From Vogue, 1 February 1955- Complete success- the flared fit.
'Fit like this, followed by flare like this: a silhouette that's set for great success in 1955. There's a very American reason why: it makes for a smart change of pace from the new loose-cut jackets, the new blade slim lines, makes for variety, and that's one of the new secrets of a lively fashion life here- having more than one string to one's bow.
New look for the short-jacket suit- short only in the sense that it's not as long as many of the new long jackets (and therefore makes a nice change of pace from them. Grey tapestry worsted, fitted from the double collar to the scalloped edge, the skirt flaring gently in panel pleats. By Ben Zuckerman, about $225. For head to toe smartness, gilt Bobley jewellery, and Wear-Right gloves, a printed red faille cap from Sally Victor; black De Liso Debs pumps; stockings in pink-tinged beige-'Pink Sand' by Mary Grey.
