……………..The 50s IMHO was not the best era for clothes…..but….there were a few trends that did appeal to me…….HALTER tops with SWEETHEART necklines was one of the trends I did like. There was something super sexy about the halter, and the provocative neckline. They were made popular by many of the Hollywood film stars that wore them……Jane Russel and Ruth Roman come to mind…..I guess I’m dating myself, but hey I am 75!…….From left to right……The cotton pique button front top was attached to a cotton/lycra jersey bottom creating a play “romper”……The dress was to be a button front cotton/lycra jersey top attached to an organza bottom……The black button front slim belted dress was slated to be black linen…….The midi white dress was described in 6 ply rayon crepe……The two piece romper below was to be in a textured cotton stretch pique……Instead of straps the collar created the halter effect.
