<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 9553513, member: 5398&quot;]1950&#039;s dresses didn&#039;t have shoulder pads (maybe some rare exceptions). The 1940&#039;s square/broad-shoulder look went out of style with Dior&#039;s &quot;New Look,&quot; which was much more feminine with natural rounded shoulders.</p><p><br /></p><p>The portrait collar on this Lilli Ann dress extends almost to the shoulders giving it a very feminine look with emphasis on the neck/throat, not on the shoulders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit:&nbsp; The bra/slip strap loops with snaps indicate that the neck is wide enough for straps to show if not held in place. So if the collar could be steamed and straightened out a little, it would widen the neck area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
