The year
was 1955. New laws required seatbelts in automobiles,
the average
American worker made $3851.00 per year (with the minimum
wage increased
to $1.00 per hour), Coca Cola first appeared in cans,
Disneyland opens its fantasyland gates, the
first McDonalds opens and
Marian Anderson performs at the Met.
In the wings, an up
and coming known musician from Mississippi named Elvis Presley
was
poised to make history. Gasoline was 23 cents
a gallon and the cars reflected that with 454 cui. engines and
Jersey Torches. It was
the height of the consumer boom and Americans were riding the
wave. It was a time of optimism, with change hovering in the
wings just out of sight to the average American.
The
fashionable miss in 1955 could go out for a spring
jaunt in this snappy
little combo of stylish sheath dress and coordinating coat.
This
ensemble is styled from an actual 1955 fashion plate and is
historically
acurate.
