TARTAN FASHION - XXX
 |  |
|---|
See below for a collection of vintage images showing the influence of Scottish tartan patterns on the fashionable set in this period.
​
Christian Dior's "New Look" of 1947 continued to influence the fashions of the 1950s. Unpadded, rounded shoulders, shapely bust lines, closely-defined waistlines, and fully, billowy skirts defined the new, more feminine wardrobe. Blouses, jeans, and long, narrow skirts were also quite popular.
​
The success of the MGM 1954 film Brigadoon generated an interest in tartan and plaid patterns in dresses and leisure wear.
