IMO the patterns will compliment without being to coordinated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119689 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 18:33:54 +0000 Anonymous 119689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I thought the outfit could use a short cardigan laid over the shoulders, with one of those pretty 50's chain clips from one side of the neckline to the other to hold it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119680 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:37:39 +0000 KarinSwe 119680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think this either of these scarves could work? Or would it be too much polka dots, and patterns, with the skirt?</p> <p>Polka dot scarf: <a href="http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/68734035&#038;bklist=icat,5,shop,accessorize,scarvesandwraps,accsscarves" rel="nofollow">http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/.....ccsscarves</a><br /> Flowery scarf: <a href="http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/68733038&#038;bklist=icat,5,shop,accessorize,scarvesandwraps,accsscarves" rel="nofollow">http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/.....ccsscarves</a><br /> Skirt close up: <a href="http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu190/KarinSwe/Swing%20dancing/DSCF0052.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i646.photobucket.com/al.....CF0052.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119679 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:32:39 +0000 KarinSwe 119679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, lots of great advice, thanks everyone! </p> <p>Louise, I really like your idea about a high pony tail and chiffon scarf, I'll look out for one of those! If I can find a cheap net underskirt I'll give it a try and see how it feels, it would be such a fun add to the outfit I think!</p> <p>Rute, thank you! I've also been thinking about red lips, but, I NEVER wear lipstick, so I'd just be worrying that it's smudged around the lips or got on my teeth or something... But I agree, it would probably be a great addition! I've also been thinking about getting a wide belt for this outfit, but, there are a few small buttons on the top of the skirt, and I think it clashes a bit with a belt... </p> <p>Thanks taylor and stringy, and stringy, I love your idea for a conversation starter! I hadn't thought of something like that, but that's a great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119660 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 09:31:21 +0000 stringy 119660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea for a costume. The only thing I might suggest as a conversation starter is some kind of little electronic device or badge - it's what you use to stay in touch with other time-travellers, or locate your pod or whatever it is that does the travelling. </p> <p>Yeah, I read a lot of pulp science-fiction </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119613 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 03:00:30 +0000 taylor 119613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gorgeous make-up shot. Hmmm the letter T...I have no clue. I like Rute's suggestion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119564 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:15:08 +0000 Louise 119564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like this <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/50s-RED-Net-Underskirt-Petticoat-Tutu-Rock-n-Roll_W0QQitemZ390138190402QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAdult_Fancy_Dress_UK?hash=item5ad60c5a42" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/50s-RED-.....5ad60c5a42</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119563 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:13:30 +0000 rute 119563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh.. the make-up is gorgeous! But for the ocasion I would choose a bolder make-up, as the outfit is very light I would go for the 50's red lipstick!<br /> I would add someting more dramatic to the outfit.. maybe a wide red belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119562 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:12:33 +0000 Louise 119562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo great outfit. I'd put your hair up in a high pony tail, pop a chiffony scarf round your neck and a cardi round your shoulders x</p> <p>Edit- a net underskirt could look great too x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/costume-party-outfit#post-119559 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 23:08:43 +0000 KarinSwe 119559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to a costume party next weekend, where the theme is the letter "t". So, you have to dress up as something starting with t. To save myself some money, I figured I can wear the fifties outfit I use for swing dancing, and be a "time traveller"! I was wondering if you think the outfit is convincing as it is, or, if you can think of any cheap ways to make it even more obvious? </p> <p>Full body, no makeup: <a href="http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu190/KarinSwe/Swing%20dancing/DSCF0286.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i646.photobucket.com/al.....CF0286.jpg</a><br /> Up close with some makeup: <a href="http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu190/KarinSwe/Swing%20dancing/DSCF0307.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i646.photobucket.com/al.....CF0307.jpg</a></p> <p>Thank you! </p>
