1950's fashion is an iconic time in the fashion history book.  It varied greatly through the decade and took inspiration from many 1920's styles. The 50's was the time in which a little more freedom was being introduced in what you can and can not wear. More lady's preferred the tighter Dior dress waist, where as others preferred dresses with no waistline; also known as “sack dresses.”

Buzzwords at the time were “shape” and “sheen” due to the un-answered question about the waistline, as well as the glistening elegance that wondered the streets at night on un-aware public models.


Eye's were caught by tailored coats in chiffon, silk and lace which were worn over summer dresses, not for warmth, but for the gorgeous flow of the garment that complimented the dress underneath.
