Fun facts
Pencil dresses look like they would be hard to walk in but, it is not because there are slits in the dress. Another fun fact, is that a lot of the food was only 30 cents for certain items. Bellbottoms were not as popular as soon as blue jeans came out. One of the records in the 1950, was for the most shoes made in one year which was 576 million. In the 50's there hair styles were funny looking and also had a lot of hairspray.
