Wedding Dress Fashion of the 50s

After the war, women began to live peacefully at home, taking care of their appearance and taking time to be impressive. Women started to think about their image and style again.
Dresses were pinned at the high waist and the new Dior look was everywhere! Especially the wedding gowns: the wedding gowns (with a solid solid fabric like silk) had wonderful long skirts and were long.
Women wanted to regain their sensual appeal and the emphasis was on feminine looks and curves; always in the style of the time, in an elegant yet traditional way.
Accessories have become very important. Gloves, bags and hats , pearls and jewelry were really fashionable in those days. This was especially so for wedding gowns and evening dresses.
Hairstyles were of absolute importance. The Marilyn Monroe hairstyle or short curly hair was pretty trendy.
