Jacques Fath, 1956

[Circa Vintage Clothing]

Just found this great video with Jacques Fath fashions in 1956 - and it's in colour too!

Fath died in 1954 so these gowns were probably designed by his wife Genevieve.

Wow oh Wow!

I do wish it was still de rigueur to wear hats every day.

Lovely! I have a vintage jacket that's as sharply cut as the first two jackets in the clip - I just love what it does to my figure :duh:.

Oh, I know I sold a Vogue Fath pattern for the first suit, but I can't find it in my pic files...I hope I haven't deleted it.

How small is that last model's waist?! My leg is as big as her waist! Like the floral number at 1.10
