1950's Swing Dresses

1950's Style Swing Dresses

Swing Dresses, also known as Party or Prom Dresses, Pin Up Dresses or Rockabilly Dresses, became popular in the early 1950's especially for wearing to the local hop or dance. Large and small Polka Dots in many different colour combinations were in great demand and are still very fashionable today. Print designs were not limited to Polka Dots though with checks and floral prints prevailent as well as simple plain colours usually with detail or feature pieces to the waist or neck for a classic look. They can be worn with and without full petticoats which accentuate the flare of the full circle skirt of a Swing Dress. Plus sizes are available in many of the dress designs.
