A few years after World War II ended, the fashion world saw some notable changes. This was a transition period when there were many different ideas and developments. Straight skirts, simple jackets, and vertical lines were everywhere in the 1950s.
Dior even had a fashion line focused on vertical design, incorporating straight lines into pleats, tucking, details, and very narrow outlines. The sheath dress was also very popular for formal affairs, and large items were added for flare, such as bows, sashes, and scarves.
These amazing color photos were found by Adam that show what women really wore in the 1950s.
