Blue floral dress, underdress, and belt, 1955
Order an ImageThis frothy floral dress is representative of fashions for women after the Second World War. While many women loved their wartime jobs, others thought of uniforms and overalls as reminders of hard times. Women’s fashions of the 1950s were sharp departure from the 1940s, often featuring full skirts and other design elements that would have been impossible under rationing restrictions. This dress has a sheer overlayer which matches the pattern on the dress underneath.
