Firstly, I would like to draw your attention to an 80s outfit that has become very popular in recent times, and is highly rated by customers. The costume (above) is being sold by Emma's Wardrobe on Amazon and includes a black top, black and purple skirt, orange belt and a headband. It is made from durable materials and has the feel of a high quality outfit. It is jjust perfect for a Cyndi Lauper or general 80s style and, of course, for girls who just wanna have fun!
The outfit is available in four sizes from 8 to 14. Many costumes (especially tutu skirts) for 80s dress-up are rather short and expose a lot of leg. This outfit is still short, but is a little longer than many of the tutu skirts around which barely cover your bum cheeks!

As I mentioned, the reviews are pretty positive, so go and check out the costume for yourself using the following links;

The costume is not available at the U.S. Amazon store. However, there are a number of top fancy dress suppliers on ebay selling this dress in both the UK and U.S. and the prices are very competitive, and you are likely to save a few pounds or dollars here. The links above will show you all items available, including other similar outfits, so you may need to scroll through them to find this specific design.
ACCESSORIES
You may wish to add further accessories to your outfit to further enhance the look. I would suggest adding multi-coloured, beaded necklaces and a stack of black or black and mixed coloured bracelets/bangles on one or both arms, depending on your budget. Also add black fishnet gloves.
I could not find the necklaces together with bracelets at the U.S. store, but you can easily buy them separately. You can use black bracelets or a mix of black and neon colours.
The easiest and most cost effective way to add a stack of bracelets to your arm is to buy gummy bands which are also called jelly bracelets.
