While the historic saloon girls of the authentic Old West hardly lived glamorous lives, their image has been raised by Hollywood portrayals of gutsy women, know for their wise-cracking, brash attitudes, as well a for their hearts of gold. A particular attire has evolved that today most represents the look of a Western saloon girl. Both the fictional and the historical saloon girls attempted to dress above their station in life, mimicking upper class designs by using cheaper fabrics and decoration. Those who wish to dress as a saloon girl can do the same, making saloon girl costumes that are as fun and sexy as they are affordable.
Choose bright colors for saloon girl costumers. The most popular color is red. Saloon girls wore their skirts scandalously high for the time, showing leg stockings, often patterned, and sometimes ornamented by garters. Garters are a simple and fun sewing project. Simply sew a tube of fabric, insert a length of elastic into the tube, then gather the fabric while sewing the elastic to the fabric. Decorate the garters with trim.
The skirts were made to look fuller by wearing petticoats underneath. Petticoats can be sewn using the same technique used to create ballerina tutus. Rows of gathered tulle fabric are sewn to a pair of dancer�s trunks � swimsuits can be also be used. The skirt itself can be fashioned from inexpensive polyester lining fabric, which has the look and feel of silk. Gather the skirt at the waist with elastic, and add trim to both the waist and hem.
A full corset can be a complicated sewing project, but the look can be affordably accomplished with a tight-fitting top with spaghetti straps. Apply decorative trim to the neckline and arm holes, then sew on laces to simulate a laced-up corset. Saloon girls often wore their hair partially pinned up, with some loose curls falling down their neck and shoulders. Feathers are a favorite ornamentation for the hair. Costume jewelry are effective decoration in saloon girl costumes, as are inexpensive beads.

Yee-haw! Step into the swinging wooden doors of any old saloon in the Wild West, and one is sure to encounter any number of gold-hunting prospectors, gun-slinging banditos, tin star-toting sheriffs, and folk with a suspicion of strangers, all armed with a six-shooter and an Ace of Spades up their sleeve. But best of all, one is most sure to find any number of rootin,' tootin' saloon girls, ready to offer everyone a sight for sore eyes and serve a drink while a traveler finishes pulling the arrows out of his ten-gallon hat. Only thing to watch out for when these gals come to play is the resident bouncer, who will be sure to toss you back out of those doors and into next week if you look with more than just your eyes.
Ladies, if you want to show how much of a party girl you are this Halloween, then consider dressing up like a saloon girl! Bright and attention-getting is what the saloon gal is all about, and she has many ways of pulling that off! Old-fashioned corsets, fishnet stockings, frilly feathers and boas, high-heels, and fine chokers all help to accentuate what was given to you at birth, and in all sorts of bright and crazy colors too! Get your hair all wild and wavy to show just how much you enjoy a good time, and not because the heat messes it up. Top it all off with an exotic feathered tiara, and you will easily be picked out in a crowdif only because it'll stand above everyone else's head.
If ya'll don't want to make your own saloon girl costume, though, then there are plenty to be found on sale. You can check out Sexy Speakeasy Saloon Girl costume, with its bust-enhancing bustier, the slightly more conservative but no less exotic Saloon Girl with its dark colors and gossamer skirt, or the tri-hued Sexy Madam. There are also wigs, that come in blond and brunette "flavors." Mind you, stockings, hats, heels, and gloves seldom come as part of the ensemble, but you can just as easily buy those separately.

Searching for Halloween costumes can be time consuming and expensive. You can find saloon girl costumes for less because they aren't as common and you can even use some of your own clothes to help complete the look. With some creative shopping and some price comparisons, you'll be ready for Halloween in no time � without spending a fortune.
Each of the saloon girl costumes that you find on various websites will be a little different. You can use this to your advantage to shop for the best deals. Look at what most are offering � hats, boots, shirt and pants � and pick the one that has the best price. Many costume stores exist on the internet, so compare between two or three of them.
Saloon girls wear elaborate sexy dresses. If you still have your old prom dress, then you have just succeeded in saving yourself a little money. Then you just need to look for the other accessories to complete the look. The more that you have in your closet that you can substitute, the more money you can save. Borrow from a friend, too, if you need to.
Take a look at what auctions have in the way of used costumes. You may be able to find a great pair of boots or a great looking saloon girl hat that has only been worn a few times for a lot less than you would be able to find in a costume store. When you look into this option, you just want to make sure that they have your size available (if necessary) and that you view photos of the offerings so that you know exactly what you are bidding on.
When Halloween arrives, you will have a great looking costume and know that you didn't spend a ton of money to get the look. As long as you are willing to make a few substitutions and get creative for your costume, you can be a saloon girl for a lot less. When it's all over, you may even decide to sell it on an auction site and make some more of your money back.
