Rockabilly Girl
The 50�s Beauty

Rockabilly girls are
all about a sexy sweetness that reminds you of childhood innocence while
still exuding attraction. Their
hip, sexy clothing and their sweet, charming attitude make rockabilly
girls a lot of fun to be around. But
what makes a rockabilly girl so beautiful?
It seems that farm fresh combined
with a quiet sex appeal make up the rockabilly girl style.
Popular dress includes a form fitting gingham blouse with full
short sleeves, paired with a straight line wool skirt.
Of course, rockabilly girls are most attractive because they dare
to defy. In the 1950�s,
women rarely wore pants in public. Rockabilly
girls were among the first to make pedal pushers popular.
Now, they are referred to as capris, and they are popular with a
much larger crowd. These
pedal pusher pants were often worn with a cropped bust shirt, lined with
ruffles.

Some rockabilly girls wore swing
dresses in the 1950�s. Swing
dresses were very popular because they were stylish and sexy, allowed for
ease of dancing with a more flared skirt, and blended with the crowd.
Modern rockabilly girls often opt
for simpler styles. The
Daddy-O style shirts worn by rockabilly men of the 1950�s are now
popular among women as well, with a simple adjustment to the fit to make
it slightly more feminine. Also,
creeper shoes, once worn only by rockabilly men, come in all different
colored, modified to look classy on women.
Check out vintage clothing sites on the web to
find items such as cropped black velvet jackets, rollneck blouses, and
tweed skirts, all of which give the look of a rockabilly girl.
Besides the classic vintage wear, you�ll find many new items made
to imitate the 1950�s look. Though times have changed, and the original rockabilly girl
has been modernized right along with the music and movement itself, the
spirit of the rockabilly girl is the same as it ever was.
