“ The pleats stitched down below the hips, then released like a fan.”  Harpers Bazaar , April 1947
From April 1947,  Harper’s Bazaar : “ [It] is the  essence of femininity . . .  fitted tightly to the body and buttoned from neck to  wasp waist . . . . Skirts are tremendously full, and from ten to twelve inches from the ground.  Yards and yards of material  swing and swirl because pleats are hand–pressed and flare to the hem.…  Inside the pleated skirts are  padded, stiffened yet perfectly comfortable , and wonderful for women with small waists, large hips.  In the house of Dior, French draping met its death—it was vanquished by pleats and under-padding. ”
Pauline Trigere, Diana Vreeland (editor of Vogue); and Nancy White (of  Harper’s Bazaar ) 1964.  Nancy White, 1956  Good Housekeeping
“ Although the clothes you see on  Good Housekeeping ’s pages are the kind that set you dreaming, the  dreams are the kind that can come true .  For with all their flattering distinction, these clothes are sold in many stores and at  prices retailers call ‘popular’—virtues not always found in clothes you see featured as fashion news .” -- Brooks, Christopher. “One year and 350,000 yards ago.”  Good Housekeeping , May 1948.

Dior, Spring 1951 (Keenan, 81)
“ The shirtwaist in flower, its natural up-to-the-minute aptness made suddenly more so by one of this spring’s miraculous botanical prints—sharp acid greens and yellow and the tart vermilion pinks that blaze this time of year in a hundred country gardens.”  (“Flowered Cotton”  Harpers Bazaar  , March 1955, 134).

“ Mrs. Square and Miss Hip”, Gernriche Resort 1967(Moffitt). “ [Rudi] Gernreich, the showman, surprised the audience at his October [1967] collection by showing a model wearing a  belted shirtwaist dress that covered her knees.   As if that weren’t shock enough, she wore a padded bra, nylon stockings, and spike-heeled pumps with bag and gloves to match.  Just as bewildered reporters and buyers started to gasp in amazement, out came Moffitt in  a thigh-high mini of the same print as the shirtwaist dress  and little-heeled shoes.”
c. 1960 (My great-grandmother) c. 1957-1960 (My grandmother) Early 1940s. (My grandmother and Aunt)

  • 9. From April 1947, Harper’s Bazaar : “ [It] is the essence of femininity . . . fitted tightly to the body and buttoned from neck to wasp waist . . . . Skirts are tremendously full, and from ten to twelve inches from the ground. Yards and yards of material swing and swirl because pleats are hand–pressed and flare to the hem.… Inside the pleated skirts are padded, stiffened yet perfectly comfortable , and wonderful for women with small waists, large hips. In the house of Dior, French draping met its death—it was vanquished by pleats and under-padding. ”

As if that weren’t shock enough, she wore a padded bra, nylon stockings, and spike-heeled pumps with bag and gloves to match. Just as bewildered reporters and buyers started to gasp in amazement, out came Moffitt in a thigh-high mini of the same print as the shirtwaist dress and little-heeled shoes.”
