Wedding Eras. The 1950's

Fashion is always moving in a circle, and we once again return to the feminine silhouette during the 1950's. Gone are the 1940's military influences as women's fashion turned more abstract. Abstract meaning that the tailored fashions of the 1940's are now replaced with large "shell" qualities. Tiny waists are followed by full skirts with crinoline slips and the bust line once again accented. This is called a bell silhouette.

Trends in the 1950's included a very matching color pallet. From your hat, coat, scarf, gloves, etc., matching ensembles were very popular. Necklines moved wide to the shoulders, which gave a very romantic feel.  Women's fashion was all about glamour and being ultra feminine, something that had been lost in the previous era.

Lastly, the youth movement was taking over. Teenager (the named coined in the 50's) fashion was detouring from emulating adult fashion. Sweater sets and pants were becoming more popular and started to set standards for young adult fashions. Yay for denim!

A favorite designer of ours, Stephanie James Couture, designs wedding gowns that fit perfectly into the 1950's era.
