Just chiming back in to say that you have totally created real theatre with this challenge. Will we be seeing some aspic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-50s-ladies-formal-and-junior-department#post-1471816 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 21:31:46 +0000 rabbit 1471816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks peeps!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks<b> Angie </b>-- I ran out of light around the 70's doing the photos, but will try for the 80's for you on Saturday if I can chore swap with the photographer. I have some ideas! heh where is the mousse....</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Keturah</b> - the green dress is actually Jones New York and I got it at Macy's a couple of years ago funnily enough, it just looks retro.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Firecracker</b> - good points, I think you are right about the pearls and the sweater -- I was thinking of my aunt's high school portrait - her hair was about the same length too.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-50s-ladies-formal-and-junior-department#post-1471789 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 21:05:58 +0000 Debora 1471789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing, Rabbit! You look like you stepped right out of the 50s. You are really being creative with this challenge. LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-50s-ladies-formal-and-junior-department#post-1471683 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 18:38:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1471683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look 1 is so elegant. You are gorgeous in the dress. And look 2 is totally fun. I noticed how the oxfords took on the saddle-shoe vibe with this treatment. Nicely done! Yes, your sweater might need to be tighter to be authentic, but it looks fantastic as is--the key, to me, is showing the waist. I think high-schoolers would have worn pearls--didn't they wear them in their yearbook photos, with the portrait collars? Or was that later? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-50s-ladies-formal-and-junior-department#post-1471649 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 17:58:41 +0000 Anonymous 1471649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe that you've captured the essence of the era, through family generations so well. WOW! The way you styled your hair, the fabrications, the stance, the shoes! Amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-50s-ladies-formal-and-junior-department#post-1471648 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 17:57:51 +0000 Summer 1471648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing 50s looks, rabbit.

You have such talent, such an eye... Utterly amazing!&nbsp;</p> <p>However.... that ladylike chartreuse satin&nbsp;dress makes me want to cry for love and joy! Wherever did you find such a stunner???

YAY. Sooooo fun. Your theatrical threads are BRILLIANT.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>WOW.</b> You've upgraded your very high Fashion Era Challenge entries&nbsp;by including family renditions.<i> AMAZING.</i> And of course - killer to the power of killer.&nbsp;</p> <p>Look at you in that second outfit doing the jitterbug.&nbsp;<b>LOVE.&nbsp;</b>I like the little socks with the oxfords too.&nbsp;An adorable touch. You would look 100% at home wearing that outfit in Tokyo - especially in Harajuku.&nbsp;</p> <p>(I am going to be very disappointed if you skip the '80s, Rabbit. PLEASE do an '80s story too).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-50s-ladies-formal-and-junior-department#post-1471601 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 16:45:19 +0000 texstyle 1471601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I continued to be amazed by your fashion talents - the first dress is beautiful on you and I think you should wear it again. Both are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-50s-ladies-formal-and-junior-department#post-1471584 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 16:32:31 +0000 rabbit 1471584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did two from this decade. &nbsp;The first involved a wedding party dress I wore once and a silk pashmina shawl as a shrug. &nbsp;Pointy toed pumps and my grandmothers faux pearls. &nbsp; Also an attempt at Eisenhower era hair, lol.</p> <p>The second is her younger sister practicing for&nbsp;the sock hop as I try to remember how to swing (west coast? east coast?). &nbsp;I think my sweater is not quite tight enough for the era. I'm pretending my oxfords are saddle shoes.&nbsp; Also were pearls on teens only for formal dances and school portraits?</p> <p>All feedback welcome!</p>
