Rockabilly Swing Dress

Rockabilly women opened up the options for women to dress as they pleased, making it acceptable for women to wear pants in public.  They were the pioneers of the pedal pushers, cropped pants that were worn in length just below the knee down to mid-calf.  However, one of the most popular pieces of clothing was the rockabilly swing dress.

A rockabilly swing dress, although fairly modest, had a semi-low cut neckline, allowing women to show a little skin while still remaining chaste, as was required in society in the 1950’s.  The rockabilly swing dress also offered more flexibility than the standard straight line wool skirt worn by many other women who followed the fashion trend.  With the flair of the skirt in the rockabilly swing dress, women could dance more freely and walk without any restriction in their step.

A rockabilly swing dress was usually mid-calf length, leaving the bottom of the stocking-clad legs exposed.  These dresses were worn with typical peek toe shoes, with thick high heels and a small opening in the toe.  These were good for dancing and gave a great shape to the leg.

Once dressed in the appropriate manner, rockabilly women are ready to party in style.  Right next to their male counterparts, “billies” dance and sing along with songs consisting of lyrics about anything from cars to women, interspersed with gulps and yelps characteristic of the musical genre.
