Vintage prom dresses from the 50s &60s..the golden age!

Whatever your thoughts on Prom, you can't argue that the 1950s and early 1960s was the era when Prom as we know it was truly defined. A more romantic, glamorous and innocent time, filled with frothy tulle, taffeta and chiffon gowns, and teenagers across the land smooching and slow dancing the night away to the latest sounds from Elvis, The Shirelles & The Beach Boys, before returning home, virginity intact...(perhaps).
