I Like 50's Fashion I would love to travel in a time machine and just walk down the streets and...

I love those fashions. I prefer men to be men and women to be women. I think there is something strong and valuable about men in ties and women and girls in dresses always. I was raised to wear stockings not tights also and I see so many women with ugly bare legs or unsuitable fashions.

Hi, I must be really old! Born in 1949 I remember the 1950’s like a black and white film!
Endlessly playing out- no fear of cars, there was only one on our street! We did not have a television until I was 11, and starting my Girks Convernt Grammar school.
Simple, happy days. Then again, a majority of people thinks the best times were either their early years or their parents generation- too many stories with rose tinted spectacles!

I've been watching a show set in the 50s. I wasn't alive back then, so don't know for sure of course, but it seems to me that the attention to detail in the costuming is spot-on. I like period pieces that do a good job at recreating what things were like way back when. I suppose the good ones are sort of like time machines in a way. :-)

Cathy, I feel the same way. Love the 50's and 40's fashion and manners. Was around in the 50's but love the 40's from the movies. Films like Mrs. Minever and Dambusters portrayed a finer world.

Why should any sweet young lady
Feel it’s not right to be seen
In bobbing, puffing petticoats
And little white gloves quite pristine?
What’s wrong with crisply perfect,
Gleaming satin bows perched in her hair?
And prim white collars neatly starched
And strictly buttoned up to there?

How easily she’ll find her beaming smile can stay in place,
When she enjoys a starched white collar
And bow tie to frame her painted face!
A light of love unto the world is just what she’ll present
Demurely buttoned up most ladylike: a sight that’s Heaven-sent!
