1950's

Post-war American fashion defined by full skirts, cinched waists, petticoats, and polished femininity epitomized by Christian Dior's New Look. This aesthetic celebrated domesticity and prosperity in suburban America with rockabilly and pin-up influences. Staple pieces include full circle skirts with petticoats, fitted cardigans, capri pants, saddle shoes or kitten heels, cat-eye glasses, and swing dresses.
