Moire Bubble Dress - 80's Christian Lacroix
The bubble skirt or dress is something many of us associate with the 1980's. The dress was seen over and over in mini and midi lengths as well as skirts of the decade.
The bubble dress, however originated in the late 1950's. This was a popular silhouette in 1957/58.

Many designers in the 1980's drew inspiration from the 1950's with many shapes and details of the time.
It was interesting to compare 2 sewing patters from exactly 30 years apart. The 80's lost their straps but the bubbles were still as beautiful as the 1950's.
