Willowy Dresses In For Spring Though less drastic than an ticipated, interesting changes in basic silhouettes have brought | about a thoroughly 1955 look in spring dresses. The new line is long and lean.: Generally, necklines are high er, bustlines are higher and rounder, waistlines are some what lower. Set-in sleeves are slinv Armholes are smaller both in sleeved and sleeveless styles. The waist is not tightly nipped, although it is indeed acknowl edged. All features contribute to a longer bodice line. With spring, the long torso line becomes an effect rather than a sweeping movement of severely dropped w a i s tJ i n e s. Some dresses feature a bodice line cut off at the hip bont; oth ers achieve an attenuated feel ing by dipping belts or cumber- bunds that lie from the waist down; hip yokes, low-placed poufs and bows provide eye-low- THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, April 28,1955 ering details on dresses that ac tually retain the natural waist line. Ovar-Blous* Newly Shaped The ovef-blouse — either at tached or unattached—is another way of producing the long look. But the newest of these, even, is somewhat shaped at the waist to defer to femininity’s curves. ' Skirt-wise the sheath is spring's darling. The long look afternoon dress usually offers a skirt that is gently shaped— neither pegged nor stretched taut and combines slimness with easy movement. The slen der skirt division ranges from casual dresses through daytime and evening dress-ups. The cocktail sheath is once more an important fashion entity. Lean Cotton Season Even in full-skirted cottons and silk prints, the change to ward gentler, leaner lines is no table. The airy, free-swinging styles of late spring and sum mer also feature the high bust line, the wide and shallow neck line and the not-so-cinched waist. The full skirts feature un pressed pleats for the most part, but some bias-cut gored skirts are present. The linens, the silks, the cot tons of shining and textured sur faces and the increasingly versa tile synthetics keep the fabric story a light and carefree one. But the wools, more feather weight and dress-appropriate than ever, make big news in spring dresses. The weaves and textures are myriad. But jac quard leads the roster.
