It's all In how you look at !
fashion, says SIDNEY BLAU*
NER, whose firm makes the
Susy Perette dresses.
“While fashion editors and
•tore people are looking for
excitement and news, we
manufacturers have to be look
ing for that plus idea which
will sell to the average wom
an. We know her well enough
to know that she won’t wear a
scare headline, no matter how
much it is talked about. But 1
she does want the newest
thing, wants it fast, and she
wants it becoming.”
The manufacturers seem to
feel that the current collec- !
tions in Europe prove news
worthy to them on many a
score. Blauner feel Dior’s Y
line with a stem slim skirt be
low a triangular bodice, the
widened shoulder line. Chinese
Influences in dresses that are
straight, ultra-simple in ele
gant materials, and the high
bosomed slim dress with a belt
or bow poised just under the *
bustline will prove popular.

talnly feature. It will mean
a new kind of daytime dress:
a one-piece garment which
will be given the appearance
of a suit by a simulated bolero
I which forms the bodice line.
New, this manufacturer feels,
this season is the back button
ing to the jackets of ensembles. ;
Just how we will follow this
trend, says Mr. Arkin, is a
problem since even the models j

j to get them undone.
“But this is our job. to take
those difficult details and
modify them into something
we know will appeal and sell to
American women.” he adds.

NORMAN NORELL. the
famous New York designer, is
of the impression that the
average American woman is
learning to look “rich but not
gaudy.”
American fashion is becom
ing the world’s greatest as
• sembly point for the arts and
crafts of the world, both mod
, ern and traditional. Many na
tive arts of India, Japan, Eu-
rope, and the Middle East
were dying out Until Ameri
can designers showed their in
terest in adapting them to the
American fashion market.
“Their textiles, embroideries
and metal work have been re
vived as a course of livelihood,
and in turn have brought a
wave of oriental grandeur and
richness,” Mr. Norell says.
His prediction: Clothes next
winter will be more luxurious
and brightly colored than they
have been in nearly 50 years,
due to the treasure-trove of
Indian silks, English and
French artisan-woolens, Ital
ian, Swiss, and Frence hand
woven brocades and embroid
eries.
There’s no danger American
women will go color mad and
on a rampage of over-dressing.
Says Norell, “I think good
j taste has become the rule, not
| the exception today.”
TRAFFIC-STOPPING WIN
DOW DISPLAY —The heat
wave had off-beat results in
New York recently. Parking
her bicycle outside a window
full of fancy evening slippers,
a shorts-clad young woman
went into the shoe store and
tried on dozens of pairs of the
most elaborate sandals in the
place. As each pair was fitted,
she would leap up and do a
mambo in front of the mirror.
She realized she was stopping
traffic and stopped short ex
plaining she was a mambo
dancer and had to be fully
convinced her slippers would
stay on while she did the in
tricate dance steps.

HAPPY THE BRIDE —Many brides like the shorter-
I length wedding dress because they find it much easier
to go down the aisle, minus the worry of trains ond
such. This ballerina-length wedding gown is of hand
clipped Chantilly lace and nylon tulle. A pleated
flounced underskirt creates a lovely skirt effect. It's
one of the preview bridals to be shown tonight by the
Emily Shop at their 8:30 p.m. bridal dresses and acces
sories fashion show.
Annual Waterford Fair
To Be Held in October
The 12th annual Waterford
Fair will be held October 7-9,
it is announced by Mr. C. A. R.
Lindquist, chairman of the
Waterford Foundation, Inc.
The fair, an exhibit of the
works of artists and craftsmen
j of Loudoun County, Va., is
sponsored by the foundation, a
non-profit institution, estab
lished in 1944 to preserve and
encourage arts and handicrafts
in Waterford and surrounding
Loudoun County.
In keeping with previous
years, there will be exhibits of
weaving, spinning, rug-hook
ing. pottery-making lamp
making, iron-mongering and
other arts, skills and products.
Products will be on sale to the
public.
In addition to these exhibits,
there will be an antique show,
visits to the old Friends Meet
ing House, tours of the out
standing Colonial homes of the
town, and other special attrac
j tions.
Waterford is an old mill
town situated 3 miles off Vir
ginia Route 9, 6 miles from
Leesburg. It was founded by
Quakers in the early 18th cen
tury and the first house is be
lieved to have been built in
1733. Its location off the
beaten path has kept the com
munity insulated from the ma
jor changes that have affected
similar towns during the past
century and Waterford has re
mained largely unchanged
for the past 200 years. The
flour mill, the Friends Meet
ing House, the weaver's cot
tage, the town jail and many of
the earliest homes have been
preserved or restored to much
of their original form.
In addition to Mr. Lindquist,
members of the board of di
rectors are Sarah Rusmiselle,
Louise Lueders, Eleanor R.
Canty. Peggy Gill, Albert
Lueders, Dorothy Payette,
Robert McCray. Pauline Rog
ers, Marie Schmidt. Paul Rog
