for a jacket just get an oversized blazer, new look have some nice viscose ones. ballet flats for shoes and anything for handbag, maybe a clutch

Handbag - white or pink plastic, possibly with bow on, to be danced around

Shoes - ditto

Jacket - white or grey with sleeves scrunched up

Don't forget legwarmers to go with the ballet shoes!

JoleneJoleneJoleneJoleeene · 08/07/2011 20:03

Ballet shoes? Really. I have loads of ballet shoes! I thought I'd have to wear heels!

Am I getting it right with a prom dress?

Prom dress will be fine. You could always add a pair of Capri length leggings if you wanted. Just think madonna in desperately seeking Susan that's what I did for an 80s theme party I went to recently

I did Google Madonna but in that film I can't find a picture of her in a dress

If you get a jacket you must roll up the sleeves to approximately elbow length.

choccyfiend78 · 08/07/2011 20:38

Can't find a picture of her exactly but if you google images of madonna 80s prom dress it comes up with a fancy dress outfit that is exactly what mean. Would do link but on phone and not sure how!

I don't recall ballet pumps being fashionable in the 80s. Pixie boots, slingback peeptoe wedges, kitten heel shoes with bows on, Jelly shoes, gladiator sandals.

Jacket, coloured cotton bomber or blouson jacket, preferably with airtex inserts around the lapels.
