Question

Which is a major characteristic of Dior’s new look

Answer 1

Featuring rounded shoulders, a cinched waist, and very full skirt, the New Look celebrated ultra-femininity and opulence in women's fashion. After years of military and civilian uniforms, sartorial restrictions and shortages, Dior offered not merely a new look but a new outlook.

Answer 2

One of the main features of Dior’s new look was the wide skirts that reached almost to the ankles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1947, Christian Dior presented his first collection, named "New Look" by the editor of the American magazine "Harper's Bazaar", Carmel Snow. Unlike practical Chanel fashion, the "New Look" was basically composed of wide skirts almost to the ankles, well-defined waists and natural shoulders. It was the return of the feminine and elegant woman.

The model that became the symbol of the "New Look" was the "tailleur Bar", a jacket in beige silk with satin, natural shoulders and a wide pleated black skirt almost at the ankles. Gloves, high-heeled shoes and a hat completed the impeccable outfit. With this image of glamor, the 50's pattern was set.
