awesome 50’s :)
I LOVE Diors ‘New Look’ clothes, I wish that I could have lived then, they were feminine and stylish. Unlike today.
its interesting how much fashion was brough to the front after the war those women really wanted to showcase and have huge amounts of fabric on their dresses no doubt! i really like the war years though as far as how crative designers and women got with fashion since they didnt have much to go on
