After the war ended, women returned to their role as housewife and mother, and with that they went back to dresses and skirts. The 50’s was subsequently hyperfeminine with clothing made to accentuate a women’s hips and bust with tight waisted dresses, and curved jackets. However there were still pockets of women breaking free from the trends. For example, there was a group of women in London called Teddy Girls who rejected the traditional notions of femininity, dressing in jackets, rolled up jeans and flat shoes.
