Little girls get new grown-up look' in styles for Autumn '69 Pulled -togetherness most defines the look and feel of all manner of fashions for little girls this fall. What the young girl wears is often patterned after Mother's silhouette, but every so often the sheer practicality, practical-ity, charm and agelessness of the little miss styles heralds a trend for her big sister. Whether for school, playtime play-time or dress-up, a girl is neatly put together and trim. Her clothes emphasize the layered look, which is at once functional and newly interesting. inter-esting. Multi-uniting is to be seen everywhere. It is the up-to-the-minute way of teaming separates. At its simplest, it's pants which are straighter than they were last season and a dress. More intricately, it might be a turtlenecked jumpsuit with a wrap skirt or culottes over it and a full length knit vest over that, with a jacket topping it all. On the fashion horizon it is still the shirtdress that looms as her favorite. More and more this is cut closer to the body. It is gently shaped for a softer look and more comfortable fit. Pleats are one of the marks of her fashion statement. They are seen frequently and in quite a variety: flipped all around, knifed, boxed, or as inverted kickers. For party wear the young lass foregoes pleats for gentle gen-tle flounces and modified, dirndl-y effects. Long and lean is the look of a girl's knits, which take a ribbing at the most unlikely un-likely places, such as the waistline, or yoke. In the knit group, sweater dresses create a stir. They boast such separates -look illusions as set-in dickeys and sleeves which are of entirely en-tirely different fabrics. Heading the style parade in fabric innovations is a corduroy with no wale at all. This has the plush hand and supple look of velvet, with the advantage of long wear and washability. Pretty is as pretty does, and the littlest fashion plate is sure to be portrait-pretty and toasty-warm in a coat of broadcloth, fleece, melton or any of the fabrics that simulate fur. "Fabulous fake" fabrics are more popular than ever and they are quite striking in their imitation of everything from cheetah to beaver, crushed lamb and opossum. Genuine fur is peaking to a new lavishness. Coats boast fur hemlines and cuffs almost al-most as frequently as they feature fur collars. Colors this season tend to be softer and richer. This is especially true of plaids and argyles in new combinations. Several shades of green can be found, particularly in forest or hunter tones. Red is again excellent but it is darker and deeper in its gamut. All types of browns and many blues bid for favor with little girls. |
