Fashion
Fighting
Finished
By DOROTHY KREIS
Back in 1929 there was a war
raging in the realm of fashion— \
and Oregon coeds were right in the
midst of it.
The chief issue involved the
I
length of women’s skirts, although
the breadth of their hats and the
location and circumference of their
waists also figures in the battle.
The Rightists (upholding short
skirts) were supported by women
who believed in liberty and com
fort. Also by the manufacturers
of silk stockings, and the medical
profession.
Rightists Overpowered
But unfortunately the Rightists'
were overpowered by the Leftists.
The dress designers who thought
the longer dresses would give them
more room in which to display their
talents, supported the Leftists, as
did the textile manufacturers who
wanted to sell more yardage, the
corset-makers (those surviving the
lean years after the war), and the
clothing merchants who depended
heavily on the changes in styles.
Armistice Suggested
An armistice was suggested by a
clever Paris designer—to have
short dresses for street and long
gowns for evening, but was un
popular because it was “too rea
sonable ever to be accepted.” Pop
ular opinion among college stu
dents favored the idea and so the
armistice was signed!
This year’s reappearance of
muffs which means war, suggest
ed the truth until hoop skirts and
pantalettes came along with them
definite proof that the war was
over! At least the war has subsid
ed on the campus front, and we
sincerely hope the days of short
formals with side ruffles are over. I
Pockets
Dominate
’40 Styles
Slim, Fitted Coats,
Military Colors,
Evident This Year
Spring announcements this year
will undoubtedly be different for
the fashion passwords of last yea r
are outdated, and a new play of
words is being bandied about by the
1940 woman.
The darling of the women is
draped pockets which appear on
first spring dresses. Immense patch
pockets are brought to attention in
slim fitted coats with details ap
pearing below nipped in waistlines.
On milady's foot patent leather
of course is the accepted fashion
for spring. Last year toeless, heel
less, and platform soles prevailed'
but now there’s duckbill with
saucy upturned toes, and many'
others have just the tiniest bit of
toe removed.
It's perfectly simple to under
stand how spring- suits have re
tained their topnotch popularity
through the years. Yet every year
they are renovated by new blouses,
especially the expensive and ultra
feminine looking ones.
When “The Music Goes Down
and Round" was all the rage around
town, box, finger-length, and swag
ger coats were also on the hit pa
rade. Last year, slim and trim
fitted coats worked their way up
and this year they’ve practically
broken a record remaining in the
fashion parade longer than other
styles.
Military colors have offset the
brilliant fuschia and chartreuse fa
vorites of last year, and as always,
black and white lead all colors.
Chambray, a fabric lost for many
years, has come out along with
“Gone With the Wind,” the most in
fluential movie in the fashionable
world for years. Speaking of war,
khaki is in and bringing gaek 1914;
memories and style effects.
Slim midriffs is the 1940 version,
discarding completely the dirndl
effects from last year, although
full gored skirts remain popular
through thick and thin.
