1950-60's ♥

fashion from 1950 - 60: 


Featuring tight bodices and flowing or fitted skirts, high heels and sexy undergarments, 1950's is unforgettable. the classic 1950's look consists of pretty prints, an hourglass shape with more bouncy fun features. 

Some women may have worn a simple shift dress to do the housework in but when leaving the house they would dress more proper, adding a pair of gloves and a smart handbag.

Around 1955, fashion shifted once again. Instead of the full-hipped skirts so popular during the first half of the decade, silhouettes became slimmer. Sheath dresses became more common and were often topped with a cropped bolero jacket. The hourglass figure gave way to a more columnar shape. Instead of the plaid and polka dots so popular in the early 50s, late-50s styles featured more monochrome fabrics.
