Description
Step back in time to the iconic 1950s silhouette, with its tightly fitted bodice and full skirt. This enduring style was first introduced by Christian Dior's New Look in 1947 and became synonymous with the decade by the mid-50s.
This practical book guides you through the styles and construction techniques used during this era, using easily obtainable equipment at home. Step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate how to achieve an authentic look, from fabric selection and cutting out to garment assembly using traditional techniques.
