Women's 1960's Costumes

Women's 1960s Costumes in Australia

The 60s splits into two very different looks, and choosing one first makes everything else easy. Hippie and flower power means bright florals, fringing, headbands and flares. Mod and go-go means bold geometric prints, shift dresses, white boots and sharp lines. Work out which side of the decade your event is leaning towards, then build from there.

Choose your 1960s style

• Hippie and flower power: Floral prints, fringed vests, headbands and bell sleeves for festival and peace-and-love themes.
• Mod and go-go: Shift dresses, blocks of bold colour and knee-high boots for a sharper, London-inspired look.
• Music and stage: Sequins, shine and statement silhouettes for tribute nights and karaoke themes.

Finish the look

Accessories do most of the work in a 60s dress-up. A long straight wig, round sunglasses, hoop earrings or a wide headband will read as sixties from across the room, even when the dress itself is simple. Dressing as a group? Browse our men's 1960s costumes so everyone lands on the same decade, or step forward to the women's 1970s costumes if you would rather go disco.

Sizing and delivery

Check the measurements in each product's size guide rather than going by your usual dress size, since costume sizing varies between makers. On adult costumes you can use our free Size & Fit scan, and if you buy the size it recommends and it does not fit, we will exchange it free. Order before 1PM AEST Monday to Friday and we dispatch the same day, with Standard, Express and Premium delivery at checkout. Standard shipping is free on orders over $150. Every costume is yours to keep, as we are a retail store and not a hire service.

60s costume FAQs

What do women wear to a 60s party?

Either a hippie look (a floral maxi or bell-bottoms with a headband) or a mod look (a shift dress in a bold print with boots). Both are instantly recognisable, so pick whichever suits the event and commit to it.

What is the difference between 60s and 70s costumes?

The 60s leans mod, hippie and flower power, with shift dresses and florals. The 70s leans disco, with jumpsuits, flares, metallics and platform shoes. If the invitation just says retro, disco is usually the safer read.
