70s Outfit for Women: Disco Glam or Flower Power

The seventies had more than one style, and that is exactly what makes them so appealing. On the one hand, there is the disco era: shiny jumpsuits, silver and gold sequin dresses, trumpet sleeves, and flared trousers that sway with every turn. On the other hand, there is the relaxed flower-power look with floral patterns, fringes, and a headband. If you prefer a boho direction, you will find the right pieces in the hippie costumes for women.

Schlager Outfit for Women: Sequins, Glitter, and Stage Presence

A Schlager outfit for women can be a little more extravagant. Glitter dresses with fringes, sequin tops, feather boas, platform shoes, and bold patterns create exactly the stage presence celebrated at a Schlager party. Whether you choose a Schlager dress, a single top to wear with your own trousers, or a complete set, almost anything can be combined here because colors and patterns are deliberately bold in this category.

Schlagermove and Schlager Party Outfits for Women

At the Schlagermove, large-scale patterns, neon colors, glitter fabrics, and eye-catching flared trousers work better than subtle details. It is practical if the outfit can withstand hours of dancing and changing weather, which is why comfortable tops and dresses that allow freedom of movement are a good choice. For groups, a shared color theme is worthwhile, such as everyone wearing gold or everyone wearing a floral print. You can find more ideas on our Schlager party page.

Disco Costume for Women: Glitter for the Dance Floor

A disco costume for women thrives on shine and glitter: silver or gold sequin dresses, tight glitter jumpsuits, metallic tops, and platform shoes are essentials for the disco vibe. Add a pair of wide-leg flared trousers that sway with every turn. If you want to take the disco look further, our Disco & Schlager category also offers options for men and groups.

Plus-size costumes do not have to hold back on the glitter either. We offer 70s costumes for women in plus sizes up to size 48, including dresses with trumpet sleeves, flowing tunics, and flared trousers.

Kostümpalast Expert Tip for Your 70s Costume

When it comes to the seventies, holding back is the only mistake you can make. Feel free to combine glitter with patterns and color; the only thing that matters is the overall effect from a distance: a wig and glasses make your costume recognizable even from ten meters away. Sequins can rub against the insides of your arms, and wearing a skin-colored shirt underneath solves the problem without a fuss.

Frequently asked questions about 1970s costumes for women

What is included in a 1970s costume for women?

The base is a shiny dress or jumpsuit, or flared trousers with a striking top. Add platform shoes, a wide belt, large earrings, and an era-appropriate wig—either an afro or big blow-dried waves. Even flared trousers paired with a wig create a recognizable look.

What do you wear to a Schlager party or the Schlagermove?

Eye-catching, colorful, and comfortable. Glitter dresses, sequin tops, neon colors, and bold patterns work best here because they stand out even in crowds. Make sure you have freedom of movement, and for a Schlager Move, choose shoes you can stand in for hours.

Are 1970s costumes for women also available in plus sizes?

Yes, many styles are available up to size 48, including dresses, tunics, and bell-bottom trousers with an elasticated waistband. Please refer to the measurements provided for each item, as sizes vary by manufacturer.

Which wig goes with a 1970s outfit?

For a disco and schlager look, afro wigs as well as voluminous blow-dried waves in blonde or brown are a great fit. For a more understated 1970s style, long, straight hair with a center part looks authentic. Colorful wigs in pink or silver add a deliberately exaggerated accent.

How does a disco costume differ from a hippie costume?

The disco look focuses on shine, fitted silhouettes, sequins, and metallic tones. The hippie look features natural colors, floral patterns, fringes, and loose cuts. Both belong to the seventies, but they suit different occasions.
