How can there be so little background information on the lovely fashion model Marie-Thérèse. She had a prolific photo portfolio.<br />
<br />
Is she the same Marie-Thérèse who was Pablo Picasso's muse and model?<br />
<br />
Is she the same as Marie-Thérèse Walter?<br />
<br />
It seems, the more we search, the less we know.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, we do have a few exquisite photographs to show you.</div>

Ford created the career and represented most of the top fifties models. Included among these supermodels were Jean Patchett, Dorian Leigh, Suzy Parker, Evelyn Tripp, Lisa Fonssagrives, Mary Jane Russell, Carmen Dell'Orefice, Dovima, Lillian Marcuson, Dolores Hawkins, Sunny Harnett, Nan Rees, and Georgia Hamilton. They would go on to work for many of the most influential fifties' fashion designers, magazines, and photographers.</div>

Women's stocking industry was revolutionized in 1939 when DuPont Chemical Company chemist, Wallace Hume Carothers, developed a synthetic fabric named nylon.<br />
<br />
Cheap, durable, stretchy, and sheer nylon stockings were first introduced by DuPont at 1939's New York World's Fair. They quickly became a high demand product.<br />
<br />
After ramping up production in their new plant in Seaford, Delaware, DuPont sold 64 million pairs of nylons in their first year.<br />
<br />
In 1942, nylon fibers became very scarce as they were needed for wartime parachutes and tents.The remaining or contraband nylon stockings soon became prized possessions.<br />
<br />
With the end of the war in 1945, nylon stocking demand returned with a vengeance.<br />

Early stockings were fastened to garters on open bottom girdles for a smooth and non-sagging look. </div>
<div>
<br />
If the women chose not to wear a girdle, they attached their nylon stockings to a garter belt worn around their waist and under a full slip. These nylons were knit in a manner that required a cotton seam down the back.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the invention of circular knit machines, seamless stockings became available in 1950.<br />

Under the threat of Nazism, a young Cornelia Katz left her native Vienna at the young age of 21. She escaped to Paris with very little more than a few lengths of calfskin leather. She would travel on to England to await a visa to enter the USA. However, she met and shortly married Jack James and remained there to become England's premier glovemaker.<br />
<br />
Having studied glovemaking at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, she taught the handcraft as a part of occupational therapy for wounded soldiers during World War II.<br />
<br />
After the conclusion of the war, James realized that post war Europe's 'utility' clothing could easily be brightened by colorful gloves. Cornelia James, Ltd was born with their goal being to bring quality, freshness, and gaiety to the fashion world.<br />

James' efforts were soon rewarded when couturiers Norman Hartnell and Hardie Amies were attracted to her designs. In 1947 James was commissioned by Hartnell to design all of the gloves for Princess Elizabeth's wedding trousseau.<br />
<br />
This was the beginning of a long-standing relationship between Cornelia James and the royal household. James was granted a Royal Warrant in 1979. <a href="https://www.corneliajames.com/pages/royal-warrant" target="_blank">James Royal Warrant</a><br />

We were called out on our Facebook Page when I labeled an Adrian dress worn by Joan Crawford as polka dots. Upon closer examination, the lovely 1930's dress appears more Dotted Swiss than a simply woven into the fabric polka dot. It is especially notable on the lovely matching gloves.<br />

You can click on this <a href="https://vintagefashionguild.org/fabric-resource/dotted-swiss/" target="_blank">Vintage Fashion Guild</a> link for an excellent explanation and description of Dotted Swiss fabrics.<br />
<br />
Popular opinion on the origins of the still popular Dotted Swiss or Swiss Dots is that the fabric originated in 1750 in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Switzerland had been a textile center since the 15th century.<br />
<br />
Although I have always loved polka dots, I am particularly fond of Dotted Swiss. My <a href="http://www.livinginfiftiesfashion.com/p/my-oklahoma-city-grandma.html">Oklahoma City Grandmother </a>made many of my Easter dresses of Dotted Swiss.<br />
<br />
I don't remember the dress but my aunts have told me I had the cutest little red Dotted Swiss dress when I was about three years old. Sometimes I think I remember the dress but I suppose I am just remembering the photographs.<br />
<br />
Enough about me - enjoy the following photographs of Dotted Swiss dresses.<br />

After working a few years for his father's Princess Garment Company, Philip M. Meyers founded Fashion Frocks, Inc.<br />
<br />
Employing mostly women, the company sold their garments door-to-door utilizing a style card or salesman sample. In the 1950's, the frocks were sold in home parties much like Tupperware parties.<br />
<br />
Housewives chose the outfit they wanted based on the image and description on the card. A sample of the fabric was attached to each card. The salesperson noted colors, price, deposit, and shipping information on the back of the card.<br />
<br />
The style cards would be returned to the manufacturing company based in Cincinnati, Ohio for processing. At the height of their success, the company reported serving one million customers in the United States.<br />
<br />
These style cards are a collector's delight.<br />

I am seeing a lot of photos on social media of young ladies in their beautiful prom dresses.<br />
<br />
Do you remember your prom dresses?<br />
<br />
My Junior Prom dress was a blue full length eyelet dress with short puff sleeves and a satin bow at the waist. It was lovingly made by my Aunt.<br />
<br />
My Senior Prom dress was a full length lace dress we bought at one of the few dress shops in our small town.<br />
<br />
We would love to hear (or even see a photograph) about your prom dress.<br />
<br />
Please enjoy a look back at a few 1950's prom dresses.<br />

Born Noelie Dasouza Machado, China (Pronounced CHEE-na) Machado was a Chinese born Portuguese-American fashion model who rocked fifties' runways during a time the fashion industry was still struggling with diversity.<br />
<br />
Although widely thought the first non-Caucasian model to appear on the cover of a major American fashion magazine, her daughter states the model featured on the cover of the February 1959 issue of Harper's Bazaar is not China Machado..<br />

I have been remembering my Easter outfits. Although she did buy me a few outfits, my <a href="http://www.livinginfiftiesfashion.com/p/my-oklahoma-city-grandma.html" target="_blank">Oklahoma City Grandma</a> usually made my Easter dresses. They always looked like they were store bought though.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I always got a new petticoat to wear with my new dress. I remember how scratchy the stiffly starched petticoats felt against my legs. The crinolines were the worst but I loved how I could twirl the dress out like a ballerina's tutu. </div>

Sometimes I would get new cotton panties with the days of the week embroidered on them. I was rarely able to keep a full set very long though. After a while, I didn't care if I wore Tuesday panties on Saturday.<br />
<br />
I remember how the flocking on my dotted Swiss dress felt as I smoothed it down when I was at church. I liked dotted Swiss dresses the best but Grandma made a lot of my dresses out of a pastel cotton weave fabric.<br />

My Easter bonnet was usually the fascinator type that bit sharply into my head like a hair band. Sometimes it had a ribbon tie or clips that held it snug across my head.<br />

For everyday use I wore matching hair barrettes. Mama fastened them so tightly I thought they were digging into my scalp.<br />

I was saddened to hear of the death of one of the last true gentlemen in the fashion industry. Hubert de Givenchy was an iconic fifties' courturier known as much for his charm and sophistication as for his elegant and chic fashions.<br />
<br />
Givenchy's four decades long career began in 1952 on the Rue Alfred de Vigny in Paris where his first show of "Separates" featured a white linen blouse with flounced sleeves and eyelet embroidery by Pierre Brivet.<br />
<br />
It was modeled by Bettina Graziani and was worn with a skirt of Hurel gabardine. It is still known as the "Bettina Blouse."<br />

Givenchy's more famous patrons included Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Grace of Monaco and Jacqueline Kennedy. However, it was his relationship with Audrey Hepburn that would transcend professionalism and forge a lifelong friendship.<br />

In an interview with Dana Thomas of The New York Times, Givenchy reminisced about Ms. Hepburn, "When the telephone would ring in the studio, I would know it was her. I would answer, and she would say, "I know you are busy, but I want to send you a big kiss." and she would hang up. That was Audrey."<br />

Typically a posh affair put on by the town's socialites, a fifties' garden party was often thrown to showcase the host's elaborate estate. Invitations to the party were extended.<br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bar and buffet tables dressed in white cloths and decorated with bowls of pink peonies or fragrant garden roses were set up on the well-manicured lawns. Pitchers of pink lemonade with platters of canapes, cakes, fruits, and sandwiches was favored garden party fare. Frosty cocktails were berry and fruit flavored. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An afternoon garden party was the perfect occasion to dress in pretty floral cotton or linen print fabrics paired with matching wide brimmed hats and low heels or strappy sandals. The dress' waist was cinched with either a sash or a thin belt with the requisite crinoline petticoat peeking beneath the full skirt.</div>
