| Try to keep in mind that the strapless gown looks great on every woman, because each and every one has a great décolletage (upper chest). The necklines that are flattering on a large chest are deep ones and on a flatter chest choose a high neck line. The very fashionable things in the 1950s were woolen fitted suits with pencil skirts and an accentuated waist. The girdle and corselette was at its height in fashion. Beads and sequins were found all over shirts and tops. The torso was elongated with buttoning and lines. For the day, the skirts were below the knee and in the evening the skirts were even longer. For shoes, wear round toes with heels. You can wear either a small kitten heel or heels several inches high. Whatever the height they will make you feel incredibly glamorous and they also make your feet look elegant and small. Try to recreate the chic hairstyles of this era as well with chignons, quiffs and beehives. The chignon is easy to create as long as you have medium length hair, I would go to your local beauty shop to buy hair pins and a bun-maker. These will help to recreate the great fashion, and help your hair stay put all evening. For more information ask your hair stylist. For real inspiration watch films like How To Marry A Millionaire and check out what Marilyn Monroe wears and her friends also. The glamour is completely represented in this film, perhaps too much. More great vintage prom dress styles are from the 60s and eighties; be confident and make the outfit your own. |
