Happy Holidays from 1955

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season, full of vintage beauty, success, and happiness. For your enjoyment, here is a quick splash of seasonal red and green with this elegant sketch of a 1955 formal gown from Balenciaga.

A trailing panel gives a wonderful floating look to the evening gown, which features a deep back-jutting decolletage. Stunning.

Resort Fashion - A Swimsuit with Boned, Strapless Decolletage!

This one-piece, shiny, cotton satin bathing suit is boned, creating a strapless "evening gown" top. She's dressed as if she just walked off a ballroom floor. It's dreamy fashion from 1951.
