Spring fashion prints and waistlines rise in 1950 trends
Amarillo shops display wide silk rayon and nylon print options for spring. Small repeats dominate, favored for full skirts and slim jackets. Navy remains top color with varicolored designs, while pastels gain in July heat. A Sue Brett halter dress in printed taffeta shows rose, chartreuse, teal, rhinestones, and pleated skirt. Waistlines stay at natural waist for now. Cocoa brown emerges as a new hit color. An affordable dress with pink chartreuse orchid print, winged collar, three quarter sleeves, and a tiered apron back forms a bustle.
