 The Retro look is in and men and women are enjoying being transported into a past era where the style of dressing was exhibited by certain graphic solutions that influenced that particular era. Dressing styles such as rockabilly dresses and pinup dresses can be traced back from old movies, illustrations, newspapers and various findings and today these types of vintage and retro reproduction styles are becoming very popular.

During the 1930s to 1950s rock music was the order of the day and was pelted with one or two electric guitars, a drum kit and a string bass.  Some of the people who made this type of music popular were Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Johnny Cash and others. “Rockabilly” ideally describes the fusion of country and rock and roll music, which was also popularly termed “hillbilly,” during the 1950s. Rockabilly dresses, hairstyles and clothing became popular and soon the subculture spread from the south of USA to the rest of the country. This subculture was revived in the 1980s and today these types of retro and vintage dressing, which includes rockabilly dresses,  is becoming popular with many people who classically condition themselves to aping the past era as a result of an unconscious response.

The most popular pinup dresses are those that enhance the hourglass figure.  They come in different styles and you can choose strapped dresses, halter necks, circle skirts or pencil skirts. These types of rockabilly pinup dresses can be worn by women of any age and size. Women who wish to accentuate their natural curves can wear the pencil skirts as it gives them a sexy appearance. Wear a poodle dress and set it off with saddle shoes, red lipstick and some pretty pearls and you are ready for an evening of rock and roll!
