Described back then as an “afternoon dress” for a “dance party,” the figure-hugging, ’50s-style “Sophia” midi dress—with its flared skirt and side pockets—still flatters the curves of the woman wearing it today. An attached belt accentuates the waist, while the floral print lends this cocktail dress a feminine touch. This style appeared on the cover of the Spring/Summer 1957 fashion special issue—a true retro favorite for special occasions!
