New Long Torso Silhouette Replaces Wasp Waist This Spring
Fashion editor Adelaide Rear Up notes spring styles feature a long torso silhouette replacing the wasp waist of the 1939 era. New girdles and corsets from Mainhocher and Schiparelli emphasize a smooth curve from under the arm to the hip, with lightweight boning and back lacing, plus elastic hip sections and front slide fastenings. Lingerie and jackets echo the long torso line, with fitted coats, vertical pockets, and draped or tailored frocks designed to flatter a slim waist and long legs.
