Dresses:
Rockabilly dresses are tight fit. They outline and enhance your figure. Choose halter dresses with sweat heart necks and tight fitted waists which accentuate your appearance. Dresses with frills and loud patterns are so rockabilly! Pencil skirts and swing skirts can also be worn for the outlook. Choose cropped trousers. Any shirt that you wear should have short sleeves. The patterns most common in rockabilly are polka dots, floral, checked and leopard print. The most used colours are black, white, red and navy. They can be used alone and in combination with each other. -

Hair:
Black is the most common hair colour. Dye your hair to a shade of deep black. Put on bows and bands as without them the look is incomplete. Fake flowers and pins are going to serve the purpose. You also need retro glasses to go with the entire outfit. -
