About MeShort 1950s evening dress with a fitted bodice and a wide full circular skirt. The bodice of the dress is decorated with clear bugle beads and pearls in a floral design. The 1950s saw a return to the glamour of the pre-war years. Materials and trimmings, denied because of clothes rationing, became more readily available.
