| Description | Maggy Rouff Spring Fashion Show 1948 |
| Details |
A white organdie evening gown with large white polka dots. The slender waistline was accentuated by the fullness of the skirt. In 1947 Christian Dior created a sensational collection labelled the 'New Look.' His designs centred around gowns with an 18-inch waist, which focused attention on the bust and hips. Madame Maggy Besancon de Wagner, like many designers took inspiration from Dior's collection. Her 1948 Spring fashion show, followed the 18-inch waist and full hips style.
