Springs
There are so many wonderful
things about Spring new life
everywhere, skies are more of
ten blue, clouds puffy white, an
upsurging joy of just being
alive!
Then there are new clothes
to see and to buy, new trends
to sense and savor, new colors
to lift your spirits high, delight
ful new wools to love and cher
ish! Spring wools tell an especial
ly exciting and lovely story both
in fabrics and fashion. There's
news in many cloud-light, even
gossamer weaves and weights in
wools fashioned into dresses,
costumes, suits, also airy mesh
es in coats. There are changes
In styling, too, not drastic
enough to out-date your present
wardrobe, but sufficiently new
to stimulate your appetite for
Spring, 1962.
The newsiest trend in wools
and worsteds is in the light and
airy constructions, which have
been called "the naked wools",
truly year-around weights that
may be worn comfortably under
coats or with small furs on cool
er days and most pleasantly
even in mid summer.
Their open weaves admit the
air, the natural absorbency of
wool eliminates any damp or
sticky feeling, its resilience
keeps clothing looking fresh and
unwrinkled. There are weights
from nun's veiling, about 3'k
oz. to the yard, through worsted
voiles, various leno or meshy

weaves to new worsted crepes
as light as iVi to 5Vi oz. and
on to coatings of various
weights. It all adds up to some
of the most delightful fashions
for Spring in many a season.
As for color, selection of a
leader is not easy, but there is
much evidence of white, off
white, pale bone and light
beiges in coats, suits and dress
es. White influences other col
ors, also, frosting, plaiding and
otherwise lightening them.
The green family speaks up
happily of new leaves and bud
ding plants; apricot looks fresh
and appealing in its true shade
and also in its family, including
shrimp, salmon, whitened
orange ice, deeper and softer
orangy shades. ,
Daffodil yellows are new look

open darts on each side at the waistline, front and back with

Tell Exciting Story
white combinations look good
for early days.
The story of changes in
shapes is one of variety, indeed.
One important trend is to skirts
with hemline width that ema
nates gently from a low hipline,
well liked in both dresses and
suits.
Gored skirts that swirl low
into moderate width look new;
unpressed pleats continue; the
trend to eased fullness at the
waistline of slim dresses and
suits also continue.
Rising waistlines increase in
importance in coats, suits and
dresses, ranging all the way
from the true princess to very
slight suggestions achieved
through manipulations of the
fabric, stitching, especially slot
seaming, dartings.
Waistlines tend to come clos
er to the figure, some actually
fitted. Not a few still have the
figure-skimming look, notably in
real and simulated two-piece
styles which are of considerable
interest for the new season, the

The sleeveless, easy dress, oft

jackets to match. Suit jackets

out buttoning, but longer
lengths are also shown, and
many suits have their own
blouses, almost invariably over-
blouse types.
