In my novel Circus in a Shot Glass (to be released later this year from Clean Reads), the protagonist (Scotch) loves ’50s style clothing.
The dress on the left (yes, I realize the proportions are totally off) is based on one of Rosemary Clooney’s dresses in the film White Christmas. It’s black, has a sweetheart neckline with off-the-shoulder straps, and a mermaid hemline. My character Scotch wears the dress at point during the novel–a rather quirky scene, imo.
The second dress is one I’d imagine Scotch wearing around The Antique Boutique, the shop where she works and lives in. It would be a deep green, complementing her auburn hair nicely 😉
Like Scotch, the 1950s is my favorite period for women’s clothing. It’s fun, bringing a piece of myself into what I put on paper.

What about you? What’s your favorite period for fashion?

lol . . . I recognized that dress. (Of course, I just watched “White Christmas” again a few weeks ago.)

Yes. (Especially the two guys’ costumes when they lip-sync the “Sisters” song. Hilarious.)

Best. Scene. EVER! I guess Bing didn’t want to go through with it, so Danny got him to laugh for real by hitting him in the breadbasket with the fan.

I read somewhere that that’s exactly what happened. Part of what makes the scene great is that, at least by the end, they seem to be having so much fun.
