Easy 80s fancy dress (plus size)

I don't want to spend money on things I'll never wear again really.

My usual style is 50's or 40's (Lady V,, lindybop etc)

I'm a size 20.

Any ideas?

Do you have an oversized white t shirt and a sharpie? Voila wham Choose Life t shirt. Crimp your hair, aviator sunglasses and get some neon accessories to complete the look

No 😊 don't own the t-shirt or a sharpie or a crimper or anything neon. In an ideal world I'd like not to buy anything I'll never be able to sue again (I could, I just don't like the waste aspect, I'll only be at the party 2 hours)

The black jumpsuit with any tshirt tie the tshirt up to make it more cropped. Leg warmers if u have any ,big hair bright eye shadow that should do x

Go goth in all black - backcomb or crimp hair, loads of eyeliner and black lipstick. Be a siouxie Sioux

Jumpsuit, fishnet pop socks (primark usually have them)with toes cut out and a thumbhole cut in and worn on your arms, charity shop bangles/coloured braclets and big-ass backcombed hair, pref with a big bow or hairband

A big belt on your waist (you'll probably have a waspie belt if you wear 50s clothes normally)

Jump suits. I'm old. I hated when they were fashionable in the 80s.
