Welcome To 1961

Its finally the new year...2011. I can't believe people have come such a long way. And how everything has changed especially the clothes...its unbelieveable fashion these days. From Bellbottom jeans to Skinny jeans, from Polka dot dresses to low cut backless V-necks. Plus the funny thing is is that all these styles are coming back...one way or another. The waistline and hipline areas began to be redefined. Bloused tops were much more shallow. Princess dresses and coats were a great deal more shaped at the front, and loose overblouses were belted or sashed. Some of the avant-garde designers revived the high Empire bosom line marked by a fabric band or sash. The Pauline Trigere collection named this the "high-pitched" silhouette. The armhole grew smaller, which in turn gave the bosom area more definition. Bias-cut clothes clung much closer to the figure. Diagonally drawn, shallow drapery was used to mold the torso. Many draped evening dresses were drawn upward at one shoulder with the other shoulder bared. As the torso became more fitted, the hemline dropped a little and took on more flare. Cone-shaped or bell skirts were set over interfacing to give a smooth, firm silhouette, above which was placed an overblouse of jacket. Many pleated skirts were shown beneath hipline jackets or long overblouses. Slender-looking skirts sread into walking width by means of deep, umpressed panels at front or sides. Wide flounces or borders of feathers or flowers appeared at the hemline of short evening dresses.
 Fashion now is sort of a mixture of previous decades. In the early 2000s women wore Ugg boots, jean miniskirts, Burberry, hip-hop inspired sweatpants, Daisy Dukes, ripped jeans, denim jackets and Tank tops showing there stomach. Colors like baby blue, yellow and hot pink were popular. From the mid-late 2000s women wore lowrise skinny jeans, cowboy boots, trenchcoats, longer tank tops and Boho inspired dresses. And now fashions are still the same.
