Throw Back Sunday !
I am a 24 year old female and my church is having throw back Sunday on February the 23rd and we have dress like we are from a different decade and they are having a contest to see who has the best costume and I asked my cousin if she would make me a poodle skirt so I could dress up like I was from the 50's but she said everybody would probably be wanting to wear poodle skirts and she said I needed to the think of something that was more unique. Does anybody have any ideas of what I can wear to Throw back Sunday ? It doesn't matter what decade. I also need some ideas of how to to style my hair and hair is ear length if that helps any . Thanks in advance everybody .

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
I'll add one more to the list that breeeeezy88 gave you. Hopefully no one will think of this. Go back one more century to the late 1890's.
Some of the high-style dress of the time were quite good looking. I'm sure you can find a costume shop that will have a gown you will like that you can rent for the day. You might try to find a dress pattern and ask your Aunt to make a dress though given the amount of time to do so you might be asking a lot of her.
This sight will show you some of the dress for sale, which new are quite expensive. I offer this site only for viewing purposes. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
