  5. What great images! I have a soft spot for the fashion of that era. My grandmother used to have the most amazing hats from the 50s and 60s that she had held on to (with a pair of matching gloves and handbags for each.) And when I was really really good she let me play dress up with them.

  41. What ever happened to those high-necked sweaters? I had a few from the 50s, but the silver fish got to them. Why aren't these sweaters back in style. They are so flattering.
