Greetings Ladies! I'm directing this column straight
to you because I believe the fashion picture is discussed
among more than anyone else these days, unless its the%de
signers themselves. Now that you have seen the fall fash
ion magazine, and having watched the street windowsj
I'm sure, being feminine creatures, you have chosen your
first fall outfit.
Let’s discuss in this little chit-chat exactly when to
wear it. Don’t get ahead of ftie now, I don’t mean the date,
I mean the time of day. For really ladies, that little issue is
most important.
Most women everywhere this season will be walking
the straight and narrow for that is the major fashion sil
houette. If you have chosen as your first ensemble a two
piece affair whose skirt is about mid-calf all around, you
were especially smart, because that little number may be
worn for daytime as well as after five.
If you have chosen such colors as black, sanka brown,
blue (from wedgewood to ink), gray (Licorice or bankers
shade), you’ve definitely practical. To all of these a dash
of color may be added for daytime. Your high key colors
done up in complete ensembles are the choice for late day,
important occasions.
“Although, the sheath speaks the high fashion talk,
the full skirt still remains fashion blessed. Full skirts are
frankly full and are found in abundance in casual stay at
homes and gala ball gowns. The newest evening hemline
is short in front with flowing fullness at back.”
Most career wome have to be especially careful as to
.what they wear and when, for we are criticized much
more than the housewife. Maybe its because as bread
winners like the male, we should know the ways of the
world which of a certainty include manner of dress. The
designers really must have had us in mind this seasofi, for
they have really made it an easy job for us to fashion
right from morn ’til night.
For example, they have brought to vogue those ultra
smart huge collars and fill in dickeys that we may wear to
the office, and like a flash, when removed are converted
into a clever dress for a dinner date. Ido hope tftat all
who fall under the category of career women take special
note of this type of dress for I’d hate to think there were
any who would prance into the office in one of those new
draped affairs, with back fullness, as well as the new
naked sandal shoe and chandelier earrings.
Goodness, what a faux pas! Remember, we[re sup
posed to have brain as well as beauty, so let’s show it off to
its best advantage, which means the proper setting.
As for you, dear housewife, we all love you and re
spect the fact that you have a million things to do, for the
home is twice the responsibility as the papers on the of
fice desk. On the other hand, there is no excuse for pot
keeping up with the fashion trend.
V‘ ■ #
Most of you, if you’ve been a housewife any length of
time have derived a system whereby you find time for a
bit of relaxation. Whether you do yours by brousing
through the stores on Monday mornings or meeting with
the girls at bridge, be sure your suit or dress is in keeping
with the occasion. “It’s a refined pared-down implicity that
becomes the American woman.”
It’s that added touch of your own choosing that
brings out your particular personality. So just be sure you
have taken time out to shorten the skirt of that old “new
look” for the newer one. Choose one of the new bright
colors for your wardrobe thi s season. It will make your
chores at home seem lighter.
Whether you’re career woman, housewife or college
girl, (who we will discuss at a later date) be sure that
whatever you wear any clime, be sure its at the right time.
