1950s Women's Fashion
To further help my research I first tried looking in the library for books concerning 1950s fashion, however all the books I looked through had only very small sections on it with no real pictures for reference, or were more focused on prints and textiles rather than actual cuts and styles of clothing.
And so I turned to the internet to help. There are lots of blogs run by girls and women inspired by 50s fashion and consequently there is lots of reference material for me to use, wether it be vintage photographs or images of modern vintage-styled clothing.
These two modern dresses are directly influenced by the 1950s. Halterneck cuts were popular at the time too, as well as polka dot prints, and the dresses have the typically big, full skirts of the 1950s. This type of dress gives the wearer a petite hourglass figure and a girly charm, and so it could be a good dress to experiment on the GHW (Grand High Witch) with.
Wiggle dresses were a tighter, sexier form of dress for women in the 50s. It emphasises the female form and is both sultry and powerful, so yet another good choice for a witch. Another example of figure fitting clothing is in the form of trousers and capri pants, popular with young women at the time. Pencil skirts were also worn, particularly by 'greaser' girls rather than their more feminine counterparts.
