Paris reports Christian Dior abandons the A line for a busty Y shape with cinched waists and sweeping bouffant skirts for evening wear. After-dark styles shift to dome-like petticoats, wide V necklines, and shoulder emphasis as Dior introduces late 1950s dramatic silhouettes. New York notes bright plaid blankets return in fashion with dresses hats and tote bags, Tina Leser and Sally Victor expanding blanket looks. Blanket accessories gain momentum in red, yellow, black plaids, with lightweight cashmere fabrics for dresses and bags.
