What high street shops carry 50s style teenage clothing
It has to be cheap because my budget isnt big!!!

I introduce going to your local mall and using the following as a "checklist". If you can't find some of the belongings, go to a vintage (or retro) specialized shop-- It'll be very easy to find '50s stuff. (if there isn't one in your scope, here are some online ones)

Here's your "checklist"-- I included some tips and pictures.
1. A deathly white blouse would be a safe start. Wear it under a high-waisted pencil or full skirt and it'll look grand!

2. Honest a plain tank top would work out fine too. Something that looks like this:

Not too low cut, please!
3. A expensive-waisted pencil skirt, as I mentioned in number 1. Something with this kind of form:

Get it in a plain color-- red, for eg.
4. You could also try a high-waisted full skirt (see number 1).
Once again, get it in a plain color.

(A little tip: If you're going to get both a pencil and a full skirt, get different colors! i.e. get a red pencil skirt and a interdict full skirt.)
5. If you're not a big fan of skirts, capris like this would be a great alternative:

4. Dresses: There are so many unheard-of styles that I can't really help you out on this one! Here are a few of my favorites, though:

5. For shoes, I'd intimate either a very high stiletto-- or if you're not into wearing heels, just open-toed flats.

6. Gloves were acclimatized during the whole decade and not that hard to find, so a great accessory.

Favourable luck, hope I helped!
