When I think of 50s fashion, I think of Lucy with her couture looking "stay at home and clean" ensembles. She was pretty glamorous even when dressing casually. Even Ethel had some sweet outfits although she played second fiddle to Lucy. Of course that was all a little crazy to me! I guess TV made the wardrobers go a little overboard with crinoline and taffeta. I can't imagine that much effort going in to everyday wear! These pictures have some lovely textures and color combinations that can inspire our modern day clothing choices, but forget about the pouf skirts unless you do square dancing!
loved their look,but those waists were sooooooo tiny...
ReplyDeleteFabulous images - I always wish I could look like that, so elegant and glamourous, but unfortunatley it'll never haen LOL
ReplyDeleteBTW Love your new blog look x JO
My sister dressed that way when I was growing up in the 50's. She was 10 years older than I and she always dressed like a fashion plate...Teeny waist,full skirt, heels, perfect make-up. She was my idol! By the time I was old enough to dress that way, things were changing, then came pants suits and dresses were out...so glad dresses and feminine attire are making a comeback in the fashion world!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a walk down memory lane!
Lovely pics, elegant time for fashion.
ReplyDeletegreat pics! Perfect for a photoshoot I'm doing, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes! So classic! Great picks! I love the first photo!
ReplyDeleteI love the fashions but over the years my waist line has expanded way too far for the dresses. I agree with Lucy/Ethel. I always wondered what color the dresses were.
