Those swinging 50s are fondly remembered in this bright and catchy book of everyday fashions for men, women, boys and girls. The day and evening dresses, suits, sports clothing, sweaters, ties, socks, and sleepwear so typical of the 50s are pictured. Over 600 color photographs and sales catalog advertisements bring the clothes right into your living room. The popular Western styles for boys are a particularly strong group here. A glossary defines terms as they were used in the 50s, and the index will help locate your favorite article. The price guide reflects the current market for 50s fashions that are immensely popular today.

This review is from: 50S Popular Fashions for Men, Women, Boys & Girls: With Price Guide (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
This is a great book for reference of 50s fashions.It is full of color photos of clothing ads from the 50s and actual garments and accessories. It also includes a helpful glossary and index.I don't care for the look of the manequins the clothes are displayed on, otherwise I am very pleased with this book.

This review is from: 50S Popular Fashions for Men, Women, Boys & Girls: With Price Guide (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
This book has a terrible layout. Some of the clothes are nice, but they are shown on wire forms which make them look awful. Not an eye pleaser at all, but it serves as an ok reference.
