and won’t be pushed around.
We liked the styles we were
wearing just tine. The war years
when styles were frozen—
proved to us just how sensible
and comfortable it was to get
out from under the tyranny of
quick style changes.
And the lords of fashions sat
back smugly, daring us to defy
them.
As it turns out they had a
light to be smug We were a
fraid to stick by our guns. We
rushed out to buy the new
look. We Jet down the herns on
our old garments
AS soon as they were sure of
the victory, the designers said,
in effect. “That ain’t all, girls!
Come spring and the clothes you
bought last fall are going to be
outmoded, too. If you think you
’re wearing long skirts now, you
ain’t seen anything!”
Yes, we missed the boat.
So. goodbv, 1947—the year
when women might have freed
themselves &om the slavery of
fashion. It might have been Our
Year, but it wasn’t.
