How To Get Dressed As A Women In The 1950s

Women in the 1950's usually woke up with robes or a see through dress in the mornings, I think the type of clothing depended on how old the ladies were.

Once they were up and around they took off their robe or dress and were left in their bra's and high-waisted panties.

These women would begin to put on a bit of a longer skirt with hooks hanging to fasten some tights that would come with a zipper.

This item of clothing was supposed to accentuate the hips and make them look wider. After this the ladies would put on their stockings, which they made sure to wear everyday and attach them to the hooks.

The next step would be to put a thinner skirt over the first skirt mentioned and this one extended along to the knee.

After this would come the dress that you have chosen to wear and this would cover up the two skirts and some of the tights.

What surprised me is that these dresses did not look like a thick material at all but of a thin material.

Since the dress was comfortable fitted on the women they then sometimes added a belt or tied the string at the back of the clothing item.

The way these 50's women styled their clothing is fascinating and look quite creative as well.

If you would love to see a detailed video of this process here is the link that I was inspired to write for my blog.

1950s Hairstyles That Were Popular and Easy

Thoughts on 50's Hairstyles Hairstyles back in this era were mostly shown of women with short curly hair. They had big curls that made the volume in their hair rise and looked so shiny as well. The women put curlers in their hair the night before while it was wet so once they took them out they would have lushish waves on the top of their heads. What is not talked about is that they did have long hair in this era. Those who did produced the commercials and photoshoots just did not include these types of women/hairstyles as much. All of these women had lots of volume and head full of hair as well, I am quite jealous. Those who had longer hair in the 1950's styled their hair with bigger curlers the night before as well. I would have to say I love the look of both hairstyles and I found them so intriguing!
