PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Fitted two-tone dress (khaki blouse bodice with olive green pencil skirt, collar, chest pocket with gold insignia, integrated belt)
- Garrison-style hat with bow detail
This Womens 1940s Pin-Up Army Costume brings vintage wartime glamour to any retro event, with a fitted khaki-and-olive dress cut in a classic pin-up silhouette and a small garrison hat to finish the look.
The dress is a standout piece: light khaki collared bodice with V-neckline and chest pocket (complete with gold embroidered insignia), color-blocked into a fitted olive green pencil skirt at the natural waist. Wide integrated belt with decorative buckle cinches the waist for that iconic 1940s hourglass shape. The garrison cap sits at a jaunty angle with a neat bow detail. Fabric has a matte finish, comfortable for a full evening of dancing or posing.
Perfect For
1940s Themed Parties & Swing Nights: A natural fit for vintage socials, swing dance events, Lindy Hop nights, or any retro gathering where you want authentic WW2-era pin-up style.
Halloween & Costume Parties: Stand out with a costume that's glamorous rather than gory — pairs beautifully with red lipstick, victory rolls, and peep-toe heels for a classic Americana look.
Historical Events & Conventions: Ideal for WW2 commemorations, vintage expos, retro fairs, or military-history reenactment socials where period accuracy meets pin-up flair.
How to Wear It
Style with red or nude peep-toe heels, elbow-length black gloves, and vintage waves or a rolled updo. A bold red lip and winged eyeliner complete the 1940s pin-up vibe. Skip modern accessories — keep it retro.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
A: Check the size chart for bust, waist, and hip measurements. The dress is fitted through the bodice and skirt, so if you're between sizes, size up for comfort.
Q: Can I wear this for extended periods (dancing, walking)?
A: Yes. The fabric has some give, and the knee-length pencil skirt allows for movement. Pair with comfortable heels if you're dancing all night.
Q: How do I care for the dress and hat?
A: Spot clean or hand wash in cold water, hang to dry. The hat is structured, so store flat or propped to keep its shape.
Q: Are gloves included?
A: No — the gloves shown in some images are styling accessories only. You'll need to purchase those separately if you want the full pin-up look.
Care: Spot clean or hand wash cold, hang dry. Store hat flat.
