Grease CostumeIf you're looking for Grease Costumes... then you've come to the right place.

You can find Grease Costumes for any character found in the movie.

Grease CostumeJust to get you in the mood I'll give you a quick recap of the Grease movie...

Grease was a 1978 film based on Jim Jacobs' and Warren Casey's musical, Grease.

The film stared John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing, Jeff Conaway, and Eve Arden.

Newton-John's fame also reached new heights after the movie released.

The song "Hopelessly Devoted to You" was nominated for an Academy Award (1979) for Best Music - Original Song. The movie's title song was also a number one smash hit single for Frankie Valli.

So here is how the movie went... In 1958, during their summer vacation, (John Travolta) and Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) meet at a beach and begin to fall in love.

Instead of returning to Australia at summer's end, however, Sandy enrolls at Rydell High School as a foreign-exchange student, where Danny is a student. So is Sandy's new friend Frenchy (Didi Conn), a member of the schoolgirl clique "The Pink Ladies".

Danny is the leader of the boys' gang, "The T-Birds". Kenickie, second-in-command of the T-Birds (and Danny's best friend), encourages Danny to tell them about his holiday experiences, while the Pink Ladies likewise persuade Sandy. This results in "Summer Nights."

Encouraged by a preppy school spirit girl, Sandy joins the Rydell cheerleaders. The Pink Ladies decide to reunite Danny and Sandy, but Danny wants to protect his cool image, and his behavior towards Sandy causes her to storm off in tears.

Frenchy attempts to cheer Sandy up by inviting her to a sleepover at her house with the rest of the gang, but Rizzo soon gets fed up with Sandy's goody-two-shoes behavior.

Rizzo lampoons Sandy, singing the sarcastic "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee". When the T-Birds arrive outside Frenchy's house, Rizzo and Kenickie (Jeff Conaway) flirt then leave.

After the party splits up, Sandy decides that she still loves Danny, in spite of everything, and sings "Hopelessly Devoted to You", a poignant love song that was added for the movie and was a big hit as a single. Rizzo's and Kenickie's passionate back-seat love-making is interrupted when the leader of a rival gang, Leo (Dennis Cleveland Stewart) of The Scorpions, and his girlfriend, Cha Cha DiGregorio (Annette Charles), damage Kenickie's car.

Danny meets Sandy at the Frosty Palace, and tries to apologize for his actions. Sandy comes to see if Danny is all right, and they are seemingly reconciled.

Later, Danny takes Sandy to the school's dance, where the TV show National Bandstand plans to broadcast live from the school. When Kenickie asks Cha Cha to the dance, Rizzo retaliates and asks out the rival gang's leader Leo.

During the dance-off, Rizzo leaves in a huff, seeing Kenickie dancing with Cha Cha, and Danny and Sandy are one of the few still in the dance-off. But soon, Sonny pulls Sandy away from Danny, and Cha Cha starts dancing with Danny.

Sandy realizes that Cha Cha was one of Danny's past girlfriends — and a much better dancer. Sandy leaves the gym upset, and Danny and Cha Cha win the contest. Later, Danny takes Sandy to a drive-in movie, apologizes for leaving her, and gives her his class ring. Back in the car, Danny starts trying to make out with Sandy.

Danny laments losing Sandy again, and reveals the true extent of his feelings for her in the song "Sandy" — he is helpless without her.

Because of a mishap before a race in the Los Angeles River, Danny races Leo in of Kenickie's place while Sandy sits on the hill watching. As the T-Birds and Pink Ladies celebrate with Danny, Sandy asks Frenchy's help in winning Danny's heart.

Sandy and Danny fly off in a car and disappear into the sky.

Ok... that's enough about the movie!  How about Grease Costumes for the Halloween holidays?

Here are some Grease Costume ideas for your consideration...

If you ladies are going out together then you can all be pink ladies. You will need a pair or black Capri pants, sandals, and a baby pink satin jacket. Look for pictures of your hair and remember the sunglasses.

Grease is the era of the poodle skirt so get out your sneakers, cardigan, poodle skirt and put your hair up in a ponytail.

This costume is what Sandy wore at the beginning of the movie. Poodle skirts are available at any costume store or you can visit a vintage store and find an authentic skirt, then go through your wardrobe for a tight top and cardigan.

There is also an additional Sandy costume, the costume she wears at the very end.

For an you will need very tight leather pants. Then find a black off the shoulder t-shirt, black , very red lips and big hair.

To really complete this grease costume you do need blond hair and if you are not a blond then a wig is a good option.

A Frenchy costume would include a bright pink wig, ink ladies jacket and a pink dress or skirt with blouse.

A Rizzo costume is similar except your skirt and shirt should be black with a pink ladies jacket. Then you will need short dark hair or a Rizzo wig.

There are several options available for guys looking for grease costumes. Usually the first choice is Danny's Costume. This costume is comprised of a leather jacket, white t-shirt, boots and black pants or black jeans.

Styling your hair can be tricky as you need long enough hair to give it a curl over your forhead.

Men can also go by the 50s jock costume. This is a more clean cut look and you will need some type of high school letter jacket. Then just use the jeans from your closet and a white tee.

Another popular Grease costume for men is Eugene. This is more of a nerdy costume so look for high waist pants, a pocket protector and heavy rimmed glasses.

If you are looking for a fancier Grease costume then chose something from the dance competition. These are all 50s style dresses that feature nipped in waists and larger skirts like poodle skirts.

You can dress up as Cha-Cha, Sandy, Rizzo, Frenchy and any other character at the dance.

Here on my blog It's is possible to buy a complete Grease costume. You can get all the clothing and hair pieces you might need on this page.

You can also find additional pieces for a costume if you already have some parts for your costume. For instance... you can buy a pink ladies jacket, wig, greasers jacket and more.

There are Grease Costumes available for both adults, teenagers and children.

Grease costumes are also very easy for teenagers to make their own costumes as you may be able to find great pieces by looking through your parents or grandparents closet.

Mary asks…

I am going to a dance and have to dress as my favourite rock/pop star from the 50's to now. Any ideas & how?

I am a women age 56 with good legs so I don't mind wearing a short skirt. I am not creative at all so any ideas for an easy costume would be greatly appreciaed.
Thanks

andre1 answers:

It really depends on what you can do with your hair.
You could be Nancy Sinatra with boots and long straight blond hair, Patsy Cline in a litle sequined cowgirl outfit and a boufon hairdo, or Dianna Ross with a 60's style stewardess outfit and 60's hair.
Have fun!

Mark asks…

Help on costumes for a "Then and Now" fashion show!?

I'm in charge of a fashion show at my church. The problem is that I don't know what men and women wore throughout the ages. I need a description on the types of clothing that people wore in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and the 90's. I need it for men and women, and types of accessories that they used would also be very helpful! Thank you so very much :)

andre1 answers:

50's: , old timey high necklines, pin hair curls, high pony tails. Look at the movie Greece if you need a reference point.

60's: Tye Dye, peace-d out clothing, bell bottoms, headbands, circle glasses, face paint (for protestors)

70's: These times were more a transitional time between the 60's & 80's, I'd look online for this one because I'm not sure, sorry.

80's: Think Madonna here. Colored leggings, slouchy one shoulder tops, bangles, a lot of things that have come back "in" today were also in style during the 80's. Hair was ridiculous though, really big, & perms were very in.

90's: Hard for me to describe, so here's a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s_in_fashion

Good luck, I hope I helped! =)

Daniel asks…

Ideas please! :) For sexy 50's movie star style, party?

Hi everyone,

Ok so Im celebrating my birthday soon, it's my 18th so I want it be really special :)

I am looking to go with a themed party, I want it fun and sexy :) The kind of idea I want is... well it's hard to explain really.... you know the women from the 20's and 30's? That kind of movie star sexiness they had? I want it like that :)

I am quite full figured, so I think I would look great in say a fitted dress with some cleavage, or fitted black shirt and pencil skirt, with killer black heels, red lipstick. There will be jazz music and the men will be in black suits.

So, if anyone knows of anyone plus-size online stores what will do these kind of costumes, or dresses, that are beautiful, sexy and elegant, and also available to me in the UK, let me know! :)

Mandy asks…

How many mid-age people have trouble w/friends (who are your own mid-age peers) telling you look "so old"?!?

I accept myself for who I am. I'm not the 25,35,45 yr old I was - I'm now in my 50's. I worked in entertainment in my younger yrs & had above avg appearance. Now, I'm an avg 50 something person w/no facelift & fatter than I was by about 30 lbs. I have had "old friends" tell me that I've "really gone downhill," "better lose weight," "you're not the person I remember," and "What Happened?" I have heard worse things get back to me about things said behind my back.

Yes, I used to be young, beautiful, better off financially, and more ready & able to entertain & take care of everyone, I moved on. I am now 50 something, sagging to some extent, slightly overweight (a woman's size 12), & Ok w/it.

I have sold many of my old costumes & retired from entertainment. They ask me "Why . . . are you depressed?!?" I say, "No, none of those fit anymore, I'll never use them & I have a new career." Still, I get frowns, grimaces, head-shaking, & now they no longer want to talk to me.

andre1 answers:

If your friends are truly saying that...UGH!! Some friends!!

But no, sorry. think I am actually in my 30's and I am 44. And guess what? I haven't had any surgery, either.

Though I can't imagine that makes you feel very good. I guess if you were like a stripper or something....the mindset of your 'peers' might still be in that venue, but I would say...as long as you are happy about yourself then who cares what they say? .

Drop your friends. That'll make you at least 300lbs lighter, right there!!

Lisa asks…

help me with me 50's girl costume for halloween?

so im gonna be a 50's girl for halloween. i already have high top-ish looking shoes. (they look like ones from grease, lol) i was gonna borrow some of my moms socks, the foldover ones. make a poodle skirt from felt. the thing i need help on is from the waist up i guess. should i just wear a solid color tee shirt? and did they wear little scarves around their necks?? my real problem is the hair though. my hair is long and wavy, and i have side bangs, so i was gonna put it up in a with a big bow and leave my bangs out. should good????

andre1 answers:

A solid shirt would be good...but if you have it, a button up shirt would probably be best (short sleeved)! A scarf around the neck would be good...preferably the same color as your skirt...or, you could put the scarf in your hair (just tie it around your ponytail after you already have your ponytail in place)!! And, yes, the bangs are good!! :-)

50's girl Halloween Costume?

What would I wear, and what accessories?
So far I have:
tank top
cardigan
poodle skirt
ankle socks
runners
im curling my hair
red lipstick
What else?
Thanks so much :)
P.S
I will be wearing this for the dance.

andre1 answers:

You'll need a very full flouncy petticoat under the skirt and saddle shoes. Not sure what you mean when you say "runners". Add a charm bracelet and a ribbon in your hair--like tied around your head with the bow on top. As for a purse, hmmm, I'm thinking a straw satchel, basket thing if I remember correctly. Oh, yes scratch the tank top, we wore only round collared blouses either short or long sleeves under our cardigans. Add a belt around the waist of the skirt. Take if from one who graduated in 1950. Then you'll have to do the bunny hop.

What are good themes for elementary dances?

I am in charge of coming up with a theme for our kindegarden and 1st grade mommy-son dance. Last year we did 70s and each kid took home a tie dyed shirt. The year before they dressed western and ate BBQ and got a hat. I need a fresh idea that is relatively easy for parents to dress as, and inexpensive to put on. We have very limited time as a parent backed out and I took over at the last minute. 3 weeks!! We have a DJ, and we have food. I need decoration/ that young kids will be familiar with and adults will enjoy. Some ideas we have thrown around so far are:

pirates
superheroes
50's sock hop (i.e. Grease)
prehistoric (cavemen)

any thoughts or comments or other themes?
thanks

andre1 answers:

Hey, Theme dances are always a good time, I used to work at a summer camp for 5 years and we had at least one every session. Of the themes you listed I would go with ether the pirates or super heros. Sock hops just aren't fun for kids these days, they don't get them. Pre-historic could be fun, but you wont get very inventive costumes really. With Pirates or super heros, you can really get imaginative with a costume while keeping appropriate. Some themes that worked well for me that I have used have been beach party themes, Colorful theme (have them dress in their favorite/s colors and you can have odd colored food and such), and another popular one is like a movie theme, where you dress like your favorite actor or actress. That last one might not be great for the age group but its somthing to think about. Those are my thoughts on it, but from your list deffinatly pirtates or superheros.

Charles asks…

50's theme party?

So my boyfriend's mom is turning 50 and she wants to have a 50's theme (Grease style) birthday bash. We need ideas on ways to decorate (cheap or things we may already have), popular food and drinks from the 50's and other than and , and maybe a cool name for the party. Last year her party was called "Girls and Pearls," so we want to come up with a catchy title like that, only including men too. Keep in mind this is not a child's party, she is turning 50. Thanks!

andre1 answers:

How about "Nifty '50s Sock Hop" or some variation of that?

If you can find a Hula Hoop, it would be good to have one of those; also a Slinky! Get a bunch of old 45rpm records to have lying around. Serve Coke in bottles. Blow bubbles from a jar. Wear poni tails. Play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey (it was the most popular party game back then).

Donald asks…

Mafia 50's Clothing suitable for a 15 year old boy?

I like the 50's Mafia clothing fedoras, trench coats, smart suits, dress shoes, leather gloves its the perfect outfit/costume but sadly today most do not dress like that. I like smart (posh) clothes and well I think that the whole Mafia culture is cool and very me.

Will this type of clothing come back in fashion?

If I wore this type of clothing, highest quality, expensive and tailored just for me, would it look odd, stupid even maybe laughable?

If I wore mafia style clothing but modernized would it be acceptable or would people think I'm weired?

I'm 15 by the way.

P.S
I do realize such clothing is still partialy worn but mostly by officials like the President, Doctors, Airline Pilots, FBI, but not young men/teens like myself (15).

I NEED HELP WITH A STORM COSTUME LOOK. HELP ANYONE?

Next week my school is having a few days where everyone can dress up from different time periods like the 50's 60's 70's and 80's. But one day next week, we are having superhero day and I want to go as storm. I was going for Halle Berry's look from the 1st X-Men movie. But I need to find the white contact lenses. I have know idea where to look. I didn't want to spend tons of money on them considering it is just for one day. But I want them To look really good and noticeable. A trustworthy company that is known to have good contacts for this purpose would be great. I don't want to go blind. I also need to find Storm's signature belt with the X on it.

I haven't seen a long cape anywhere in the stores near me. So if I cant find one, do you think a leather jacket will work just fine? HELLLP! I NEED IT! Thanks :)

Storm's eyes only white-out when she is throwing weather around. Save your eyes and money! :D If you can't find a cape, maybe you could make one? Even if you can't sew, you could maybe find a black dress or skirt to cut up at a thrift store. Some of the pics I see of Storm have a short cape. The white wig is the key feature, IMO.

The leather jacket might work fine. Just make sure to have those silver X things on the collar and belt buckle. You could cut them out of plastic and paint them with metallic paint, or just be a real cheapskate and make them from aluminum foil.

If you MUST, though, this site has white lenses. Not too expensive. I have no idea how fast or how reputable/safe they are.
