I love the video but hate the music. It doesn't fit in with the beautiful compilation you have obviously put in a lot of work to. I have downloaded but will keep the music off when I watch.

I'm sorry you can't see the ATTITUDE in these women...........I can!

ok, I know why the 80's song with the 50's dresses!#1 we were coming out of the depression#2 Christian Dior had struck a new idea for womens clothing to have "MORE YARDAGE"(fuller skirts)than what we'd been wearing in the 40's what with rationing "points" being used for clothing we had to "make do & mend" we had a surplus of men's clothes since they were "ISSUED" their wardrobes we used their suits to make our dresses by the 50's we were out of the war & ready for,you guessed it: A new attitude!

I've been collecting vintage patterns for about 20 years and I love your video. I'm making several dresses from the 40's for my daughters.....They love vintage clothes too! I don't have some of those patterns that you featured and would love to get my hands on them!

[txbelle48]

Thank you. They are all patterns I have had in the past, although most are long gone now..........these are just my Favorites.

I'd love to see that full skirt back in fashion for girls and early 20's women.

I love the music. It may not be 50's music, but it expresses the mood of the time and it makes the fashion feel modern and "hip" which is what it felt like at the time.

Its nice to spent a quiet Saturday afternoon being transported back to that time. It felt very modern to us children and my memories of the time still are of a modern, fresh exciting time, in no way "quaint" or "silly" to a 2011 mind.

I tried maknig many of these fashions when I was a girl. To my mother's disappointment and Mine they never looked as good on me as they did on the models.Looking at the pictures now I can understand more clearly one reason why that was so. Like all fashion, I guess , the models don't really represent real life bodies. I loved the fashion of the flaired skirt with lots of tuille petticoats underneath. Its the only fashion in my 61 years of life ( born in 1949 ) that really took my breath away.

Very COOL clothing...I wish these styles would come back!!

Great video! I liked it.

I like your video - interesting: fashions from the 50s and 80s music. My own Youtube videos depicting 50s fashions and handbags as well as from other eras are indicative too that in those days, people truly enjoyed dressing up and looking elegant. Thanks for posting!

[fine7065]

You did a great job in putting this video BUT YOUR MUSIC does not go with it. I had to turn the music off.
