After World War II in the 1950s, fashion took on an air of rebellion. Cloth and clothing were available again, so fashion designers and customers were breathing a sigh of relief and rediscovering personal styles.
Between Dior gowns, poodle skirts, and saddle shoes, the clothing was unique. The hem lines had moved back up, and femininity was back to being popular after so many years of more serious clothing. In Europe, they had started to focus on ready-to-wear clothing and cocktail dresses, which were the new evening wear.
Colors were also brighter, and patterns were floral and feminine. The music during this time also had an influence over the clothing; since rock and roll required the ability to move, swing, and bounce around, the clothing had to allow this. Another odd fashion choice during this era was the cone-shaped bra, which was popular in Hollywood.
During the '60s and '70s, fashion changed drastically. Women wore pants, mini-skirts, bell-bottoms, and flowy clothing.
