1950's

The 1950's showed a wide variety of distinctive styles. It was in this era that women drastically changed the way they presented themselves. 

some of the new trends in the 1950's were buttoned up sweaters, simple necklines, fitted blouses and full knee length skirts.

Fitted evening wear in this period was most commonly strapless or sleeveless which was emphasised with sheer silk fabrics.

The full skirts in the 1950's were emphasised by adding a nylon petticoat underneath. This created fullness and transformed the skirt.

Another popular trend in the 1950's was the trapeze skirt.
