Flared Dresses

The signature look of women's fashion in the 1950s was the flared dress. Created by Christian Dior as part of his "New Look" 50s dresses nip in at the waistline and flare out over the hips to create an hourglass silhouette. The style has evolved over the years to include the Pinup Girl look as well as the Rockabilly style. Whatever your personal style it is a flattering cut for so many body shapes, from petite to plus size.
