Women’s fashion has undergone a lot of changes throughout history especially when it comes to evening gowns, with each era featuring its own unique styles and trends. One of the most iconic eras in fashion history is the 1950s, which was marked by an explosion of feminine refinement. The 1950s was a time of post-war optimism and prosperity in the United States. Fashion during this era was characterized by a desire for glamour, femininity, and elegance.

From McCall's, December 1952

The weather is freezing here in Seattle this week, so I think a winter coat post is in order. And I adore 1930s fashion. :) Pencil-slim and trimmed with a lynx fur collar and slanting bound pockets, this tailored coat from the late 1930s exudes devastating charm. That jaunty hat has a bit of swagger to it, too!
