So I got this very iconic dress style of dress in black but because I don't exactly have that body shape I'm unsure if I can really pull it off I mean I have a very small frame I'm 5 foot even and I don't really have boobs or a bum is it possible to pull off the 1950s look without the 1950s body?

Women have always had unique body styles. So yes you can pull off a 50's style dress :-). However, in that time era, a full circle skirt with more pleats ( or gathering) in the back of a dress can give the illusion of a bigger butt.

I agree with Jen C. If you want to enhance it a lil more for added confidence...a halter style push up/padded bra and platform open toe heels will give the illusion of more height to your frame. That dress is too gorgeous to let it sit in the closet so rock it girl!
