A great way to get ideas for  your western saloon costume is to look up some examples of gowns from the Victorian era.

Saloon girls generally wore simplified, sexed-up versions of those gowns, with the skirts kilted, or gathered, up to their knees.

Can-can style dresses with longer skirts are also appropriate for saloon girl costumes.

Just remember to take the style period into account when selecting your outfit and accessories.

Frilly, fitted, off-the-shoulder dresses with a ruffled skirts are perfect for saloon girl costumes.

Deep colors like emerald greens, deep sapphire, and ruby red are very seductive, especially when paired with black lace and ribbon details.

Your hair should be worn in an up-swept hairstyle, something like a chignon or a French twist, and accented with a rhinestone comb or a rosebud.

A saloon girl costume should show some leg, so find a great pair of black fishnets or lace stockings.
