In 1947, Christian Dior, turned 1940s fashion upside down with his “New Look.” The New Look was big and bold and utterly feminine. And it started for the period boom of 1950s dresses.
Both styles had modest, snug fitting tops with narrow high waistlines, and shin-length or tea-length skirts. Both styles were worn by women equally although the sheath dress was too impractical to wear as a housedress.
Take a look at these glamorous pictures of dresses that girls often wore from the 1950s.
