. f Sec 1) Statesman. Salem. Or. Friday. Dm. 17. 1954 Style-Wise By PHYLLIS BATTELLE Iateraatiwul News Service : Woman's Editor . NEW YORK (INS) -.Dame fashion entered tfts year 1954 looking like a modest young wom en with a well-defined shape and she's going out a fert, potential flapper! , ' J At all times during the year, she has been decorous and elegant. Never has she allowed her neck line to dip too low. or ber hem line too rise to high. Though her figure has been artfully outlined in dresses, she has never been snug ly or "sexfly" clad. j Always1, fashion of '54 has been lady-like. The year started out in Jan nary and February with the news that an "easier, casual" look would replace the-more form-fitting sil houette of 1933.. The cinch belt had disappeared, and in its place were very narrow belts or none at all. The waist, as a focal point, Vent out." i Bems Up I The skirt, softly fitted over the hip and gently flared around the calves, became the center of at tention. Hemlines were noticeably shorter than they had been in Jan uary of 1953, but they never rose higher than about 16 inches from fiie floor never came close to revealing a not - very - attractive knee. ;' Tweeds began to become the chief fashion fabric of the season, and the designers were promoting shades of red and purple as good basic colors to replace the all-time favorite, black. ! i ! As spring began to come on, the "shape" became the thing. : High-fashion designers showed dresses and suits almost complete ly lined with Pellon, the interlin ing felt-like material that made hiplines bell out and waistlines curve in delicately. Skirts gener ally were slim, but easy to walk in rather than hobble-type as they had been in seasons past. ' ! : . Coats were taking a trend 1 to ward the shorter. Three-quarter, seven-eighths and short-short (waist-length) wraps were begin ning to return to fashion for spring and summer. Jackets Brief Suit jackets, too, were becoming more brief. Some peplums on jackets barely covered the hip bone. A few styles, hinting of the flapper look to come, were unfitted at the waist and pulled in at; the hip middy fashion.! I With the coming of summer, there was the natural switch to fuller skirts, gayer colors, lower scooped necklines and less consis tency in fashion trends. In! the warm weather anything goes, just so it's pretty and airy. Then came fall and the more radical changes. ' i ;! Christian Dior, the Paris design er who seems to have a corner on the bossing of style switches. came out with his "H-line." It was a new shaping of the female torso a longer, slimmer line with a raised and slightly flattened bustline. , '-' Immediately the "H-line" caught in, under heavy promotion from fte American and European- f ash en press. And the long, moulded iook that resulted is the height if style today. , 1 j Back Again j In a lady-like way. the new ityles are verging on the Flapper sra models. Belts are often found round the upper hipline. Waist tines are, in some cases, lost al together under loose middy jackets. Bosoms are as delicate as Nature will allow. . ! Heels are spikier : than ever. Beads are dangling and clinking in long ropes. Hair is swept back, ihort. There are everi a few spit rurls poking out on the cheeks of ladies who take their 'fashion Tends most seriously. ' j Staceys Are Hosts At Dinner r SOUTH SALEM Mr. and Mrs. 2. W.
