Model Holding up Her Dress to Reveal Petticoat

(Original Caption) Following the Dior "I" Line, Jean Desses keeps his models slender and tailored by day and breaks into frills and daring decolletage after dark--thus telling the Paris story for Spring 1955. The tailored, collarless suit at left, done in an oatmeal tweed, has a stiffened cape effect across the shoulders of a double-breasted, semi skirted grey organza gown whose low cut bodice bares the shoulders and back. Deep red velvet roses are tucked into the folds across the bosom.
