Material in the 1950s

" Velvet was popular with tops, suits, dresses, and fitted jackets.  It was often combined with tulle and stiff cotton lace.  Transparent material in pretty shades such as organdies and chiffon was in too.

Advances in aniline dyes meant colours were bright and varied and prints were busy. "
