1950s fashion championed the hourglass figure and the sexy chic walk that went with it. Free from the fabric rationing of the War, women had access to bright coloured fabrics and could copy the flowing designs of creators like Dior. Clothes became prettier and available and no longer had to be practical and utilitarian.
By the mid 1950s full skirts began to be replaced by skirt that showed off the female shape more. Sheath dresses (also known as pencil dresses and more recently, wiggle dresses) , often worn with a short jacket became the height of fashion. Patterned fabrics were also replaced with plainer colours again.
The wiggle dress was defined by the fact that its waist was larger than its pinched in hemline, inspiring the "wiggle" walk when worn. Even those dresses and skirts with a slit from the hemline at the back did little to discourage the classic wiggle walk. This style was more fitting than the swing type dresses and often demanded a girdle underwear garment to tweak the figure and shape. http://www.iodress.com - bridesmaid dresses
