Christian Dior

The Bar jacket is the tailored piece that defined the New Look: a soft-shouldered jacket cut sharply into the waist and flared over the hip, worn with a full skirt falling below mid-calf. It reset postwar proportion by adding structure at the hip rather than at the shoulder. Its influence is the reason so much of the house's tailoring since has carried a defined waist and a rounded, extended line beneath it.

Sizing is French, so a French 38 corresponds roughly to a UK 10 or a US 6, though a fitted jacket cut with a drawn-in waist leaves far less ease than a straight shift in the same number. Tailoring is the place to size by measurement rather than by label, so compare the listed bust and waist against a jacket that already fits you. Shoulder width is the hardest thing to alter afterwards, so prioritise it.
