"Diana Dresses" (1955)

All sorts of fashions made their way down couture catwalks in the 1950s—the 'A Line', the 'H Line', the 'Sack' and the 'bubble' skirt.  However, judging from the advertising in the fashion magazines, one design remained popular with the public through the entire decade and into the next: light summer dresses with narrow waits and bouffant skirts.

Here are a few advertised by just one manufacturer in the year 1955.
