The influence of 1950s Americana is undeniable in the fashion industry. It’s in the attitude and it’s in the fabrics. Which is why for this outfit post we’re tipping our hats to rockabilly and the pin up girls of yesterday.
We’ve been into gingham lately and wanted to find a variety of looks that we could play with this fabric. So for this outfit we did a 1950s pin up girl approach to it with the red and white gingham flowing dress and oversized belt.
The upper half of the dress has such a great bustier shape that is very flattering to the figure and also reminds us of the bathing suits pin up girls use to wear back in the day. And we thought that the red patent leather belt is the perfect cherry on top to the whole look.
