Newest Fashion Changes
Explained by Manufacturer
By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United. 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. .
