Picked up this piece at a thrift store. Need ideas on incorporating it into a costume. I don't even know what it is. Looks like some sort of vintage sailor/diner lady outfit? Any ideas?

It definitely has a 1920s-30's era vibe to it. Look for 1920's accessories to go with it. Maybe a sun hat from that era, a pearl necklace and earrings and some square heeled shoes, or sandals. Or you could maybe do a more updated version of Harley Quinn.

Maybe a Scoops Ahoy outfit from Stranger Things? I forget what color those outfits were.

It also made me think of Stranger Things although the uniforms they wore were blue

What does the label say? It looks like it was made not that long ago given the label's condition. Maybe someone sewed it for a play or something. With the dropped pleated waist kind of reminds me of something from the past but can't really put my finger on it. Maybe a style from the 1920s? Maybe wear a cloche hat with it, although probably hard to find. Kind of does look like uniform type thing. Are those box pleats?

Oh man, I totally forgot about Sailor Moon. My older daughter and my sister were into that show.

Oh yeah, it's totally for play. It's a costume supposed to be replicating a vintage look. I just don't know what. It says "Roma Hollywood" which seems to be a costume store in CA.

A "league of their own" costume maybe??
