Femme Fatale Costumes – The Pin Up Girl
The pin up girl has a long and glorious history of supporting and inspiring our service and working men. Inspiration derived from the image of a beautiful woman, pinned up on their wall or in their lockers – at sea or on land. For a sexy fancy dress idea, the pin up girl inspires.
One of the most famous pin up girls was Betty Grable, whose photo adorned the lockers of many an American service man during World War II. Other notable pin up girls includes Irene Dunne, Bette Davis, Esther Williams, Elizabeth Montgomery, Betty Page, Cindy Crawford, and Dita Von Teese. Each of these women represents female beauty in many forms and styles. Some are petite, some curvier. Some are fair-haired, some are quite dark. Some appear in more and some in less clothing. All of them are sexy.
As a fancy dress costume idea, the pin up girl theme leaves a lot of room for interpretation and individuality. Because there have been pin up girls every era since the 1920s, there are many fashion choices too.
For that traditional pin up girl look, the image our minds go to first when we think “pin-up girl”, consider to the Fever Pin Up Fly Girl Costume. This one-piece jumpsuit and matching hat is styled on a military pilot uniform and is green with yellow trimmings. In the front, it looks similar to the bathing costumes of the 1950s. In the back, it cuts upwards to provide a cheeky hint of bottom.
