Boleros appeared in the late 1930s, so it's more the slim dress that's the key to dating it. The hemline is very long, so I doubt it's after 1955. I might look around some more and come back later.</p> <p>The middle lady in particular is slightly later in New Look... guessing around 1953? Grace Kelly wears a very similar suit in Rear Window, released in 1954.</p> <p>The third lady might be earlier than either... or later, since it's such a classic style it's been back many times. Her skirt isn't very full and there's no petticoat (or it's crushed flat), so I'd put it around 1950. That's just a guess, though. Strapless dresses had their big day in the 1950s, but they first showed up in the late 1930s and in movies in the 1940s.</p> <p>I would google for Dior fashion photography, especially magazine spreads, for good dates. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dates-for-outfits-needed#post-1619269 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 20:44:44 +0000 nina56 1619269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi here are some more fashions I would like to put a date on.&nbsp;<br />The mans outfit is not important but if there are any indications that it is from a particular era, it might be nice. But the three ladies. I'm guessing they are probably the 50's but more precise a year is what I would like to have. After this I only have one more dress to date. Thanks for all your help</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2238WMigTT4/VWIKi_yAjPI/AAAAAAAASLw/sACy8bW15Rc/s320/10985504_101535137509">http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2238.....1535137509</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
