Vintage 1940s and 1950s pin up girl costumes are sexy, flattering, and peak vintage chic! The vintage pin up outfit took center stage in the 1940s as men went off to war. Tighter dresses, shorter skirts, revealing tops were all part of the fanciful look of the pin up girl.

Pin up girl costumes come in classic retro colors navy blue, red, black, green, and white.
