September 2009

I have agreed to do some sewing of costumes for my son's high school spring production of "Grease" however, I cannot find a pattern that comes even close to that of the jackets that the "Pink Ladies" wore. Does anyone have any idea where I might find something like this? I have searched all of the usual sites, Butterick, McCalls, Simplicity and some obscure sites like 'oldpatterns.com' but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas?

What I'm seeing online looks like a zippered baseball jacket. Is that what you're after?

Delete the pockets and the bottom band and collar. Substitute ribbing
for collar/hood. The collar of a baseball jacket is a straight band of ribbing
with the folded edge of the ribbing from shoulder to CF shaped to a near-point.

If the collar description makes no sense, drop me a note and I'll stick a diagram up on one of the photo websites.

Grease Outfit school concert?

September 9, 2009

i have a school concert tomorrow and we are singing a grease medly. my teacher said we can go all out and get the sirt and pink ladies jacket- uhhh, no thanks! our other option is a black shirt and pants- BORRRRRINGGG! so i want to recreate the outfit sandy wore in the last scene, but school appropriate of course! so i have to work with what I have.

i was thinking about wearing black pants rolled up to about mid-leg and maybe a jean jacket w/ a black shirt under it (we can't wear white) and yeah no slutty shirts lol!
*i was also thinking about wearing a turquoise scarf w/ my outfit just tied around my neck but i dont know if were allowed.

im wondering if this is an okay outfit for tomorrow, im afraid if i go all out i could get in trouble. thanks!

WHY did a school do a "grease concert" if they didn't want to let the students dress in period appropriate dress: Sounds wank to me.

Your outfit as you proposed it sounded great.

What did you end up wearing?

I think it'd make quite a cute and kitsch fancy dress idea, but I'm not overly sure what to wear!? I don't want to buy a special costume (apart from a pink ladies jacket!) so what could I wear to make it 50's/Grease style?

Thanks

Well, you could always rent a costume from a fancy dress hire shop. But, you could wear black 3/4 length leggings or black 3/4 length skinny jeans, and a black scarf around your neck with black heels. Or, wear a black full-circle knee-length skirt, white top with collar, frilly socks and either black pumps or trainers to go for the cuter look, as opposed to the Rizo sexy look.

Have fun!
