The women's fashion in the 1950’s started getting more comfortable as they started to achieve their independence during World War II. Silhouette’s became straight and slim and as women were getting more jobs in the factories, they started wearing comforbatable clothes such as suits, shirtdresses and jeans. In the early 1950’s too, Christian Dior changed the fashion industry dramatically with her fashion line. Her new dresses went down to calf length and they were tight in which showed your hourglass figures. Some of the dresses were so tight it was hard to walk in but the tiny waist was what they tried to achieve in showing by also wearing corsets. Some of the political issues in the 1950’s were the cold war which was going on from 1947-1991.
