Going back in time.. to the 1950s!!

Hey there,

Just have some materials that I want to put to good use and was browsing around when I stumbled upon some really gorgeous vintage clothing. So googling the past fashion statements, I seem to have a particular interest in the 1950s fashion such as:

From these pictures, the silhouette of the dresses are tight from top to waist and then flairs out as massively as possible. This gives plenty of ideas as to designing some clothing for personal usage and I can't wait to get cracking and put them up. I'm particularly drawn to the bridal wear of the 1950s through the use of satin material mixed with lace. And I hope that through my drawings and I can create some wonderful experiments.
