I am 5'10, size 10/12, straight shoulder length brown hair, green eyes and no boobs....

If you're slim and tall and not busty, I would go with Betty Draper. The Joan look depends on being really busty/curvy I think.

You need a really nipped in waist, full circle skirt outfit I reckon. Red lippie. Curl your hair and pin it up.

You could always mix things up and go as Megan in mode. It's a more sixties look and would work if you had good legs and went all out sultry!

How about going as Megan Draper? Sounds like you probably look more like her. Mini shift dress, back-combed bob, pale lips and flicky eyeliner a-go-go! www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/archive/2012/06/11/megan-drapers-mad-men-outfits-rock-we-look-back-at-a-very-fashionable-series-fiv.htm

It just means dress fifties style, doesn't it? You don't have to "be" one of the characters- its a theme, not fancy dress, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Thanks everyone...I am a bit behind so Megan Draper isn't in the series I am watching but looks more like something I can do.

Agree BOF just a theme but wasn't really sure how best to do 60s...
