All Lengths
For Coats
This Spring
Emphasis on
Tiny Topper
Coats go to all lengths, this
Spring, with new fashion em
phasis placed on the tiny, waist
high topper and the full length
princess coat.
Blown-up sleeves, sparkling
new colors and richly-textured
fabrics provide newest coats with
their own fashion scoop.
Take sleeves, for example,
whether the coat is a shrug-type
briefer or reaches to the hem, its
silhouette is accented by the ex
aggerated size of the sleeve. For
there are batwing, large lantern,
balloon, cape, bell, turn-back and
sleeves Mousing from the waist
line on hand this season.
Full Sleeves
Every sleeve type is full, in a
manner suggesting turn of the
Century fashions. And every
sleeve, in this full 'design, is
visually combined with dropped
shoulder seams, welt details
across the bodice and back, or
diamond and squarecut arm
holes. Typical shrug coat, or waist
length topper, featuring the over
size sleeve is one of pastel fleece.
It is styled with sloped shoul
! ders, just below the elbow bat
wing sleeves. And it is detailed
with a small bead-embroidered
collar.
Typical full-length coat style
with outstanding sleeve treat
ment, is a sleeveless coat with
the upper arms covered by the
cape top of the coat. The coat
appears in a rough-textured wool
and is cinched .in at the waist
by a self-belt.
Princess Favored
The full-length princess coat,
predicted to be the coat favorite
in this length for Spring, in
many instances, is designed with
a figure-hugging bodice and a
full skirt. One example is a snug
top, whirl-skirted princess coat
of grey flannel with a deep cape
collar covering the rounded
shoulders and also serving to pro
vide eye appeal to the slim
sleeves.
Loose full-length coats, great
ly in evidence this Spring, are
fashioned with carefully con
trolled all-around flare. This type
of coat, in a cashmere, may ap
pear with full-blown three-quar-.
ter push-up sleeves.

Has Crisp, Lady-Like Look
There's a crisp, lady-like look to lingerie designed for Spring.
And this feminine outlook is reflected to best advantage in the
abundance of cottons used for everything from petticoats to night
gowns, and in the many petticoats presented to help billow out
new fullness of dress and suit skirts.
Most important, perhaps, in the Spring lingerie fashion picture,
are the many variations of the petticoat, now so popular with the
current stress on wide skirts.
Newest are the petticoats with t
fullness accentuated by stiffen
ing. This is done, in many in
stances, with underskirts of crin
oline or organdy, flexible boning
in the hem, narrow bands of
corded ' fabric placed directly
above the hemline ruffling and
starched fabrics used in the mak
ing of the petticoat itself.
New Outlook
Petticoat fashions, in them
selves, offer a new outlook for
the Spring season. There are full,
full petticoats, designed with side
zipper' closings and finished
waistbands, that can double as
skirts. There are pretty cotton
petticoats with ultra feminine
eyelet embroidery trim, made
for wear beneath sheer dresses.
And there are bouffant petticoats
of crisp organdy, designed with
their own crinoline underskirts,
that also may be worn as skirts.
Dainty trims also add femi
nine appeal to new petticoats.
Featured are lavish net and lace
hem ruffles and colorful floral
embroideries. Many of the hew
petticoats come with their own
matching camisoles.
Elasticized, shirred and mold
ed midriffs help carry out Spring
fashion's Empire silhouette

too. Shown, above, is a typical
Empire style molded midriff
gown designed with an all
around accordion pleated skirt.
Made of permanently pleated ny
lon, it's called the "Grecian God
dess" by Van Raalte.
Let Cummerbund
Lend Color Dash
Watch for the cummerbund,
this Spring, to lend a bright dash
of color and serve as a co-ordinating
accent to both casual and
dress-up fashions.
For that wide crushed or flat
pleated sash-effect belt is very
much in evidence in the Spring
Empire fashion picture. It's ready
to add that one spark of color to
princess-line dresses, to accentu
ate the fullness of a billowing
skirt and the snugness of a close
fitting top, and to help a sepa
rates ensemble come to happy
harmony.
Look for the cummerbund, this
Spring, to also add important
emphasis to new brief jackets.

use of organdy and lace trims

pearance to newest designs.
Tricot Ensembles
Typical of nightgowns empha
sizing the Empire silhouette is a
gown and negligee ensemble of
rayon tricot. The gown is fash
ioned with a smoothly fitted
waistline that has its molding
contours accentuated by an ap
plique of bright gold ribbon. The
full length, easy flowing skirt is
gathered around the hipline.
And the brief sleeved top has a
wide V-neckline.
Another example of the Empire
silhouette is a gown which fea
tures a completely smocked bod
ice feminized with pastel em
broidery. Nylon lace inserts out
line the bosom of this nylon tri
cot gown.
Placing emphasis pn the femi
ninity of trim is, for example, a
portrait neckline gown detailed
with shirred nylon net. Another,
in this dress up fashion, is of cot
ton plisse lavished with tiny
tiers of organdy ruffles.
Fresh lingerie colors, on hand
for Spring, include sparkling
whites, mauve, maize, pinks and
blues.

Skirts for

At home fashions, designed for

simply for lounging about the
house, whirl out for Spring in
color drenched skirts meant to
be fluffed out by layers of pretty
petticoats beneath.
Adapted from the past sea
son's fashions are billowing
quilted skirts. These are pre
sented in cottons and rayons, in
gay solid tones and small Pro
vincial type prints. They are
most effective when combined
with contrasting bright color
black jersey tops, designed in a
sleeveless, scoop neck manner or
with a turtle neck and . long or
short sleeves.
Also effective, when teamed
with contrasting scoop neck or
turtle neck jersey tops, are the
whirling skirts that feature a
vari-colored patchwork effect
print.
Novel in appearance are the
new skirts printed to simulate
all-over lace embroidery. Often,
this type of skirt also has a simu
lated fringe border that lends a
sham apron effect to the skirt.
For dress up at home, and
even for parties and other gala
occasions away from home,
there are full, full skirts of satin
or gold accented organdy. These
look best when paired with sim
ple tops, or, for a more elaborate
outlook, with a crushed cummer-

Glove Fashions Match Sleeves
The story is short and sweetly
feminine for gloves this Spring,
in keeping with the elaborately
designed sleeves on dresses and
coats.
Fabrics, fine leathers and
sporty knits are briefed for f ash-ion-rightness,
trimmed in the
most romantic manner, and
dipped, in the case of the fabrics,
in pastels. In leathers, glove col
ors are sharp and intense.
Fabric gloves, whether they
appear in double woven cotton
or nylon, take on a festive air
with lots : of French knotting,
open work of every type; and
sometimes, in the more elabo
rate styles, beautifully designed
hand appliques and intricate
ribbing.
Daisy-fresh white remains
ever popular this Spring with
other fabric shorties appearing
in delicate mauvy pinks and
blues, neutral beiges and black.
