Press Correspondent New York OJ.PJ Higher bosoms and wider waistlines are the next fashion change facing American women. . ' It's anything but the flat look, fellows, so don't be nervous. Pic ture, if you can, a bustline raised ,two inches above . the present level . and a neckline cut down to the current off-shoulder level. ; The effect is electrifying., ; However, many of the new spring and summer dresses, which are being previewed pub licly for the first time here this week, have modestly high necks, go the change is less-startling. As one man who is an exftu tive of a leading foundation gar ment company explained it: , Bust-Line liaised . . . . - . - "We, have raised the bust as much as two inches, distributed , the flesh a little more to the side so it doesn't protrude and ex pend away from - the body so much and given the American woman a new softness at the top of the bosom that French women have long known was very fem inine." . If that doesn't explain it, here's a specific illustration, although hypothetical, from the same ex ecutive. - "With a woman built like Jane Russell, for instance, we could raise her bustline two inches, maker hf r-lo6konev andlTone-half inches smaller in the bust and give her a lovely figure." Designers have cut dresses and suits to fit a higher bust.: Darts so that with an old-style bras siere the dart would extend up over the curve of the bustline. Besides the softer line, design ers say, this gives a girl a longer, leaner look from the ribs to the hips. Many of the new dresses and suits have loosened waist lines. So. while a girl is sup posed to look willowy, she's not supposed to look wasp-waisted. . Many of the new. foundation garments that achieve this re distribution of a woman's curves are one-piece, strapless combin ations that can best be described as "half girdle, half bra." The girdle extends only a few inches below the waist. : The brassiere covers only the lower half of the bosom, but that half of the bra is firmly designed to sup port the new raised bustline, The bare-topped bra also em phasizes that top softness men tioned earlier. Dior Started It Christian Dior is the man who started it all .with his .'H-line" dresses erroneously described as flat-fronted. The Paris designer kept insisting all along that he only wanted a raised, less-exaggerated bustline. American designers took over and carried on where Dior left off.' : He designed new founda-. tion garments so his models would fit the raised-bosom fash ions. We've copied those under pinnings andadded a few ideas of "ourTpwriU ". t -' t .'. '' ; ':. - The result is not flat, though the profile is definitely less pointed. The next few months will tell how women fit into the in the bodice extend an average 1 new fashion mold and how -one and one-half inches higher, I men react. .
