What'S Next I'm Fashions?

r r ERE is one Of the most
attractive dresses spon-
sored this season - and
ret one that will probably not
achieve the popularity of models
less charming. What is the rea-
son?
Most OF US, ! am afraid, are
imitators in the realm Of fashion.
We wait until a new mode has
been established and re-estab-
lished and exploited until 1t Is
no longer new. Then we make
obeisance TO it-then and not be-
fore.
The uneven hemline, one of the
innovations of the Winter season
in formal dress, took several
weeks to launch. Girls slipped
into dresses that dipped to the
floor on one side and skinned
the knee at the other, sighed at
the attractiveness Of this line and
then waited for someone else to
adopt it first. "Someone" else
did and now every girl in the
country has at least one dress
that sweeps the ground in back
and exposes her knees in front.
Now this does not mean that
every girl looks well In this type
of dress. I've seen girls with
spiral legs, girls whose calves
were the same size as their ankles
In dresses of this type. A dress
that centers attention below the
knea should not be worn by girls
who don't want attention focused
on their legs. But will they 70
member this when they are buy
ing their evening clothes? No,
they will not. Everyone else is
wearing the Uneven hemline, why
not II" is their plant.
