The Sack Dress of The 50's

Here is a style that both men and women hope will never resurface.

Balenciaga, the Spanish Couturier, designed this dress in 1957. He reinterpreted the female shape and eliminated the waist, creating entirely new silhouettes for the fashion industry.

I may be off track here, and some of you might think this should return. Many Hollywood stars wore this design.

When was the last time you looked at the most beautiful, popular girl in school—the one who always looks stylish and put together—and said to yourself, "Gee, she'd look great in a potato sack?"

This gentleman seems to be less impressed with the look. Hahaha

What about you? Would you allow fashion to dictate the Sack dress to you? I would love to hear your opinions.
