The Long, Smooth Look - Butterick Patterns 1955

"Remember the first appearance of the long, smooth look? It seems like just yesterday - and it was! Recall how you admired the newly slendered silhouette and longed to look like the magazine picture. But, of course, the clothes you saw were just a little to chi-chi, a trifle too extreme for your modern busy life.
And then...as if the fashion world could read your mind...the long, smooth, wonderful look was adjusted to your needs (numerous as they might be!).
Now...in new surroundings...here it is! It's lost none of the desirable shapeliness but has acquired a marvelous composure that meets any situation with unique confidence."
