Sweethearts

Sweethearts

Fashion Synopsis

Sweethearts were more stylish than the Peggy Sues, dating college boys and proudly wearing fraternity pins. Their clothes were versions of their entertaining mothers’ wardrobe: nipped waist dresses with full skirts and crinolines, low stiletto heels with matching handbags and gloves, and perfectly coifed hair. These debutantes were looking for the good life, and snagging a good man was the surest way to have the American dream.
