1948 Fashion Trends - in \'True Confessions\'
Testing my new scanner I copied this from a “True Confessions” magazine for Jan. 1948.
Here are some of the guidelines for dresses that year -
About shoulder pads - “Gone the chunky stuffing that made you look like a football player.”
“Hips are rounded - They’re yours without apologies. You’ll find them accented by big pockets, by every kind of draping, by the slightly padded bell shaped skirts. Waist corsets will help mold them.”
“Ankles are important - The focal point of many fashion highlights. Longer skirts covering more of the leg point up a trim ankle.”
