Paris, France.



Various shots of girls modelling summer dresses in outdoor surroundings in a wood, by a stream of water lilies. The dresses look very much like Christian Dior's New Look - very elegant and feminine, with very full skirts, or slim and draped. Some models wear large hats.



Evening gowns are modelled by women on a terrace and a huge flight of stone steps - looks like grounds of a country mansion. Some have enormous evening coats over them.



A woman in a spotted day dress lolls beside the river. She plucks a water lily from the river, sniffs it, then wonders what to do with it!



More elaborate evening gowns with enormous tulle skirts, some with high necks and long sleeves.
