While most of us grew up with supermarkets and shopping malls already existing; some of us remember the family-run grocery stores where your options were often limited. Others might even have had the chance to grow their own food, but once general stores grew bigger and became more convenient, there was no way back. Still, the consumerist lifestyle as we know it didn't happen overnight, and we got where we are now gradually.

About a month ago I wrote a post about my favorite fashions by Fath from 1950, so now I am sharing my favorite Dior designs from that same year. It was harder for me to find 10 favorite Dior designs than I though it would be. I guess 1950 isn't my favorite year for Dior. I am constantly adding pictures to my files, and have many on Pinterest by Dior that I haven't gotten around to transferring over to my computer. I am sure I will find more Dior creations from 1950 later. I am already regretting that I didn't start posting about my designer favorites in 1947 when Dior launched "The New Look", but I will do that later. So in no particular order, here they are. I would love to make all of these outfits for Gene. The velvet gold coat over the slim black skirt is great. Here is another stunning coat over a slim skirt. Love the color. I really appreciate seeing the fashions in colored photos because if I hadn't seen the first photo of this coat, I would have assumed that it was grey and not that lovely melon color. I want to try making my own lace fabric by sewing lace trim on fabric. It looks like I would need 2-3 different widths of the same style of lace to make this dress. I doubt I would make more than a couple of these. Love everything about this dress; the fabric, the over dress, the underskirt, etc. Two more photos of this lovely dress I have a thing for full skirts over slim underskirts and brocade, so this is a winner in my book. I also love the bodice darts. Big dramatic collars rock! Beautiful! I tried to make this dress for Gene years ago, it was a fail. But now that I have seen the back of the dress, I may attempt it again someday. I love suits with trim. I saved my favorite for last, love this low neckline with the white pleated blouse underneath.
