Christian Dior | ‘Mexico’ | c. 1954⠀
——⠀
The Mexico dress was conceived as part of Dior‘s H-line in 1954. The H-line was compromised of pieces that had equal shoulder and hip width and a slightly cinched line at the waist, looking like a capital “H”. This was meant to feminize the shape (to the ideals of the time) and lengthen the leg. @jadejolie said it best “Them shoulders should match them hips…”⠀
