TPHE "swing" technique persists in costume styling throughout the later showings of winter coat and dress collections. The fact that fullness full-ness has become an important factor fac-tor in the new silhouette is no barrier bar-rier to a slenderizing outcome. Thanks to the cunning craft and consummate art of modern designers design-ers the problem has been so victoriously vic-toriously met that whether you be sylphlike or more or less rotund in figure you will find that the smart, new fashions that are saying it with a "swing" are actually very flattering. flatter-ing. In the illustration three highly successful modes are shown each of which makes "swing" its theme. The long coat and dress ensemble of gray wool to the right in the group is typical of the trend to fitted silhouettes sil-houettes that take on fullness about the hemline. It is just such wool classics as this that are finding acceptance ac-ceptance with best dressed women. The flair for daytime dresses made of pastel wools (just the type to wear under your fur coat) done in the simplest possible fashion with fitted fit-ted waists and flaring skirts is a pleasing gesture which fashion is making. Centered in the picture is a frock of sage green wool featuring fitted slenderizing princess lines that adopt an interesting tuck technique. Here again a generously full hemline hem-line swings into sprightly grace. A chubby mouton bolero complemented complement-ed with a green feather-trimmed pill-box hat made of matching mouton sounds an ultra chic note. The exceedingly goodlooking tunic dress to the left in the picture demonstrates dem-onstrates what happens when a distinguished dis-tinguished designer such as Moly-neaux Moly-neaux of Paris takes the swing idea and multiplies it by two. This very pleasing dress with its double swing silhouette is of stiff black faille (a high fashion fabric this season). Its tunic and skirt zip up the front. A gold clip finishes its heart shaped neckline. Here is a grand example of a basic black dress that invites stunning jewelry ensembles or dashes of color which this season's accessories exploit. Speaking of the new fullness in skirts, a topic of utmost significance in current styles, the question has often been brought up as to its positioning, posi-tioning, whether it should be at the back or sides or brought to the front. The answer is no matter where the fullness, just so there is fullness somewhere. So far as the sports swagger coat is concerned the news is definitely that of back flares contrived con-trived via pleats or gores or circular cir-cular cut. Dress coats are made with fitted waists and skirts that often flare all-around. all-around. So widespread is the favor for flares even the newest fur coats are made with fitted waists and full skirts. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) |
