A 1950s costume suitable for Halloween and costume parties that is a counterpart for the Teddy Boy is, naturally enough, the Teddy Girl.

Teddy Boys would usually have their outfits tailor made for them at great expense. Teddy Girls, on the other hand, would make their own outfits in a flamboyant style rejecting post-war austerity.

Like the boys, Teddy Girls would also wear a drape jacket, the frock coat with a knee length skirt.  An alternative would be a tailored jacket with a velvet collar.

Popular headgear was the coolie hat and the straw boater. The hair underneath it would be plaited or, later on, in a long ponytail.

There was a great variation in lower body clothes. Trousers (or pants) popular were rolled-up jeans and, later  on, toreador pants. Skirts included the straight-cut just-above-the-knee pencil skirt, hobble skirts, long, tight skirts which had a small hem that restricted the wearer’s stride (hence, hobble) and later on circle skirts which were made from one or more circles with a hole for the waist.

Popular footwear worn were mostly flat shoes, such as the espadrille, a canvas or cotton shoe with a jute rope sole.

Accompaniments were cameo brooches and long clutch bags.
