Oh these dresses are absolutely gorgeous! I remember seeing pictures of my grammy in her prom dress when i was a little girl, it was such a fabulous time to be a teenage girl!

We don't have prom in England, but I love all these dresses! Their simplicity and the girls' ability to actually dance in them is so charming, it's nice that prom was about dancing and having fun rather than just the clothes like it's portrayed now.

The shapes are simple but the beading (all over the front sequins) is pretty bold for a teenager in the 40s. Although I'm possibly imagining more a more Auropean, austere version of the 40s!

Love, love this as my mom was a teen in the 1940s. She was not allowed to go to dances or anywhere at night unless her brothers chaperoned her.
What a different time. Sweet and love the hairdos.
