The outfit:
Could this costume be any easier? Use a dress that has little or no shape to it, most commonly with spaghetti straps. Get your hands on lots of pearls and a pair of chunky heels. Voila! For added effect, get a long cigarette holder.

The Hair and Makeup:
The most important feature of this costume is the hair and makeup. A short 'do and blushed cheeks make the look. Use a long cigarette holder as a prop.
