The 20th dress in my advent calendar is this gorgeously romantic and frilly pink ball gown worn by a fashionable young lady in the late 1850s. (Although I think this dress is super pretty - I reckon this would be a hard look to pull off without looking completely ridiculous.)

6. A cartoon character who debuted in the 1950s.

"No doubt about it, I gotta get another hat."
