I remember 1958 blue as being almost a "powder" blue with lavender
highlights when seen at an angle. Quite a lovely subtle color. And the
fabric turned bright pink when ironed, and cooled to its original blue.

My 1958 prom dress was very simple. White floor length, netting over
satin full skirt with a strapless top of satin with the netting in
tiny vertical folds covering it.
I hadn't thought of it in years.
