The more feminine style of Betty Draper is a wonderful example of period perfect costuming. Betty’s early style is a classic 1950’s housewife look – full skirts and a nipped in waist for day time and picnics with the family. Recreate this look with Vivien of Holloway’s stunning Halterneck Circle Dress in Victory Rose Cerise, a beautifully girly print and colour just ideal for emulating the style of the infamous Don Draper’s first wife.
