In the 50's sddle oxford shoes{not at all cute},poodle skirts length had to be at the knee or below,lso penny loafer shoes,button up sweaters,now fshion is whatever looks good on the person and length is not mini but not down to your ankles either.Polka dots were in in the 50's but not now. Style is so much up to the individual now compared to what was "hip" back. Take a look at a happy days rerun on nick at nite,leather jackets for guys full skirts for girls.

Dont get them. Be happy the way you are. I'm 32A and happy with it, and because I'm small I wont sag when I get older (my friend is only 24 and a DD and is sagging). Besides that you'll have to get them redone after so many years. Like your self the way you are. Audrey Hepburn was small  (34 A) and was chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history.  Also in the 20's the trend was to be flat chested there where bras made to flatten womens chest.\n\nHere is a link for you, that you should read (its great)\nhttp://www.retroradar.com/Dixieland___Thanks_for_the_Mam.68.0.html\n\none about the 20's trend\nhttp://www.fashion-era.com/flapper_fashion_1920s.htm#

Well, I haven't been around since the 1960's, but one thing that has changed a lot just in the time I've been alive is contraception.  We have a lot more options now than women did even a couple decades ago, and the pill has gotten much safer.  The first pills had a huge amount of hormones in them and they had a lot of bad side effects.  They were also very expensive.  Now they have much fewer hormones in them so the side effects are nowhere near as bad as they would have been with the old pills, and they're very affordable--I pay $12/month for mine.  Plus we have all kinds of other contraception options too--the ring, the shot, the implant, the patch, and all the barrier methods.  Hormonal methods that we have today are much more effective than methods they had in the 1960's.

In the 1950's (in the UK) people were told work hard and save, come the 21st century you'll have better lifestyles. Work less hours, retire early and have loads of spare time to enjoy life and be living in a Sci-Fi type future. People had great expectations.\nWell all that seems have gone pear shaped, as people are working longer hours, expected to retire later and now have very little time to enjoy their lives. \n21st century? More like the 1940's. And I can't see the future getting any better.\nSorry to be a sourpuss.

Gap has opened a new brand called forth & towne but only a few stores in the east coast. It's more for 40+ women . . cool clothers for mom, not chico's.

I'm thinking......are you good at fashions?  What about the evolution of clothing?  Why did women wear corsets in the 20's and beyond.  Why was the Nauru collar a dud fashion in America...Why do men still wear ties? ( you could write a book on that alone) Why clogs, why see-through dress's in the 60s, go-go boots, mini skirts....wow! a million different fasts and opportunities and lots and lots of  pictures on the web.  Even throw in some early photos of fashions from your folks family album, grand parents. THE EVOLUTION OF FASHION...right up your alley...right.  Let me know how it turned out.. You're looking at an A+ here.

We are, Honey!! Just look at me!!  Seriously, if you look at pictures of people from back in the 30's and compare them with people of today, I think they ARE getting prettier. Of course there are exceptions. There were SOME beautiful people then and there's some DAWGS now, but, to answer your question, I think they are (getting prettier)and it will most likely progress.

C. personal freedom. People, especially women felt very liberated after the end of the Edwardian era. Short skirts, short hair, they could smoke in public, drink, and vote. All these things were unheard of before the 1920's.

I'm in my 50's and I love older women my age. Younger ones are all about how they look and what they wear. Older women usually know what they want and how to get it without all of this bull>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The 60's were definitely an era of change in more than one area. It was a revolution of sorts. Not all the boomers were into free love, sex, and drugs. Throw in the Vietnam War and there was a lot of controversy about the times, the generation, the beliefs at the time.....it was as each significant era distinctly its' own. I lived it, didn't agree with all of it, look back try to make sense of it all, and realize your kids just like you are gonna do what they are gonna do, and all the song and dance doesn't stop it merely changes. You usually don't learn from someone elses mistakes unfortunately. So ironic and humorous not really simply par for the course......of life.

I agree, women today dress more like prostitutes than respectful. There's no reason for them to show that much skin, its so tasteless. They don't have to wear burkas, but they don't need to dress like they're in porno flic neither. 42+ years ago women dressed very tastefully, why can't go back to that?

For me personally the 80's were like the 60's for my parents.Sex,drugs and rock-n-roll. Free love and all that. Bell bottoms came back for awhile tie dye and concert shirts.If you watch that 70's show. The early to mid 80's wasn't much different. I would Donna and my friend Amy was more like Jackie. I hope this helps.

Apparently about the time of the Paris fashion change from full dresses with multiple petticoats to “directoire” or the sheath dresses.  This was in the late 1890’s or early 1900’s.  By 1908, they were in Chicago.  NYC probably saw them earlier.\nSee the reference below:

hmm, twinsets, capris, halter tops, full skirts, anything kind of fifties.  Hair in a ponytail, french twist.  horn-rim glasses, cat eye glasses, saddle shoes, mary janes, black leather jackets, (biker style), pencil skirts, levis rolled to capri length, that's all I can think of right now.
