1948 McCall's New Look dress pattern

It is easy to see the beginnings of New Look styling in this 1948 pattern by McCall's. The skirts are fuller, and the focus is on the nipped waist. This is especially noticeable on the dress with the diagonal stripes emphasizing the hourglass shape. This is such a simple pattern, but the results are WOW!
