we could go anywhere, we'd go back to the 1960s. All the music, the psychedelic vibes, and hippie culture is truly exciting to folks like us who would love to see what it was like before we were all buried in our phones 24/7! Who wouldn't want to see the Haight-Ashbury district at its peak! Of course, we've spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of outfit would be perfect to wear, should we ever get our hands on a working time machine... Our costume experts went to work, once again, to design the perfect costume to wear to the '60s and this is what they came up with, and we think it's exactly what we wanted!Design & DetailsThis Flower Child costume is a women's outfit designed to make you feel right at home at Woodstock '69. The costume comes with a white dress with lace trim and wide, billowing bell sleeves. A faux leather vest with fringe fits over the dress since no hippie costume is complete without a bit of fringe! The flower headband adds the finishing touch since if you're going to San Francisco, you need to wear flowers in your hair (or so we're told anyway).Flower Child CostumeSo grab your acoustic guitar, and get ready to show the peace sign all the time because if you successfully travel back in time, this Flower Child outfit will blend right in! Okay, so time travel is pretty unrealistic, but you're going to look great at any retro party or any hippie music festival in the summer.
Imagine if you're starting an organized crime business. What's the first few things that would be going through your head? Well, for starters, you've got to make sure that you have your crime routes planned. Move product at the right time, making sure you're undetected and can get it where it needs to go quickly. Maybe think about having a plant within the police force, someone that can tell you what they're investigating and how to stay one step ahead of them. Then, you're gonna need the right crew. You don't want a bunch of babies that would turn tail the moment they get busted, you need loyal goons that don't crack under pressure.But perhaps the most important thing in organized crime...the dress code. Think about it, when's the last time you saw a mafia organization that didn't dress well? Every gang has their dress code, and the fellas in New York and Chicago were no exception. So don't plan to get into organized crime before you've got a solid dress code in place. For that matter, don't even think about going out for Halloween this year unless you've got a solid dress code. Because, if the criminals can dress well, why aren't you? We'd suggest this Deluxe Pin Stripe Gangster Suit for your next costume party...The suit is made from polyester material, and features a pin-striped double breasted jacket with four buttons and two faux pockets. The pin-striped pants have an elastic waist. Be sure to add a tommy gun and oxford shoes to complete this retro gangster look this Halloween!

These days we tend to think of spats as a relic of a fancier time, when people wore elegant things like top hats and waistcoats and cufflinks not because they needed them, but often just because they looked classy. Like most things nostalgic, though, we’re probably painting a little too rosy of a picture. A stylish cover for your shoes seems like the height of showy fashion today, but in reality spats were largely intended to protect one’s shoes from the grime of day to day living. It’s no coincidence that spats fell out of style around about the same time paved streets started becoming the standard in cities.But whatever their original function, slipping on a pair of spats today gives you an instant old-fashioned charm. Match them up with a stylish pair of wingtips or saddle shoes and you’re halfway to being a Prohibition era gangster or a Great Gatsby style socialite. These felt spats fit over your shoes with an elastic strap and feature a classy line of metal studs up the side. They’re a perfect way to class up any old-timey outfit, or just to keep your shoes clean when you’re walking those dirty, dusty streets..
Blast from the PastDo you often catch yourself thinking: Whatever happened to the good ole days? Yeah, us too. We don't know about you, but we're over all this "progress." Let other folks keep their newfangled doodads and fancy online dating profiles, we want cherry-topped milkshakes and school dances in gyms, darn it, and we're guessing you do, too! Sadly for us luddites (luddite=a person opposed to technology), times they are a changin', and we have little hope of slowing it down. But then there's Halloween...ahhhhhh...that blissful time of year when life can be whatever the heck you want to make of it! Consider this Women's Sock Hop Sweetheart Costume, then, because slipping it on is an instant trip backward in time. We think this throwback look is all you'll need to navigate a swell holiday in style—retro style, that is!Design & DetailsThis costume is straight out of the 50s and formulated to make a diner darling like you swoon. The skirt doesn't even have pockets to hold your phone! Neato, right? Designed to look like a skirt, top, and belt, this dress is as easy to wear as it is eye-catching. It has a pale pink, A-line skirt with a darling poodle applique, as well as a sequin "leash" detail. (Psst! This dress looks GREAT twisting on the dance floor). The bodice is fitted and collared and has a tiny poodle detail, as well. Tie the pink scarf around your neck, add bobby socks and Mary Janes, and snag a pair of pink cat-eye glasses to complete this look!Poodle Party!Grab a gaggle of like-minded gals and plan a sock hop to remember. Or team up with a few friends and take their hot rods out on the town. At least for tonight, you can silence your phone, put the emails on hold, and let the modern world fade away in this far-out frock!
Knock Her Socks OffYour gal recently did a history project on the 1950s. And now, she's hooked! (Plus, it doesn't hurt that she's watched Grease! about a hundred times.) She can even spout off the history of Sock Hop dances. Ahem...(let her clear her throat): Sock Hops were informal dances for teens, sometimes held to raise money for the war effort in the 40s, when the craze started to grow. Often held in a school gym or cafeteria, "sock hops" required attendees to remove their shoes to help protect varnished floors. Girls wore white "bobby socks" and soon, the term was sometimes used to describe the girls themselves who would frequent the dances. Cool! We never knew all that. You know what? We think your gal ought to throw a Sock Hop of her own, maybe for a Halloween theme or birthday bash! It'll be fun, and she can share all her new 50s knowledge with the world.Design & DetailsIn order to be the hostess with the mostest at her very own dance, she'll need a look fit for a bobby sockin' and boppin' queen! This Girl's Sock Hop Sweetheart Costume will tickle her fancy and have her squealing with joy before the first record even spins. It's a classic 50s look—steeped in historic details—comprised of a darling dress styled to look like a poodle skirt and top. The skirt is bubblegum pink and topped in a pretty poodle applique and sequin leash, while the "shirt" is white and black and styled to the times! Add cat-eye glasses and a stylish neck scarf, and she's ready to kick off the party by teaching everyone the Stroll!Sock Hop To ItYou must admit, it's pretty cute to watch her play out some of history's most iconic dances. You may be so swept up in the fun, yourself, that you find you can't help but kick off your shoes and join in the action!
ALL DIVA DUDES, REPORT TO THE DANCE FLOORWith all the dance crazes happening these days, keeping up is difficult. As soon as you start getting the hang of one dance, a new one goes viral. Mastering the art of 'the floss' posed more of a challenge than learning a foreign language and don't get us started on the trials and tribulations that came along with attempting Drake's "In My Feelings" challenge. (It almost ended with serious injuries, but spoiler alert, we survived.) Do you ever miss going to the club and not feel anxious because you aren't up-to-date on the hottest dance trends? Ugh, the good old days! Well, now there's a way to get back to your roots and relive simpler times when fellow clubgoers were doing the hustle and the lawnmower, moves that requires way less coordination and skill.

Plenty of people will thank you for it; us included!

The knit shirt has attached, iridescent, rainbow sequins and a wide wing collar. This garment also features real, functional buttons on the sleeve cuffs and down the center front. ACCESSORIES, YA DIG?If you really want to make a splash at the party with far-out duds paired with blast-from-the-past dance moves, then pick up some must-needed accessories too. Pick up the black sequin disco pants, a gold 'disco' necklace, platform shoes, an afro wig and a pair of aviator shades to imitate the exact look pictured here.
Dressed for the OccasionSome shoes are made for walkin'. Some shoes are made for dancin'. Some shoes are made for even more specific purposes, like working on a construction site, snorkling near the Great Barrier Reef, or tapping three times while saying "There's no place like home!" But other shoes are more versatile. They're clearly made for showing off, but you can do that wherever and whenever you like! (Maybe not on the Great Barrier Reef.) Product DetailsDazzle everyone who sees you when you wear this pair of Gold High Heel Open Toe Shoes for Women! From the top of the ankle to the tip of the platform soles, the shoes are surfaced with golden glitter. The underside of the soles and heels have an anti-slip grip.

HE'S A WISEGUY, HUH?Haggling for extra cookies during snack time is one of the many hallmarks of your little one's personality. He bargains for more playtime and wants to try making deals to push his bedtime back an extra hour or so. For someone so small he makes a very compelling argument and highlights some very good points. (We wonder where he gets that from, mom.) Your little guy is more like a little gangster and you love him for it! He's a tiny bit sneaky, slightly conniving, and he's notorious in his kindergarten class and the local playground.

The white suspenders button to the pants holding them up while the satin tie completes the disguise. Please note, the shirt, hat & toy gun that are pictured are not included. LA FAMIGLIA IS EVERYTHING Your whole family can get in on the mobster madness because there are gangster costumes for everyone. Dad can wear a pair of suspenders while mom wears a coordinating pinstripe skirt!

Diamonds are ForeverSome styles are forever. Glamorous ladies, throughout history, have always known that diamonds make for some serious style points. That white glimmer is timeless! Take the ladies of the Renaissance, they kept their hair covered and their eyes lowered but they also wove jewels into their clothing to amp up their style and make themselves stand out in the dimly lit castle rooms. Similarly, the ladies of Versailles had diamonds studded in their hair and dangling from their ears. The bright glimmer of diamonds has been a cornerstone of fashion throughout time. And the twenties were no exception. This was an era that was all about sparkle. While glass jewels often took the place of diamonds in over the top twenties jewelry and headpieces, this was a time when women of all classes had a moment to shine!Design & DetailsThis gorgeous white flapper dress has some serious glimmer.

Do you sometimes imagine yourself as a high society lady? We can see it, you're looking at flappers, aren't you? People from the twenties had high society down to a T. It was the gilded age so people really went all out. In high society, nothing was untouched, left boring and untextured.Cars had only been around for a short amount of time before people were driving around in shining Speedsters in bright colors with giant hood, sculpted to perfection. Those perfect cars carried around elegant people, their hair in perfect waves, faces powdered and rouged, and shoulders wrapped in furs. Those elegant people were headed to the theatre to see the talkies on the silver screen or the speakeasies to sip illicit hooch while listening to that new kind of music they were calling jazz.

Y’know, disco music sometimes gets a bad rap (heck, there was a whole stadium event where hundreds of kids destroyed disco records in a huge bonfire and then basically started rioting over how much they hated the genre) but we gotta be honest: We’re big fans! Hear us out: There’s nothing like a four-on-the-floor drum beat and syncopated electric bass line to get you off your seat and on the floor, ya dig? And those symphonic components…? String sections, flutes, horns, and electric piano, sometimes all in one song?! That stuff is LUSH!Also, you can’t beat a great back story, and a lotta disco songs got ‘em. “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps - often cited as the first “official” disco song (there’s earlier stuff by The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, and The Jackson 5 that sound like disco, but disco purists often argue that “Disco Inferno” was the first song that had all the technical and classic elements of a disco song) - was inspired by a scene in the 1974 blockbuster film The Towering Inferno in which a discotheque is caught in the blaze. Le Freak (Freak Out) by Chic was written after the members of Chic were denied entry at Club 54 (the pinnacle nightclub during the disco era). To vent their frustration, they began riffing on a song with the chorus “Freak Out”. And while disco may have died, just before it cashed it out, it gave birth to a new and enduring genre of music with the very first hip hop song, “Rapper’s Delight” by Sugar Hill Gang (hint: Listen to the song’s lyrics to find out why the genre became known as “hip hop”).So anyway! You should get this Mens Disco Shirt. It's got a classic 70s wide collar and front buttons, and it even comes with a black curly wig for an extra sweet '70s touch. Pair the shirt with some swingin' bell bottomed slacks and platform shoes, and you'll be ready Le Freak your way to a good time!
Nothing screams the 80s like an awesome pair of fishnet gloves that have no function other than to look amazing. Don't get us wrong, they do a great job of that. Just don't wear them around in the winter and expect not to get frostbite in diamond shapes like the holes in your new fashion statement. We guess that would be a pretty cool look as long as you didn't tell anyone the story of how you forgot the real winter gloves at home (eh, still not quite worth it.). Boy, what a weird time those mullet rocking ages were. At least the gloves looked really cool, even if they were also literally chilly as well. But if you do decide on that you might as well try a pair of neon blue ones to match the color of your frost bitten hands. Not convinced? Well there's always the fact that you can match these with any other radical neon colors we have, and look totally awesome at your next 80s dance party because nobody's going to dare put you in the corner with that attitude.

Style And FearBack in the Prohibition era, the criminal underworld had more than just power. They had style too. With those two things put together, the gangsters of the '20s were a fearsome force. They dressed as well as the respected businessmen and politicians of the time. Like those men of power, when they entered a room they were greeted with respect. But more than that, they were also met with fear.Most people dress up as monsters for Halloween. At all of the costume parties, we're sure you'll see plenty of vampires, zombies, and other gruesome monsters. However, everyone will know true fear once you make your grand entrance wearing this Men's Black Gangsta Suit Costume. It will look as if you just stepped out of the Roaring Twenties and you're ready to take over the town. Instead of ruling with claws and fangs, you will rule with an iron fist!Darb DetailsGrab this stylish costume today and be the big cheese, the head honcho, the boss on Halloween. This gangster getup is composed of 6 pieces that will make you look like a Roaring Twenties powerhouse. The first two parts are the most noticeable, the black and white pinstripe double breasted suit. It is designed with four buttons on the jacket, two of them being functional. The next four parts of this costume are all accessories. First, there is the white dickey. Then you will also receive a red tie decorated with the printed image of a machine gun. A carnation that can be easily pinned to your lapel is included. Finally, you can top off this ensemble with the lid, your new black hat.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to share your best dance moves with Liza Minnelli and Andy Warhol? They might have seen plenty in their day but we bet you could bring something to the table. That "dead leg" move you came up with in college would be a hit. The crowd might have consisted of mostly artists but that doesn't mean they came up with knee shimmying before you did. We don't have any way of sending you back in time but we think you could have shaped today's society if Studio 54 would have let you in!Now you can bring Studio 54 to your next party in this Sexy Disco Costume! It's the perfect length to shake and shimmy in your own unique way while remaining confident without wearing tights. The sleeves would have been all the rage in the seventies with a fitted shoulder and a subtle bell sleeve. The fabric is a fabulous geometric pattern of yellows, greens, and oranges with sparkly dots over top. The neckline has a gentle "V" that's perfect for framing one of those rad peace sign necklaces. The headband ties on the side and matches the gorgeous dress. Now all you'll need are some go-go boots to really impress Warhol and company. Whether you're dancing at a Halloween party or a wild seventies style club you'll feel funky and free. Ask the DJ to play some Bee Gees songs and you'll give everyone a severe case of Saturday Night Fever.
What do you think of when you think of the 1920's? You might think of that iconic curled bob that was so popular with all of the flappers. Or maybe those swanky speakeasies come to mind, hidden in caves or behind seemingly innocent restaurants. Whatever you think of when you think about the twenties it's no doubt that it was an age of luxury.The 1920's were full of strange activities. Public entertainment included strange activities like flappers sitting at the top of flag poles for long hours and barnstorming: an activity that includes chasing an airplane down in an open-top car, grabbing onto a ladder attached to the plane, and holding on while the plane did aerial tricks. With these crazy antics, it's no wonder why people still talk about the wild parties of the roaring twenties. And with alcohol being illegal, the parties in speakeasies seemed more intriguing and mysterious. It's also no wonder that some of the most luxurious dresses were made for these legendary parties. Flappers weren't afraid of flair. This dress would be admired by any party goer. It's detailed with golden embroidery, sequins, and long black fringe. With a bob accented with the feathered headband, a flapper would look like she's ready for the talkies.This gorgeous ensemble will make you ready for a night at the speakeasy, ready to break out those jazzy dance moves you've been holding in all these years. You might be dressing up for Halloween or maybe you're hosting a 20's themed party, either way, when you're trying out you shimmy with the fringe and the sparkly fabric maybe you'll understand why people still call the 1920's the Gilded Age.
Cool Cat LadyWe are not sure where the crazy cat lady myth started, but we certainly do have an opinion on it! We think that cats are great and that you can almost always fit one more cat into any house. For example, our office used to have zero cats (the shame!), but then we took a vote and decided to get an office pet. Unfortunately, we did not decide who would go get the cat and now we have 100 rescued cats roaming around the office!That sounds like a lot, but it’s not so bad! The worst part is that each day it is someone’s job to clean all 101 litter boxes, which takes about eight hours. But it’s worth it because we have cats that sit on our laps all day every day! Nothing makes costume design easier than having one or twelve cats on your lap!Mr. WhiskersesWe also had a long office argument about what to name all the cats, but, since we had already agreed on Mr. Whiskers, we just named them all that. Now our 100 Mr. Whiskerses love their new home, and we all spontaneously grew these cool cat lady wigs on our heads! It seems that twenty is the cutoff for when you have become a crazy cool cat lady… but that won’t stop us from getting just one more, will it?
Kids these days probably don't even know what a sock hop is all about. In fact, if you asked your little one, their eyes would probably glaze over; maybe they'd even look at you like you had five heads? They could also give you a solid answer like: a sock hop is when you put on your favorite pair of socks and hop up and down the block. Like we said, valid answer but that's definitely not the best description of a sock hop. When your toddler finds out what a sock hop actually is, we have a feeling that she'll want to attend because what kid wouldn't want to go to their school gym, toss their shoes to the side, then dance the night away to popular music?However, sock hops are no longer a thing. Sure, there are still school dances that are held but they don't hold the same sentiment. When your youngster finds out about this misfortunate news, they'll be a little disappointed but their chagrin won't last long because you guys can hold a sock hop in the comfort of your own home. Move the dining room table, rearrange the furniture, and let your living room mimic a school gymnasium!Once the heavy lifting is done, present your little one with this sock hop cutie costume, complete with poodle skirt and attached polka dot shirt, and let the twisting, turning, and jiving begin. Put on your old records or her favorite jams and you've just created your very own sock hop. Now, you just need a poodle skirt. Luckily, we sell ones in your size too!
Make a StatementLike the flapper gals of the 1920s, you enjoy making a statement with your style. As much as you love the standard flapper dress with all its gorgeous accessories, though, when you decided to dress as your idols for Halloween, you knew you’d want to find a way to push the envelope even further. Instead of just a bobbed haircut and knee-length beaded dress, you want accurate accessories. But not just accurate in a way that fits the fashion trends of the day, something that builds a character that’s even “edgier” than a flapper girl!Product DescriptionIt may not look as flashy as expected, but this 1920’s Flapper Handbag is exactly what your costume needs! Inspired by the small handbags women in the 20s carried, this simple accessory is the all-day bag the era was missing. Combining the understated style of daytime bags with the glitz and glam of evening bags, you’ll be ready for any occasion without switching handbags! Store your compact, coins, and smaller essentials inside the sophisticated black satin bag. The golden hardware keeps everything safe inside while the attached tassels and an art deco print make a fashionable statement all whenever you need!
Easing Into the Jazz EraIt's been a while since the 1920s jazz era was in full swing. Since then, our culture has been through a lot. We've traded flapper gowns for blue jeans, big band music for electronic beats, and Model Ts for minivans. Now, this isn't all bad. After all, wearing pants is rather convenient and we don't mind listening to music through Bluetooth speakers rather than cranking on a Victrola to listen to the same couple of records again and again. We don't mind handy modern inventions that weren't even dreamed of in the twenties such as the bikini, the ballpoint pen, and the internet. Still, every once in awhile it's nice to step back into a time when people slipped on sequined dresses and sipped illicit beverages in underground speakeasies while big bands kept the crowds dancing into the wee hours of the morning. Doesn't sound too shabby, does it?Details & DesignThis Shimmer Flapper Costume is Made by Us, which means it's been designed with both fashion and quality in mind. The Chevron pattern is lush with shining black and white sequins. The zig-zagged hemline is trimmed in a long fringe that will make any Speakeasy style shimmying pop. As the dress zips up the back from the waist, you won't have to struggle to slip the dress over your head after you've finished your makeup and hair. A whimsical headband that's studded with a long feather polishes this costume off with a 20s flourish, making you ready for Jazz era fun!Jazz it UpAre you ready for a costume that can be worn after Halloween is over? A great theme for parties from bachelorettes to New Year's Eve, flappers will never go out of style. You can change up your look by adding flirtatious tights, long gloves, and even different bobbed wigs! As flappers have been in vogue for a hundred years, there are plenty of modern ways to make this look your own!
We remember the 80s. Why, back in OUR day, cell phones didn’t have all these corn-fangled apps and doo-dads. There was no picture taking or video game playing around. The only thing a cell phone could do back then was make a phone call! And you have to walk FIFTEEN miles uphill through the snow just to get a signal. Then, if you were lucky, the phone would have just enough battery power to make a five-minute phone call. And forget about text messaging! Letters hadn’t even been invented yet, so you had to actually talk to people if you wanted to send them a message. Oh and did we mention how big they were? Why, you couldn’t even fit one in your purse or your pocket. You had to carry it with BOTH arms and that’s how you built character back then!This 80’s cell phone wristlet gives you a taste of the cellular Stone Age. It’s shaped like an old-school phone and stores a few your essentials inside. Like a real cell phone from the 80s, its ability to make actual phone calls is rather questionable (or non-existent) but it does go great with any costume you might be wearing to an 80s party.

Valley girls have taken a back seat as of late. At the moment, feminism and positive body image are all the rage, which is great, but can we admit a little secret?

Every once in a while, all girls need an evening filled with hair-teasing, overt ditziness, and repeatedly swiping daddy's credit card. Like... duh!

You rocked a pretty good side ponytail in your day, and you could mix and match neon hues with expertise.

You can use them inside or outside - no need to put it out when you walk into your 1920's party! The perfect complement to any flapper-era costume or even a 1950s look. In the case, a little bit of cash goes a long way for giving you an authentic look.
Sixteen Candles StyleRemember those 1980s fashions? Weren’t they just amazing? Sure, they weren’t always practical – many of the styles were stolen from less-trendy occupations. Those chunky legwarmers probably weren’t always headed to a workout: More likely, you’d sport them for coffee with a friend. Most of the totally rad Sperry Topsiders in circulation never treaded a yacht’s deck, but they sure looked snazzy on a college campus. And those amazing neon ski suits that every young lady was pining to have? We doubt many of them saw a single ski slope. But hey, if those ladies had ever wanted to start winter sports, they would have looked sensational while slaloming!Product DescriptionEmbrace your 80s ethos when you rock this Women’s Awesome 80s Ski Suit Costume! This powder blue jumpsuit is playful, preppy, and absolutely the last word in stylish loungewear. The jumpsuit has elastic in the wrists, ankles, and waist so that you can show off that gorgeous figure you earned from all of those aerobics classes. The sleeves are purple and the collar is neon pink because you can’t have an 80s outfit without neon, obviously! A yellow zipper closure runs from the collar down the front of the jumpsuit so that you can customize your neckline. Yellow, pink, and purple stripes wrap around the right leg just above the ankle for some added funk. The yellow triangle emblem on the right front doubles as a pocket - to hold your Bazooka Gum, of course!Exercise? You Mean Extra-Stylish!You’ll be queen of the slopes in this excellent 80s-style ski suit! Of course, your outfit is so cute that it really isn’t meant for actual exercise. Better stay in the lounge and watch the parade of medallion necklaces, high-waisted jeans, and Ray-Bans. Totally tubular!
To understand the disco era, you first have to understand sparkle. Sparkle was everything in the disco years, from the glittering disco balls that revolved overhead, to the multi-colored dance floors that lit up as you grooved the night away, to the cascading sounds of the synthesizers that propelled so many disco songs into a frenzy of celebration. It was flashy music for a flashy time, and if you were a disco fan you lived it inside and out.And of course that spirit extended to your apparel. Bright, sparkling clothing was one of the most important elements of the disco experience. When you’re out there dancing your heart out to upbeat, good-time party music, you want to reflect the spirit of the occasion. With an glamorous outfit, you could let the spirit of the music shine through you, with every bass line and guitar riff sparkling out across the room as you became the boogie. “Disco fever” may have been just a phrase to some, but once you got yourself a good case of it, you’d never give a second thought to finding a cure.Get down with your sparkly self in this shimmering, synthetic shirt in an eye-catching silver and black knit with a funky swirl print. With an era-appropriate wide collar and shiny silver buttons at the center front and sleeve cuffs, it’s a bright, flashy piece of glamour gear straight out of music’s glitziest decade. It’s time to let your funky light shine.
Well, well, well, aren't you the cat's meow? Now, don't take any wooden nickels!Don't you wish we still talked like those flappers of the twenties? They had a strange kind of accent, half British, half American. People used to train themselves to talk that way to seem distinguished and it was perfectly socially acceptable. Well, try that these days and people might think you've lost it. Unless you're wearing a 1920s dress, if you go all in it just might seem copacetic.Ah, the twenties. They sure didn't end well but people certainly had a great time while they could. It was an era of dual personalities. In the US alcohol was banned and yet it's an era known for its parties. Perhaps that's because with or without the hooch people were still discovering their freedoms. Women got to show their ankles without a big to-do. They could drive cars, ride bicycles, and most importantly they could finally vote. With the absence of corsets and long hems, women's clothing began to evolve. Playing with textures, draping, and different silhouettes: they were free to experiment. The dress is straight-cut as was the mode of the day. While the top is overlaid with black lace, the bottom is rich dark red velvet with heavy draping on one side for that asymmetrical look.Let's say you need the perfect gown and hat to wear to that fancy party outside of New York held by that mysterious millionaire. Any modern 20's gal would have loved this ensemble. So, now that you've found the dress, it's time to work on the accent, whether or not people get that you're trying to bring back the accent you'll definitely feel your swagger factor rise.
There are some images that are instantly recognizable. Albert Einstein, hair askew, tongue out. The black and white photo of a sailor kissing a nurse at the end of World War II. Construction men sitting on scaffolding in the last stages of building Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. These are images that are all over the world. Oddly enough, the most widely recognized photo however, is the rolling hills and blue sky of the desktop background from early versions of Windows.There are also people that everyone recognizes. President Obama. Princess Diana. Tiger Woods. Muhammad Ali. Bono. Kim Kardashian. Taylor Swift. Of course the most recognized people tend to be actors. Their faces get plastered on billboards, posters, in TV commercials, across newspapers. Perhaps, the most iconic actress was the beautiful, the sultry, the stunning Marilyn Monroe.We remember her beautiful blue eyes, shocking red lips, and stunning blonde hair. Now you can be as iconic as the lovely starlet with this Marilyn Monroe Deluxe White Dress. This is the same style dress that she wears in her most iconic photo. She stands over a New York City grate, her skirt flying up as she tries to keep it down. You can recreate this exact scene from the move The Seven Year Itch. Just find a fan, and try to keep that skirt down. You might even become one of the most recognized people in the world. Your face plastered on Time magazine.

Your costume’s classy jacket and pants make (crime) waves with their matching wide pinstripes. You can pair it with a black shirt, white tie, and wingtips, or come up with you own cool combo.

And if anyone snitches that the scars aren’t real, well...we know just who they’ll be answering to.
