Just Kid Costumes Takes Us back to the 1950s

Dressing up for Halloween is one of my kiddos’ favorite parts. It gives them the opportunity to pretend to be someone else, travel back in time, or imagine a world that only exists within their mind.  Thanks to Just Kid Costumes, kiddos’ true identities can be concealed at prices that won’t have mom and dad breaking the bank.

With over 3,000 costumes and accessories to choose from, it might take some serious decision-making on whether this year they’ll be superheroes or Disney Princesses. The best part is that all their costumes are kid-appropriate. There’s no thought of sexy kittens or bloody ghouls here.

My kiddos especially loved Just Kid Costumes’ Dress Up Room application. Simply upload your child’s photo and see how they look all dressed up! It’s loads of fun!

This Halloween, we’re going back in time to the 1950s.

The Beauty Queen in the Sock Hop Sally Costume

The Beauty Queen selected the Sock Hop Sally Costume from JustKidCostumes.com, and when it arrived, she swooned.

The costume is one piece, cleverly disguised as a shirt and skirt. Made of polyester, it is soft, and the Beauty Queen didn’t complain about any itching.

The top is a pink blouse with a poodle appliqué on the chest. It appears to button down, but really, it’s all done with a zipper in the back. A black with pink polka-dot scarf ties off the outfit, making it truly representative of the 1950s.

Musical Notes at a whimsical touch to the skirt

Musical Notes at a whimsical touch to the skirt

Musical notes add charm to the black with pink polka-dot skirt.  The shirt and the skirt are offset with a black belt, complete with faux rhinestones. Layered under the skirt is a netting that gives the skirt body, and just a tad longer than the skirt itself, allowing a peek-a-boo lace ruffle. According to The Beauty Queen, the best part is how full it is and how wide it goes when she’s twirling.

The Sock Hop Sally costume complements The Divine Miss M’s Pink Poodle Skirt Costume impeccably. The girls are so excited to be celebrating Halloween with these blasts from the past!
