Rockabilly music was a major hit in the
mid-1950’s that created a huge sub-culture.
As a rebellious style of music (think of Elvis Presley and his
“swaying hips” that caused a huge controversy), it would make sense
that those who jump on the bandwagon and follow the style would dress in a
controversial manner. Rockabilly
womens clothing worked hard to do so, breaking rules while still remaining
sexy.
Though some rockabilly womens
clothing were less obviously rebellious, some was made to attract
attention and push forward an attitude that rules were made to be broken.
Simple rockabilly womens clothing that was not so off
the beaten path included form-fitting gingham blouses with short full
sleeves, paired with straight skirts that showed off sleek, long legs.
Other women opted for a swing dress, which was lower cut at the top
and had more of a flare to the skirt that was a lot less restrictive for
dancing.

Rockabilly womens mens clothing
were among the first articles of clothing to include pants for women as a
normal clothing item. The
pedal pushers worn as part of rockabilly womens clothing were completely
unacceptable in society and were a very rebellious movement.
However, they opened up a new path for women, who almost
immediately latched on and began wearing what are now referred to as
capris.
Today, rockabilly womens clothing
includes Daddy-O style shirts have been brought into the 21st
century for womens mens fashion, with form fitting shape that wasn’t
offered back in the 1950’s. Creeper
shoes have also been created in every color under the sun for women as
well as men.
If you’re looking for vintage rockabilly womens clothing, start with the internet.
You’ll find a mixture of vintage rockabilly womens clothing left over from the 1950’s (some,
you’ll find, is in much better shape than others), as well as newly
manufactured items made in imitation of the 1950’s icons that a
rockabilly woman so adores.
