DH and I are going to go as a 50's housewife and mailman for halloween.  It is especially funny for us because I got pregnant either the day before he left for Pheonix or while he was there (o'd after sex...you know how it goes) and one of his good friends who is a mailman came over one day to help me move some furniture...so we are all always joking about whose kid it is lol...anyway, I have VERY large breasts (40DDD) and can't seem to find anything that will work for my costume.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    DH and I were a 50's couple last year.  I already owned everything that I wore.  I wore a white blouse and tucked it into a black skirt with an apron.  I also wore high heels and made sure to wear red lipstick.

    As someone who has to deal with that problem all the time (was an F BEFORE I got preggo), I'd say you really have two options. If you really want a dress, it's going to have to be made. I don't know if you can sew or know somoene who does, but it's a lifesaver for situations like these. OR, you can find a 50's looking shirt and skirt and pair it with an apron and heels, as a PP said.

     

    It sucks. I know.

    If you're going for the everyday 50's housewife I would go with a shirtdress like the one below since shirtdresses were like a staple item back then. This is from Motherhood and could totally be worn with leggings or tights for non-costume effect.  Just get a cute ruffly apron and put your hair in up in a kerchief and you're good to go.  This one's only $20 at Motherhood.

    If you want more of the Stepford Wife look I would wear either the dress below or wear a dress you already own with a cardigan buttoned up over the top, pearls, red lipstick and pumps and a sheer/frilly apron.  Make sure that you have a cigarette and a martini with you at all times too since that was still totally fine back then.  Wink
