Dress-Up: Stevie Style

daniellaaarisen · #1 07-25-2009, 09:06 PM

This year for Halloween (yes, this is early), I've finally convinced my mom to let me go all out on Stevie clothes. I'm going to end up wearing them a LOT more often than she thinks.... so I want to make sure I have the perfect outfit with the perfect accessories from the perfect era.

There's a good chance I'll get something custom made or, at the very least, specialized to be more Stevie-esque. I LOVE the dress she wears in the Rhiannon Rosebud video, especially with the open back.

Do you guys have specific Stevie styles that you like the most? Post em! I need as many ideas as I can get. Also, if there are any good sites to buy Stevie-inspired clothing, let me know.

I absolutely love that look, and if I was going to dress like Stevie for Halloween that is definitely the look I would want. Classic Rhiannon Stevie.

She's actually wearing a black leotard (with the open back like that) and she just puts on skirts/dresses, shawls, etc layered. She wears that black leotard in at least a couple of the early tours (White Album and Rumours at least).

I really want to get a black leotard. I took dance classes (ballet, jazz, tap) from age 2 until I was about 13. I'm 19 now and I miss it.

Here's some Stevie clothes:

Oh, dear.

I myself have been looking at that website I posted -- it is dangerous there.

I find myself saying "Ooh, I want that! And that! Oh, and that too!"

I totally want to be Stevie for Halloween. For the next 100 Halloweens.

Danielle, you'll have to keep us updated on what all you get to complete your look!

This is going to be SO HARD to do... the decision making is difficult enough! I adorethe picture that Viv posted but I want people to look at me instantly and be like, "oh, you're Stevie Nicks." I feel like I have to do black to do that.

Thank you for telling me about the leotard-- maybe I can have bat wings and a skirt sewn on and then do black tights, short platform boots and black legwarmers over? Oh and a crescent moon necklace. Duh.

I'm gonna look a lot like her... I'm planning on lightening my hair up again for the beginning of fall to a light brown (I'm naturally really dark brown, almost black). My hair can totally do that crazy frizzy wavy thing really easily and there ya go-- I'm Stevie-ified.

This is going to be so freakin' fun.

Bingo. But probably black.... or white? GAHHH what do I want to do?! Obviously huge platform boots would be ideal but if they're all gonna cost an arm and a leg to even remotely look like Stevie's....

vivfox · #7 07-26-2009, 02:53 AM

Most people recognize Stevie in black.

That's cool that you're going to dress up as Stevie for Halloween.

I've always wanted to do that but I would be anal and would have to have everything exactly the same as Stevie's clothing lol. That and I can't afford it.
Anyways, here's what I came up with. I hope this helps!

For the top I'd say get this one with "black with sheer sleeves" and either "Xlong" or "Super Rhiannon Length".

For the skirt;

In "black solid chiffon"

For the leotard;

http://www.allaboutdance.com/Mirella...2&category=142
Basicly any camisole leotard with a "sweetheart" or "V" neckline and an open or criss-cross back.

Boots;

They're expensive but true-to-Stevie boots.

(get rid of the fur)

(hide the plaid somehow lol)

For the pantyhose, wear any in black or tights.

Scarf:

Top hat:

Don't forget the makeup:

As you can see from the video,you need:
-Foundation and powder or just powder over entire face
-Gray (for the entire lid) and black or dark gray eyeshadow (for the crease and also lower lashline)
-Black eyeliner pencil (for upper and lower lashline,the black eyeshadow goes over the black eyeliner on the lower lashline)
-Black mascara
-False eyelashes and 1-3 coats of black mascara, or just mascara
-Red-gold or red lipstick
-Dark peach or dark pink blush
-or-

It looks like she uses a cover stick as a base for her eyes.
You will need:
-Foundation and powder or just powder over entire face
-Cover stick
-Mascara
-Black eyeliner pencil
-Dark brown eyeshadow
-Dark brown eyeliner pencil
It looks like she takes the eyeliner pencil (dark brown or black) and draws it on the crease and then blends it in or blends dark brown eyeshadow over it.Line lower lashline.
I've tried it and it comes out the way she does it in both videos.

There are other websites I found with Stevie-style clothing.

There are no words to describe how thankful I am for that post! SO helpful! And it got me even more excited to piece all of this together and get the perfect Stevie look going

Again-- thank you, thank you, thank you!

At this point, I think I've gotta "go big or go home" on this one.... I want those boots. Badly. I'm glad I started thinking about this in July for the sake of making sure it all comes together just how I want it to.

Just one general question-- with the top and the leotard, will the open back be visible? Or will the top cover that? Because I LOVE the Rhiannon top and I'm trying to either figure out a way to make the back visible while still incorporating the top... or I need to abandon the bare back idea.

Also, I see you are relatively new to the Ledge-- welcome! Please post whenever you can!

I'm not sure what top you're getting, but usually the back was covered (or she was wearing a sheer top so you could see thru it).

I'd say black tights, black leotard, Rhiannon top with bell sleeves, some sort of hankerchief/layered black skirt, a shawl, a top hat (if you want), and you've gotta get yourself some platform boots. And leg warmers. For sure.

I want to see how it all looks finished!!

I don't have a skirt for this anymore, but this is my "Rhiannon" shirt. I got it at Hot Topic back in 2000 for a party. It's an XL but since I have put on weight I can't fit into it anymore without being paranoid about tearing it. But it's a women't XLG and I thought about selling it on ebay for 20.00. I bought it for 40 at the time. It's mixed with velvet and silky/satin. It is comfortable to wear, but if you're overweight like me and you try to squeeze into it your arms will start to hurt because you can't bend them. LOL! The sleeves are like three quarter and the rest of it as you can see in the picture hang low. If anyone is interested in this shirt let me know and I will post it to ebay.
