Style Trend: 1950′s Style with Dorothy Perkins

August 11th, 2011 by Monique

Ever since the television hit Mad Men came on the air, I’ve been eyeing all 1950′s fashion. Even Banana Republic has introduced a Mad Men inspired line. For a second, I’ll imagine I’m Christina Hendricks as Joan Harris.

I really want a dress now! And I can’t buy from Banana Republic, because they don’t carry my size. Then I remembered Dorothy Perkins carried a lot of 50′s style dresses and they have sizes up to a US 18.

Don’t you just love how the silhouette defines the waist and that flared skirt? Great for showing off those curves! They remind me of I Love Lucy! Ok, These dresses might be shorter than the average lengths of dresses back then. Regardless, I’m still “madly” in love!

What do you think about 1950′s inspired dresses?
