The latest fashion trends for April 1948, presented by Vrouw en Huis ( Woman and Home ), a Belgian lifestyle magazine:
"Small waiste, large hips and long skirts are essential if you want to dress in style in 1948. Seen in every Parisian Fashion Maison is the Kimino sleeve, a must have for this season" :
"The collars are high and elaborated, but ladies please don't wear these things to work. The office is a place for business not for fashion shows! They are appropriate for Sundays, holidays and special occasions such as birthday parties or an evening out".
And a real lady doesn't go out without her hat!

What fun! I'd like the polka dot coat, please.
Those puffed sleeves are great, looks a lot like a jersey I recently saw at the Gap!
The top blouse looks very modern! .. fashion is sooooo repetitive though!
I like the polka dot coat too! Fashion is repetitive,you're right! Even back then...the reporter for these fashion trends even mentions it ( she calls the prints oldfashioned :-p! )Poiret and Lanvin already did the kimino sleeve accent nearly 30 years earlier ... but looking at funny fashion pictures never gets boring!!
Lovely photos and lovely magazine... I had some old fashion magazines from the 60's, but some years ago my mother throw them away... a great pity... I loved to flip through their pages from time to time to discover the ancient fashion mood!
its funny how some fashion recycles back to our modern times! very cool... however I dont think my spandex fake whitewash jeans from the 80s will come back. and im thankful ;)
Nice post. It reminded me of I Love Lucy! (my favorite show!) I love that kimono style jackets!
Ha! Thanks for sharing, this is fun :)
Soooo great taste. Vintage magazines are always fun.
All the best!
Aaah, I want to move to the past!
oooh, i love that polka dot coat. beautiful post.
I've read/seen about fashion cycles previously. Are we always revamping fashions of 60 years ago? I think it's not that simple.
The top picture does look like some of the fashions currently in shops/stores!
This is a nice blog. I like it!
We should have a great day today.
Oooh, I would love to look through that magazine.
