This 2 page article from the June 1964 edition of Bride and Home gave advice for the bride selecting dresses for her bridesmaids.

Bridesmaids, this season, are in luck. They can wear any style that becomes them so long as it’s long.

The article provides a treat for our 21st century eyes with these 4 illustrations of mid-century dresses each prettier than the next.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
