Foundation Garments Allied
With Curve-Conscious Spring
For a curve-c onscious
spring, foundation garments
form a pretty alliance with
fashion, underlining shapely,
feminine day and evening
clothes.
Colors for the new founda
tions are lush pastels, along
with white and black, and
fabrics are sheer, though con
trolling. For spring's modifed em
pire styles - which are better
described as short-w a i s t e d
than high-waisted - there are
brassieres with gently curving
cups, and bands that stretch
downward, sometimes passing
the waistline.
Cropped jackets, shaped
close to the body, likewise fo
cus attention on the busline,
Gloves for Spring
Said Elegant
Gloves have an especially
elegant look this spring. Trim
ming techniques are many
and varied and always subtle.
Typical are all-over pin tucks,
appliques and discreet bead
ing. Embroideries have a. hand
made, delicate air. They p
pear in both vivid colors and
such soft shades as pale green,
blue and yellow. Some are
empire - inspired designs of
fruits or flowers.
Eyelets and perforations
serve as decorations and also
offer coolness.
Leather trims are popular,
too, and leather is often com
bined with fabric. Patterned
sheer nyion teamed with
French kid looks new, feels
light and comfortable, while
washable leather and stretch
yarns are another favorite
combination.
Feather - weight washable
kid, pique, printed cotton and
stretch gloves are all in fash
ion's favor. High-count cotton
gloves are closely knit, very
soft to the touch and, in some
cases, give the appearance of
doeskin.
Easy-care virtues are offered
by pastel striped nylon sheers
and nylons trimmed with scal
lops. Fxench knots and fagot
ing. Novelty jerseys and
suedes with band and fold
trimming are other good glove
choices.
and offer another argument
for the youthfully uplifting
brassiere which underplays
rather than accentuates the
bosom.
For the slim, easy-fitting
sheath, there are new corse
lets, most of them all-elastic
and virtually weightless.
Down -stretch paneling front
and back flattens where most
figures need flattening.
In both brassieres and corse
lets, particular attention is
paid to styles for the 'A-cup
and the D-cup' figure. And the
young teen-ager will find
greater variety, this season in
all types of foundations.
For the dress with naturally
placed waistline and pleated
or swirling skirt, the cinch is
making a comeback.
Not so "belittling" as the
cinch of the - multi-petticoat
era, but nevertheless intent
upon tapering, are these types
of waist control: the hip-
length brassiere, usually
called a bralette; the high-rise
girdle or pahty girdle, and the
narrow band with waist-whittling
its sole purpose. .

Hip control is concentrated

the waist down. -
Long-legged pantie-girdles
are available in junior, aver
age and full-figure versions to
trim the thighs for spring
sheaths.
Late-day and evening fash
ions have prompted a wonder
ful collection of strapless and
low - cut foundations. Both
brassieres and corselets
plunge front and back to ac
comodate either the short
strapless dress with billowing
skirt or the long, wand-like
sheath with deep decolletage
thinly veiled by chiffon.
Jewelry Designed for
Complementing Fashion
Spring is the season of new
ness and the jewelry de
signed to complsment spring
fashions takes its inspiration
straight from this mood of the
new and the fresh, reports the
Fashion Coordination Institute.
Important among the newH jewelry is color. With many
trends is the shorter length of
necklaces. Short bibs, shorter
chokers and the shortest neck
lace of all, the dog collar, star
for spring.
Short sleeves for suits and
dresses spotlight bracelets,
with a deep - cuff look and
jeweled and textured surfaces.
Shorter Necklaces
Earrings assume new forms
and designs to complement
the shorter necklaces. Button
earrings, with a dimensional,
"crusted" and jeweled look,
pair with short bibs or chok
ers, wniie otner earrings
sweep up the outline of the
ear, to provide just the right
accent for the dog collar. -
Pins, pins and more pins of
every size, shape and descrip
tion fill a big fashion role.
But perhaps' the most
spring-like touch of all in new
pale pastels and many neu
trals seen in dresses, suits and
coats, colored jewelry has
special importance in the
fashion scheme of things, the
Institute reports. '

painter of a tender or any
other line used for towing,

ever fouling the prop of the
tow boat.
Coal is the largest single
source of energy and heat.
Dresses Take High Road fo Fashion; Above Waistline
Dresses are taking the high
road to fashion this spring,
"high" meaning anything that
is, or looks as if it is, above
the normal waistline.
While there aren't too many
with true empire lines, a wide
variety of '"lifted looks" and
"short-waisted" looks may be
chosen to flatter many differ
ent figure types.
One of the favored ways to
achieve this look is through
dress and jacket costumes,
composed of dresses with a
closer - to - the - body fit and
jackets that stop just below
the bustline or just above the
waistline. ."
The trick may also be turn
ed by mock bolero effects,
contrast bodices, high-placed
bows, inset bands, seaming or
buttons.
Contoured Belts
Then there are high-rising
contoured belts, sashes, drap
ed scarves and draw-strings,
all of which contribute to the
"lifted look" for dresses.
Alternates to the high-rise
effect are offered by many
dresses with natural waist
lines, some with dropped
waistlines, and princess styles.
Blousons continue as a popu
lar favorite, with the Mous
ing often starting above the
waist. Tunics provide a new
and fashionable look for still
other dresses.

dice treatments give freshness

ions of the shirtwaist, the
sheath and the bouffant. .
Neckline interest centers
around large collars, usually
standing away from the neck
and often pleated, fluted or
folded. Spring - like lingerie
touches of white linen, lace or
organdy are favored.
