31 days to Halloween…
Why not dress like a Comic Book Pin-Up?
Watchmen Sally Jupiter Custom Made Halloween Costume
From the seller: Sexy, slinky and delicious this is a silk chiffon recreation of the Sally Jupiter costume from the movie Watchmen.
Secret Wishes Sally Jupiter Adult Superhero Costume – Officially licensed Watchmen ™ costume
Includes wig, dress, glove, bracelet. Does not include boots or hosiery but you can get those for cheap at Electrique Boutique.
Don’t forget the black strapless longline bra/bustier , garter belt and fishnet stockings underneath!What Katie Did Glamour Shape Wear Black Merry Widow Basque
The Merry Widow is quintessential mid-50s shapewear. Unlike a corselette, which focuses on the hips and derriere, a Merry Widow works its magic on the upper torso; tightening, smoothing and uplifting.
It’s essentially a low-backed strapless bra combined with a strict waist cincher; and the result is the perfect foundation for wearing under the tight-bodiced, full-skirted gowns that were extremely fashionable in the 1950s and early 60s.
If you’ve ever admired Mad Men’s Betty Draper in her strapless evening frocks, this is for you!
Actually, it’d just be easier to get a merry widow instead of separates – don’t go for a corselette, it doesn’t fit with the costume.
