Would I fit into my grandmothers dress?

Last night I started to think about the history of fashion. I am 

not a big fashion follower but sometimes I am curious about the latest fashion trends. I will take a look  into fashion history. And I think that good way doing this is looking throughout  magazines. So I found the first fashion magazine ever- Mercure Galant. It was found by the writer Jean Donneau de Vise in 1672 at France. The magazine featured daily news, humour, songs and fashion reviews. 

The first magazine cover. 

 Women dresses are quiet nice, elegant and simple. 

After 16 years, at 1693, the first specialised magazine for woman appeared in London. It was called ''Ladies  mercury''. 

So at the early 18th century Europe started publishing more magazines. ''Journal des Luxus un des Moden'' 1786-1827 published by Germans. It is one of the magazines which provided a lot fashion news,latest clothing trends and etc.

Hats were very fashionable at that time. 

Further on, British magazines "The Lady's Magazine" and "Gallery of Fashion" appeared in 1770. These mags were popular because they wrote not only about fashion but also included short stories, poems and all sort of advices. 

I think that  will be enough about very past fashion, cause my main goal is to speak about 20th century fashion.

This blog's title is 'Would I fit into my grandmothers dress?', so I am considered about the time of world war 2 till 1970s. 

Even though the world experienced the second world war, the fashion was still important. 

1940s

At this time ladies skirts were straight and blouses simple.

Well, swimsuits are a bit weird for me.But body shapes looks really nice. 

This handbag and shoes look gorgeous!

What about 1950s?

 1950s fashions emphasized  femininity. 

Small hats with a veil or feather and long-pencil skirts.

I think now we have same type of shoes as  in 1950s.

Cute polka dot swimwear.

1950s clothing looks really trendy. Lets take a look at 1960s.

High waisted short shorts.

Small leather handbags.

3/4 length sleeves coat and a lovely sleeveless pencil dress with polka dots.

And here some examples of 1970s.

Floral and bright colour dresses. 

Those kind of coats look very similar from what we do wear now.

So my question was 'would I fit into my grandmothers dress'? I think I would. Throughout all looks I put up here,  many of them look really nice and I think I could wear them now.  

Here is some 60s and 70s inspired fashion trends.
