Without all the extra accessories worn in the 1950s a ’50s style cocktail dress looks simple and modern enough for any cocktail party. It’s a well-known fact that the three Modcloth dresses below are the fit and flare style with flocked dots lace overlay and texture print. Itseems like most party dresses fall either into the 1920s beaded slip dress or 1950s fit and flare dress styles.

Other accessories didn’t need to match and were often avoided. Less was wore in the 1960s except for a ’20s does 60’s revival where beaded and sequined slip dresses came back in fashion. I really seek for wear this to my next party!

For my last cocktail look I put gether a beautiful gold fit and flare lace dress with matching sparkling gold heels, whitish gloves, and a chunky crystal necklace.

I am sure that the 1950s were the heyday of the cocktail dress. Women were hosting cocktail parties in their homes attending their husbands office parties and usually were dressing nicer than the past few decades. Ankle length dresses made out of chiffon with ruffled hems anddraped layers or the sleek slip dress were the preferred styles during1918to 1924. While the cocktail dress eventually became the iconic flapper dress its early origins were a lot more dainty. Besides, That’s a fact, it’s easy to image women in elegant beaded flapper dresses drinking and dancing in speakeasy’s throughout the roaring twenties. These wiggle dresses are what most women think of when they seek for a 1940s cocktail dress. Then the late 1940s started to see a slimming silhouette.
