The best hippie costume for women pairs flowing lines with authentic 60s and 70s details such as bell sleeves, fringe, and bold psychedelic prints in breathable fabric. The quickest route is a pack with the pieces already matched: our Women's Long Hippie Costume comes with a paisley print long dress, a long brown vest, and a headband, in sizes S to XXXL.
Below are six of our women's packs: two long dresses, three short ones, and a top with flared pants, each with its contents and size range. Men's looks, couples, and general ideas sit in our hippie costume guide, and our decade costumes guide and 1970s disco costume guide cover the wider era.

Which women's hippie costume suits you?
Choose by shape first: a long dress for the full flower-child look, a short dress for dancing and layering, or flared pants for a 70s outline. All six packs include a headband or headscarf, four include a vest, and the table sets the contents side by side.
| Look | In the pack | Sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Long paisley dress | Paisley print long dress, long brown vest, headband | S to XXXL |
| Long tie-dye dress | Tie dye dress (long), vest, headband | S to XL |
| Short paisley dress | Paisley print dress, long brown fringed vest, matching headband | Small to XX-Large |
| Short pink floral dress | Pink floral dress with flare sleeves, headscarf | Small to 2XL |
| Short yellow print dress | Jersey mini dress, faux-suede fringed vest, matching print headband | Small to X-Large |
| Paisley top and flares | Paisley print top, high-waisted flared pants, matching headband | Small to XX-Large |
Between April 22 and October 12, 2026, our US website analytics recorded 37 orders that included one of our women's hippie costume pieces, and 28 of them (about three in four) held that piece and nothing else. That is consistent with how the packs are built: the headpiece is in the box, and the vest too on four of them.
Which long hippie dress should you pick?
Pick the paisley dress for a dense mixed print and the tie-dye dress for a bright swirl of color; both are long dresses and both come with a vest and a headband. Size can decide it for you: the paisley dress runs to XXXL, the tie-dye dress to XL.
Women's Long Hippie Costume: the full paisley maxi
The Women's Long Hippie Costume comes with a paisley print long dress, a long brown vest, and a headband, made from 100% polyester in sizes S to XXXL. The relaxed cut of the dress and vest leaves room to move, and the vest layers over the dress. The photo also shows blue round sunglasses, a peace pendant, a flower in hand, and sandals; all four are yours to add.
Women's Long Tie Dye Hippie Dress Costume: the swirl
The Women's Long Tie Dye Hippie Dress Costume carries a swirl of warm pinks, purples, yellows, and blues. It comes with the dress, a vest, and a headband, and an elastic waistband gives room within each size. Tie-dyed cloth was part of the era's wardrobe too: the V&A records that West African tie-dyed indigo cloth was adopted by the hippie movement.
Which short hippie dress should you pick?
Pick a short dress when you plan to dance, because the hem sits well above the ankle. The three below are a paisley dress with a fringed vest, a pink floral dress with a headscarf and no vest, and a yellow jersey mini with a faux-suede vest.
Women's Short Hippie Costume: the paisley mini with a fringed vest
The Women's Short Hippie Costume comes with a paisley print dress, a long brown fringed vest, and a matching headband, in sizes Small to XX-Large. The vest is not attached to the dress, so you can wear it over the dress or leave it off. The photo also shows fringed leg warmers, a peace pendant, and white shoes, but the product page's contents list stops at the dress, vest, and headband, so treat all three as extras.
Women's Short Pink Hippie Dress Costume: floral and flared
The Women's Short Pink Hippie Dress Costume is a pink floral dress with flare sleeves, plus a matching headscarf, in sizes Small to 2XL with plus sizes in the range. If you are between sizes, the listing recommends the larger one, since the flare sleeves sit more comfortably with room. The white go-go boots and flower earrings in the photo are not in the pack.
Women's Yellow Hippie Costume: the jersey mini with a fringed peace-and-love vest
The Women's Yellow Hippie Costume pairs a patterned jersey mini dress with an A-line neckline and flared sleeves with a separate faux-suede vest that has long fringing and peace and love prints, plus a matching print headband. The print is original artwork we created for this dress. It comes in sizes Small to X-Large, and because the vest is a separate piece you can size for the dress and style the vest on its own. The peace necklace and boots in the photo are extras.
Is there a pants option for a hippie look?
Yes: the Women's Willow Hippie Flares Costume swaps the dress for a paisley print top and high-waisted flared pants. Flares have been part of this look from the start: the V&A notes that flares first became popular for both men and women in the 1960s, during the move toward the hippie era.
Women's Willow Hippie Flares Costume: the 70s line
The pack holds the paisley print top, the high-waisted flared pants, and a matching headband, made from 100% polyester in sizes Small to XX-Large. Pick it over the dresses if you would rather not manage a hem all night. The platform boots and peace medallion in the photo are not in the pack, and boots with a little height keep the flared hems off the floor.
Which add-ons finish a hippie costume?
We sell a fringed vest and a braided wig on their own; round tinted sunglasses, a peace medallion, and boots are yours to bring.
- A vest on its own. The Women's Hippie Vest is a fringed brown vest with peace logos, sold alone in sizes Small to X-Large, so you can layer it over a dress or a flowy top you already own.
- A braided wig. The Long Brown Braided Hippie Wig is 100% polyester, sized to fit most adults; tuck natural hair flat before you put it on.
- Round tinted sunglasses and a peace medallion. Neither comes in our packs; any round pair and a long necklace do the job.
- Boots. Knee-high white boots or platforms, as the photos show, are yours to bring.
More hair options live in our wigs range, and other eras sit in our decade costumes.
How do you size a women's hippie costume?
Check your own measurements against the size guide on each product page before you order. The long paisley dress runs S to XXXL and the pink dress Small to 2XL, and the table above lists the range for the other four.
Take the bust and hip measurements with the tape level with the floor and the waist snugly where a belt would sit, the way New Mexico State University's extension guide Check Your Pattern for Proper Fit lays it out. If you land between sizes, size up for the flared pieces: the pink dress, the tie-dye dress, and the standalone vest all carry that tip on their product pages.
What are our women's hippie costumes made from?
Our women's hippie costumes are polyester, per their product pages. Like every MorphCostume, they are made from 125GSM+ breathable fabric, and every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks. The aim is a costume that looks like real vintage-style clothing rather than a flimsy costume, with room to move for dancing.
We make four customer commitments, the Morph Promise: no costume fails, designs that flatter, party-long comfort, and no unwanted surprises. On this page that means naming the extras you see in each photo, from the round sunglasses to the platform boots, so the box holds no surprises.
What hair and makeup suit a hippie look?
Keep it soft and natural: a dewy complexion, minimal foundation, and a touch of blush, with loose waves or braids and a flower or a headband in your hair. A little shimmer on the eyelids and a soft eyeliner finish a look that feels effortless and connected to nature. If your hair is short or you want a bigger change, a long braided wig makes the change without touching your own hair.
How do you care for a hippie costume?
Our hippie costumes take a cold hand wash and an air dry. Wash the dress and the vest separately in cold water with a mild detergent so the vest's fringe does not tangle around the dress, then lay each piece flat or hang it to dry out of the sun. The hand-wash note appears on product pages such as the long paisley costume.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best hippie costume for women?
Start from shape: the Women's Long Hippie Costume for a long paisley dress with a long brown vest, the Willow Hippie Flares Costume for a paisley top and flared pants, or one of our three short dresses if you plan to dance. Each pack includes a headband or headscarf.
What comes in a women's hippie costume?
Four of our six women's hippie packs hold a dress, a vest, and a headband; the pink dress comes with a headscarf and the Willow set holds a top, high-waisted flared pants, and a headband. Sunglasses, necklaces, boots, and flowers are yours to add.
What makeup and hairstyle go with a hippie costume?
Natural and earthy works best: a dewy complexion, minimal foundation, a touch of blush, and soft eyeliner with mascara. For hair, loose natural waves or braids, topped with flowers, a headband, or a bandana, complete the look.
Why does fabric quality matter for a hippie costume?
A cheap costume can feel itchy, trap heat, or fall apart before the night ends. Our costumes use 125GSM+ breathable fabric and aim to look like real vintage-style clothing rather than a flimsy costume, and every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks.
How do you dress like a hippie woman?
Start with a long or short paisley, floral, or tie-dye dress, or flared pants and a printed top, then add a fringed vest, a headband, round tinted sunglasses, and layered necklaces. The hippie costume guide walks through the same build for men and couples too.
Do you have plus-size women's hippie costumes?
Yes. The long paisley dress goes up to XXXL, the pink floral dress to 2XL with plus sizes in the range, and the short paisley dress and the Willow flares to XX-Large. Each product page carries a size guide.
