Vintage Teen Girls
The ancient writer of Ecclesiastes, said, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.”
This certainly seems to be true when it comes to fashion trends.
Consider any fashionable item, whether it be a garment, a hairstyle or a piece of jewelry, and you’ll find another time era or culture where it was considered fashionable. Take, for example, these photos of teenage girls from the 1950s.
‘Teenagers’ didn’t exist until 1950 – girls were girls and young men were youths. As the post-war economy bounced back into shape, a consumer boom was kick-started in the U.S. Initially pushed as a new market grouping, teenagers soon came to dominate emerging fashion styles.
The mini skirt: a symbol of rebellious youth culture. Ultra short hemlines started trending in the late 1950s and saw their heyday in modern fashion the ’60s. But they were showcased in the 1920s by daring flapper girls.
Crinoline and net petticoats worn to give shape to ladies skirts, popular across Europe in varying degrees of extremes throughout the 1700s, made a comeback during the 1950s.
Although she may be flashing a little ankle, this girl’s tight bodice-style dress with its voluminous bell-shaped skirt is similar to early Victorian fashion.
The tunic dress – here worn with a belt – was introduced to the catwalk in the ’50s by Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga.
Every girl wants to be a ballerina!

It was a decade of full skirts, natural waists (corsets had been popular before) and semi-formal suits similar to those worn by modern business women. While the broad outpouring of flashy and controversial styles of the 1970s would break many of the norms of the 20th Century, many of the styles which were popular in the 1950s remain fashionable today.
But the women’s fashion movement of the 1950s actually started in the prior decade. During, and because of, World War II, women’s choices in clothing were limited by the need to ration supplies like fabrics, threads, and needles. The most popular women’s outfits were simple and uniform as a result of the entire country making sacrifices to supplies the war efforts overseas.
The classy cinched waist silhouette of Dior’s New Look – reminiscent of mid-19th century styles – has influenced fashion ever since.

Where would we be without the cardigan?
This was the era when synthetic fabrics such as rayon, taffeta, and nylon were starting to emerge.
This simple blouse and midi skirt would not look out of place on the highstreet today.
But as the war ended, an explosion of fabrics came roaring back in broad varieties and in copious quantities. Women enjoyed pleats, petticoats, stylish collars and clothes made of nylon, wool, rayon, and taffeta.
This was also the beginning of a huge economic boom, which further encouraged the manufacturing and marketing of stylish new clothing and apparel the likes of which women hadn’t enjoyed during the previous decade.
The bland, uniform styles of the 1940s were replaced with outfits that featured closely-fitted waistlines, puffy skirts, blue jeans, long and narrow dresses, rounded shoulders and shapely bustlines. Women once again had a way to showcase their individual taste and personality through the various choices of clothing available to them.
Tight perms? Yes, they did feature again in the late 70s and early 80s – for both men and women – before morphing into the crazy variety of 1980s statement hairstyles!
A stylish slip dress is a wardrobe essential for every girl – then and now.

Strike a pose! Movie and music stars became the icons of the new ‘teenagers.’
Prom dresses tend to look a little different these days, but variations on the 1950s theme are still a popular choice.
This new explosion of fashion variety had started in 1947 with the famous “New Look” of Christian Dior. While women would eventually embrace the style, it didn’t go over well in the beginning.
Women who had grown used to working outside the house were not ready to go back to being mothers and housewives.
They considered the “New Look,” too extravagant and too much work to make all the pieces of an outfit come together just right. But in time, having survived the hardship and sacrifice of war, the booming prosperity won them over, the women of the 1950s fully embraced the consumerism which would define the rest of the 20th Century.

These rare and beautiful vintage photos of Native American girls were taken between the late 1800s and the turn of the 19th Century, yet despite being over a hundred years old, many of the old photos are still in mint condition.
Women were well respected in traditional Native American tribe culture, and although they generally had different roles from men, the Native American women often had the same rights as their male counterparts. They usually owned the home along with everything in it, and in some tribes, while the chief was a man, it was the women who were responsible for electing him. Because women's activities were considered central to the welfare of the community in the Native American history, this gave them a certain level of social, political and economic power, and even today approximately 25% of Native American tribes recognized by the federal government of the United States are led by women.
Scroll down below to check these beautiful old photos for yourself! (h/t: vintage everyday )

This is one of my favorite photos in this lineup. It's great to see a really old photo with a smile, let alone one showing teeth! I was told that because shutter speeds were slower in the early days of photography that photographers required their subjects to stand still for long periods of time to expose the image to the film negative, hence so many photos from the 1800's to 1900's without smiles in them!
her name is Pretty Flower , my daughter could have been her twin
Her pipe bone breastplate and bone earrings are awesome. Young girls usually didn't wear things so elaborate. Maybe she was the daughter of someone important.
Must be the inspiration for Princess Leia from Star Wars
I like her "I could be up to something" grin!
This is the same girl on the left in #15, though she doesn't look the same. In #15, pen has been added which ruined it. I'd never have known it's the same girl except clothing, footwear, belt and jewelry are all the same along with hair. She's beautiful here.
These old photos capture the moment and the beauty
I visited that Pueblo; their sacred places were in the mountains behind the Pueblo.
This was the tribal hairstyle for women was the elaborate squash blossom or butterfly whorls worn by Hopi maidens
Interesting that even though she was in Buffalo Bill's side shows, there isn't really much written about her.
Prisoner of war... there was no war, just invasion and extermination.
This is not the same girl as #6 Hattie Tom. Eyes are all wrong.
I wonder how and why she has the American flag on her lap or dress??
She appears to be "with child" but she also appears SO YOUNG!!
I found it interesting that her name was Nelson
Aw, she's sweet looking but so sad.
Such beautiful clothing! I was born at Ft. Sill in the 60s and when a girl all I wanted was moccasins and native clothing. It was all just so beautiful! Of course, tie dye was good too.
It is interesting how back in the day they would only color in one or two items of a photo
Yankton is in South Dakota, which is Sioux country
These photos are amazing and belong in a museum.

and then we raped them, killed their families to stole their lands
Me neither or no one I know guilt only lasts so many centuries give it up
As they did to other tribes. Grow the f**k up and quit being a f*****g pussy
and don't forget about parking them into reserves like animals.
Why did you do that, Guimar???
And can you please provide evidence that your entire ancestral line has owned the ground they lived on and didn't take it from anyone back to the dawn of time?
Yes, it was so sad. But it was the Congress of the time that ordered the soliders to steal their land. The raping of women and girl,the killing of men were added extras by those soliders. Our government should be 200% ASHAMED OF ITSELF!!
The "noble warriors" did their fair share of killing, raping and enslaving too before whites ever arrived.
and here i am, wondering what shampoo/conditioner they are using
Native American is not the right term to use as these people are not Americans historically. The should be called the Rightful Inhabitants.
In Canada, they're called First Nation people. Talking to a husband and wife, not quite sure how I should refer to them, he laughed and said it didn't matter to them. Not all feel the same though.
Yes, true Jude, however in French, we call the "Natives" Autochtons as Israel Garcia mentions below for Mexico.... of which may of us French Canadians have their DNA.
In Mexico some of us prefer using the word which translated to english would be something like "autochthon" to refer those people who first inhabited these territories.
Shalom Israel .. I am French Canadian ... From the Province of New Brunswick. Just a little history here... I had my DNA done 12 yrs ago (Family Tree) and in my bank of relatives, ALL were Latinos. How can this be when my people did not travel in those days? Well, we came here via Southern France, while you were brought to "The Americas' by Christopher Columbus...directly from Spain.
It all happened during the SPANISH INQUISITION. Who are we?
We are Jews my friend. From Jerusalem we left at destruction of the Temple (70AD)
This is our real identity Israel. I have done extensive research which I could help you with.
Although many from the US thinks of our country as "America," "America" actually refers to the entire continent. Used correctly, it is not so much a cultural word as a geographic word. We would do well to remember this in our conversations. Assuming that people will know what we're talking about--especially those not from the US--assumes that the US is the best, most natural representation for an entire continent of countries and peoples, none of which is fair or true.
I have heard about this issue many times. I use to think that calling it America might be just a short form of the whole name "United States of America". I live en México and the whole and official name of the country is Estados Unidos Mexicanos (something like United States of Mexico or Mexican United States), but only in few ocassions we use it that form as we prefer to name it only Mexico.
The land they lived on is now called the Americas.
They were native to that land.
Thus, they are Native Americans.
Get over it.
Just because it's written in a book or on a document, doesn't make it the Truth. These are the True American people. Our race came over on ship. Welcomed them to Dinner and then the Greed took over and then the killing. Nearly Exterminated an Entire Race of Real American people
The more correct archaeological term is "indigenous people". Also called aboriginal people. YMMV
What's the right name to be addressed?
They are native to the North American Continent, so they are Native Americans. They are more American than we are.
They are native to the North American continent, hence they are Native Americans. They are more American than we are.
They should just be called Americans. And everyone else Invasive Americans.
and then we raped them, killed their families to stole their lands
Me neither or no one I know guilt only lasts so many centuries give it up
As they did to other tribes. Grow the f**k up and quit being a f*****g pussy
and don't forget about parking them into reserves like animals.
