Shift Dress
Marking a change or shift in American cultures, this one-piece garment rose to popularity in the last leg of 1950. These easy-to wear outfits came to make fashion a more comfortable affair for ladies. Extremely casual from top to bottom, shift dresses were a strong and independent style statement back in 1960. Simplicity and vivaciousness are the two predominant essences that a shift dress imparts. While there are various shades and fresh prints available, women prefer sequined shift dresses for a prom or cocktail party.
