Ettinger, Roseann

Those swinging 50s are fondly remembered in this bright and catchy book of everyday fashions for men, women, boys and girls. Pictured are the day and evening dresses, suits, sports clothing, sweaters, ties, socks, and sleepwear so typical of the 1950s. Over 600 color photographs and sales catalog advertisements bring the clothes right into your living room. The popular Western styles for boys are a particularly strong group here. A glossary defines terms as they were used in the '50s, and the index will help locate your favorite article.
