Vintage 1950s Wedding Dress Patterns

1950s bridal fashion celebrated romance and elegance with sweetheart necklines, fitted waists and full skirts supported by petticoats. Satin, lace, chiffon and tulle created luxurious silhouettes, while long sleeves and matching bolero jackets were fashionable. By the late 1950s, lighter tea-length and ballerina-style gowns gained popularity. See 1950s Fashion Styles.
