This fall the fancy of a school-faring maiden turns to clothes that are neat and flattering with the look of a thoroughbred about them. No freakish fads for the autumn 1945 campus crowd! The college girl, the school girl, the career girl and the teen-age group who know their fashions have become definitely cotton-conscious these days. The new "rave" is the elegant looking velveteens in black and adorable colors, also the very handsome corduroys that are being made up into coats and suits. There's a new wide - wale cotton plush, too, that is setting a new high ' in sophisticated cottons. No doubt the girl going away to school will start her first semester with a few cotton casuals, for it's smart to wear cotton washables. She will be glad she took a chic gingham frock and perhaps a flattering fresh chambray, the sort that looks just right during early warm autumn days under a color-lovely cardigan. There will be dark cotton dirndls in her trunk too, some banded in gay Latin colors; also a very special spe-cial one with inset border of white eyelet to be worn with her dainty batiste drop-shoulder blouse. A raft of sturdy campus cottons should be taken along. In the news were pedal-pushers of pin-wale corduroy cor-duroy that's tough and washable. The girls say they are less cumbersome cumber-some than slacks because of their mid-calf length. Choosing mix-and-match jackets, skirts, pajamas and pedal pushers is great fun. The short boxy flare-back jacket with Chinese collar is a winner, as is also the new lumberjacket that ties with drawstring waist. When it comes to "date" duds here's where luxury cottons are making mak-ing a great splurge. A brilliant future fu-ture is predicted for suits and coats made of rich-looking wide-wale cotton cot-ton plush. An intriguing style story is told for the 1945 college girl or the younger seminary daughter by Emily Wilkens in the brown wide-wale wide-wale cotton plush suit as shown centered cen-tered in the illustration. High neck, broad shoulders, and the tiny waist .give a high-style slant on present-day present-day .trends. The shoulderline, extending ex-tending in a winglike effect, adds width and accents the small waist line by way of contrast. The t tiny visor cap matches. This suit will certainly "go places" this fall. Because the much-beloved velveteen velvet-een can be had only in dibs and dabs this year (which is why one should buy early) designers are ingeniously in-geniously working it into dresses using us-ing bright wools for contrast. In the junior "date" dress, shown to the left, cotton plays duet with wool in most charming fashion. The ' shoulder yoke and wide hem are of black velveteen. The rest of the bodice and skirt are violet wool. Red wool binds sleeves and waistline, also outlines the velveteen all around. Here's a type dress that will make "a picture" at college teas and informal dances. Pale gold and bottle green prove a flattering color combination in wool and cotton for the dress shown to the right below. Green corduroy forms a corselet waist front and full skirt, while gold wool is used for sleeves and bodice top. Rectangular Rectangu-lar shaped silver nailhcads trim the shoulder yoke and sleeve cuffs. Note the clever touch of wool ties. Released by Western Newspaper Union. |
