In the 1950s, children generally wore conservative, clean-cut clothes. Cotton, corduroy, denim and flannel were popular fabrics, and plaid and gingham patterns were widely seen. Typical clothing for girls in the 1950s consisted of cotton dresses adorned with ruffles and collars.

Teen girls in the 1950s often wore petticoats under gathered skirts with cardigan sweaters. It was common to wear cardigans backwards so the buttons were not visible from the front. They wore bobby socks and saddle shoes or, for the more grownup teens, stockings and modest low heels.

Girls wore pedal pushers, sweaters and scarves. Many also wore saddle shoes and poodle skirts. Girls pulled their hair back into a long ponytail adorned with fancy clips. As the 1950s progressed, some teen boys began greasing back their hair and wearing leather jackets.

Flaky’s Side Despite her deeply ingrained fear of Fliqpy, in early episodes, Flaky seems to see Flippy as a friend.
