Silhouette Changes
Considered Drastic
When you attend various fashion shows designed to open the fall program of dress, go with an open mind and be prepared to see startling changes. You may have been going serenely along with the thought that you have a perfectly good suit or coat that you can wear again this season, but when you see the new "lines" you will find suddenly, you have changed your mind.
There is a decidedly new order of things in the fashion world in the way of easy lines that stress a supple blouse movement above the midriff. Sleeves have undergone a transformation stressing dolman effects and even when sleeves are set into their deep armholes they give the impression of dolman sleeves. However the appearance of broad shoulders is maintained through a gentle rounding off that depends on especially contrived shoulder pads, to hold a firm flattering line.
Skirt interest is running high. Fullness is adroitly introduced to convey the idea of slenderness and the new tiered effects are making conversation throughout fashion realms.
Watch peplums and tunics for they play a star role in this season's styling technique, with pleated skirts also very much in evidence.
