Then and Now
Fashions Are

BY JOAN DEAN

FIFTY EIGHT years OF
changing fashions and here we
are with the streamlined YER
sion of 1911 comparable in many
ways to the more elaborate
styles of 1888.
The then and now models pic
tured here show you how the
little details are picked up but
with materials and styling mod
ernized 10 suit the changing
times.
Both are afternoon dresses
but how different 1883
has puffs. bustles, coat-tail and
a profusion of lace and velvet
1871 is straight and short of
skirt for ease and freedom in
walking the eighties moved
slowly and casually.
THE SCROLL Of chenille
found in the former costume is
used in the modern version 10
band the peplum. which is this
years Interpretation Of the
hustle and coat-tail effect, and is
trimmed in soutache braid
which gives a more tailored
look.
Both sleeve styles are loose at
the hand but 1941 is shortened
to the glove-length and edged
with braid and not lace.
THE TWO hats might have
come from the same battery, so
similar are they in size and de-
sign, except that the lady of
yesterday tied hers under her
chin with a huge bow, and to-
days young lady settles for a
veil. The feather treatment is
almost identical.
ColorS of the other day were
bright and definite red was
red and purple was purple.
Grandma wore lavender but no
one had heard of lemon yellow,
hunters green or Michigan
sand. Today we have shades
and tones not colors, and
they are much more flattering.

Keep Your Chin UP Is Edic+

made with just a hint Of a flare
in the derriere.
Stiff, standup ruffs of taffeta
or faille decorate the front neck
line of black woods or silks. Fur
and laces are punched under the
chin.
These are all part Of Miss
Benenson's prophetic silhouette
which includes slim fronted
skirts with the fullness pulled
10 the back. There's only a
slight fullness on daytime
dresses. but evening styles have
the beginnings of infant bustles.
Rich Fabrics
Fabrics are rich-brocades.
moireS, slipper satins, matelasse
velvets and crepes, sheer and
beautiful laces and rich woods.
They're reminiscent of a more
luxurious era, as are the styles
themselves.
Soutache braid. tasselS and
beading are modern revivalS of
ancient favoriteS.
In the midst Of so much femi-
ninity, there must be some con-
trast. So Miss BenenSon shows
a manufactured suit of a fine red
and blue c. g k tweed with
trouser creases-two tucks down
the front and back in the same
position as the creases in a we'll
pressed pair of pants.
Sequins Glitter
Sequins haven't been placed
on the priority liSt-if they
have. Sally Milgrim hasn't heard
of il. She used them on dresSy
afternoon frocks, whole capes Of
them for evening, for purses. for
decoration and for scarf accents.
Bead embroidery in exciting
colors and interesting patterns
decorate sleeves, hips, necklines
and cuffs.
Her shoulder styles are an
outright revolt against the slop-
ing and unpadded line They're
wider even. than the football
styles of a few seasons ago. and
they're emphasized by landings
Of fur. buttons or beads.

one who thinks femininity is an

her tailored slacks.
The slacks Martha wore while
making this observation were

sparkling pink roses in her ears.
