Are 1950s costumes in style?

Fifties Costumes

Soft but wide shoulders, corseted waist, and full hips were hallmarks of fifties costumes but silhouettes were more varied. On these outlines, women wore a trim bodice and very full knee-length skirt, or a fitted short, boxy jacket or blouse with a pencil-straight skirt. One style that hid all the rest, literally, was the cocoon-like sacque dress and coat, which fitted the shoulders and bloomed at the waist and hips.
