long hair in a snood is very 50's, as is the half french braid with a tail in the back - from memory i think 50's suits had narrow lapels and stovepipe trousers with a narrow tie, or is that 60's? google early Frank Sinatra, he was a sharp dresser, as was Fred Astaire. i've been looking for vintage wedding dresses on ebay (i'm actually doing "Op Shop Ball" for mine, with the boys in kilts!) and found some really nice stuff when you search for "rockabilly" and "wiggle dress"
bow tie for afternoon, cravat for evening, and glamour all the way!
