New Look Has Undergone Radical Changes
Local Shop Co-Owner Kinds On Fashion Tour
By Audrey Heweii
In case you were planning to
use suits or skirts cast in last
fall's mode of the New Look,
you have rerKoned without tlv
current whim of New York
fashion experts. Miss Shafia Ha
tem of Shafia's Dress Shop, wro
has just returned from a fall
buying trip ;here, says that li e
New Look has undergone a radi
cal' modification.
Tight Skirts In
Pencil skir.\5 with tight-fitting
lines have been given the ncd
over the full, Ballerina style.·; so
popular last year Miss Hatein
found this true in her tour -if
the City. According to her ob
five top-notch fashion houses η
servations, tho Ballerina skirt is
on its way out.
Ankle-ength fashions have also
been given the go-by. Popular
length for this fall in dresses,
suits and coats is a standard 12
inch hemline. While this short
ening will probably win applause
from most corners, still for many
it will mean a busy sewing ses
sion.
Hoods Are Dropped
Also decreed by the experts is
the dropping of hoods from coats
and jackets. New styles will be
without. But along with the new
trends in coats is one that is
certain to win favor. Detachable
linings that can be zipped in as
the weather grows cooler have
been passed on by designers.
This feature is bound to give
more year-around service to
coats and will probably have a
hearty endorsement.
Fur Prices Rising
Other tends in coats noticed by
Miss Hatem is the popularity of
large cuffs and the full Belmain
sleeves. In furs, she found that j
Mink and Persian are taking the j
lead. College girls, however, still
cling to the basic natural-dyed :
Muskrat for all-round service j
and durability. A factor that will
evoke protests, however, is the
rising prices of furs. Prices in
all skins have doubled since last
season. Muskrats that sold for
$200 last season are now $400,
and prices in better furs will
reach astronomical figures.
The short jacket is still hold
ing its own from last year, Miss
Hatem found. Λ slight flare is
popular as is the double-breast
ed effect.
Slit Skirts
Going more in detail about ^
changes in skirt styles, Miss
Hatem said that slit skirts, on
the side and in front, are pop
ular, as is the inverted pleat
running down the center. Gores
in two's and three's also have
won approval.
Charcoal Is Favorite
Asked the leading color of the
season, the local shop-owner
named without heistation char
coal. She found this blending of
black and gray dominating the
fashion color scheme. In coats,
dresses and formal wear, she
observed this new color to be
the most popular. Matching
charcoal with brown accessories
seemed to be the 'popular thing"
in New York, but the color goes
equalv well with black and al
most every other color of the
spectrum.
Colors Also Popular
Other colors popular at this
stage of the season, she found,
were dark and moss green, wine
and medium dark blue. Browns
and blacks have not come in thus
far. but probably will be as
popular later on in the season,
as they usually are, she surmis
ed.
Satin Still Popular
A hang-on in popularity from
last year is satin. This glossy
material for dresses is still hold
ing its own and the new char
coal color makes it an even more
outstanding favorite.
Sam Irby Smith, 11
Honored' On Birthday
Sam Irby Smith celebrated his
11th birthday Sunday afternoon
with a party at his home on
Jackson Street.
Home motion pictures were
enjoyed for an hour. Mrs. Smith
then served ice cream, cake and
iced punch to the following
guests: Carrol and Velma Butts
from Penn.. Nancy Butts. Lee
Thomas, Adolph Grimes, Billy
Jenkins, Moody Waters,. Jimmy,
Helen and Ellen Smith and
Charles Butts.
Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Loy and
children are spending this week
at Nags Head.
Mr and Mrs. Jimmie Mayfield
are vacationing at Virginia ;
Beach.
Shoe Styles
Commenting briefly on shoe
styles, Miss Hatem said gold san
dals are out in the North. Whe
ther or not they will be aban
doned in the south, where year
around wcarability is more prac
tical than in the North, she didn't
know.
The ankle strap shoe, with two
and three staps added, has also
held its position from last year.
Buttoned styles are popular, and
a slightly pointed toe reminis
cent from grandma's day is dom
inating the shoe picture.
Classic Grooming Best
With all the fashion changes
facing us and making not a few
feel slightly rebellious. Miss Ha
tem seems to have a good piece
of advice. If we don't have the
means to cater to fashion whims
as they flucuate from season to
season, she says the best things
to do is to buy classic styles
with basic good lines. These will
ride the fashion waves from
season to season, and we won't
feel like refugees from a period
museum.
