Cute Young Curly Blonde Girl Undresses Her Grey Layered Strapless Dress On The Couch

History
• 1930s to 1980s
According to Richard Martin and Harold Koda, the modern strapless dress first appeared in the 1930s, where it was popularised by designers such as Mainbocher, and, from the late 1940s, Christian Dior. On 18 July 1938, Life claimed that the 'absolutely strapless, sleeveless evening dress' was a 1937/38 invention. However, the actress Libby Holman had been photographed in an apparently strapless dress in 1932, predating this by several years. Holman became associated with the strapless dress, and is regularly credited with inventing it, or at least being one of its first high profile wearers. A couple of years after, in 1934, Mainbocher produced his first strapless gown, a black satin design which has been described as the first strapless evening dress. Along with Holman and Mainbocher, the heiress Brenda Frazier is also credited with popularising the style when she wore a strapless débutante dress for her debut, and famously appeared in it on the November 14th 1938 cover of Life.
