Getting to the Point

Dress elements that include an extended point or peak have been popular through the decades, even the centuries. Whether at the waist, drop waist, or high waist, whether sharp or curved, the extended point always adds class.  Here is a short set of examples of the extended point across the decades.

Let's begin with 3 examples from the 1940s. The first dress illustrates the most popular use of the extended point, the basque bodice, here with a short drop waistline. The second dress inverts the point, creating a beautiful mirror to the sweetheart neckline. The third dress narrows the extended point and takes it into the midriff - a delicious design.





1950s dresses also made great use of the extended point, as these graceful New Look dresses demonstrate.




These wedding gowns from the 1960s take the upward extended point to the empire waistline, to beautiful effect.


 
These adorable dresses from the 1970s use the same upward extended point starting at high and empire waistline.


 
And in the 1980s, formal dresses  such prom dresses and wedding gowns, added a romantic touch with the extended point of the basque bodice.

  1. I respect what you have done here. I like the part where you state you are doing this to give back yet I would expect by every one of the remarks this is working for you too. I as of late went over your blog and have been perusing along. I figured I would leave my first remark. I don't have the foggiest idea what to state aside from that I have appreciated perusing. Decent blog. I will continue visiting this blog regularly. if you visit this site Pretty In Pink Prom Dress
