| I love this Dior gown (1953) and the fur stole completes the look of glamour. | | | | | | | | | | |

| More elegance in brown :: 1948 Vogue (by John Rawlings) |
There is so much more to a vintage couture gown than good looks. The feel of wearing a soft chiffon draped gown or the rustling of a taffeta skirt is luxurious. The brown taffeta full skirt reminds me of a cocktail length taffeta full skirt I have (a'la Liptons - to you remember that store). The skirt has a drop yoke waist, box pleats and the skirt base floats just above the ankle in the front and drops slightly lower in the back. I always felt like waltzing when I wore it.

| Dior 1952 :: Wrapped in soft and feminine. |
 |
| Jacques Fath 1953 :: Simplicity. Wonderfully the courtyards in Paris still look the same today. This is a beautiful setting for a gorgeous gown. | | |

| Jacques Fath (1948) :: the floaty ruffles are complimented by the delicate seed beaded bodice. |
 |
| Jean Patou 1955 :: The dropped yoke waist is so complimentary to a ladies waistline. |

| The simplicity of this style, even her hairstyle, is timeless. |
