<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 404942, member: 29&quot;]Bit different here from the US. The Board of Trade prohibited fashions with excess fabric such as New Look and it was considered unpatriotic, too. The wide skirt thing didn&#039;t really get traction in mass fashion until after 1950. Ma was an actress,so lucky enough to have designers make stuff for her. I&#039;ve a photo of her at my godfather&#039;s wedding in about 1950 wearing a very similar shape to that day dress, and it was a fairly new dress. If you google on our sewing patterns at the time you&#039;ll find plenty of examples. Or magazines for that matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
