Any 50's / rockabilly / vintage clothing fans around?... I need your style help!

PLEASE HELP ME!

I'm attending a 50's themed birthday party on 8th Sept. I'm planning on wearing this Collectif dress / Banned petticoat. I desperately need help accessorising it though.

Any suggestions oh wise ones?! I need:

Shoes (heels, preferably with a platform but not ridiculously high - sandals or t-bar would be good rather than court shoes)
Bag (A clutch or small handbag)
Hat or hair accessories
Belt
Neck scarf
Bolero or little jacket
Jewellery

Any links to products / retailers would be absolutely amazing! Preferably in the UK as I don't have much time!

Thank you Flowers

Your dress is lovely!

Have you looked at Irregular Choice shoes? I always think their style goes well with the 50's look.

Monsoon would be a good place to look for a bolero.

I love Irregular Choice, but sadly my feet hate them. Cause me lots of pain Sad. Gutted.

Oh yes, Monsoon, forgot about them. Thanks

I'd say not platform soles for the 1950's. Or t bar. Courts are best. hairband would be good hair accessory.

Depending on your budget, how about Vivienne of Holloway? www.vivienofholloway.com/ Or Lindy Bop? www.lindybop.co.uk/ Both have loads of accessories that would go with your dress (which is lovely!)
