Shorter Skirts Are Planned This Year: Exit “New Look”?
Christian Dior, in Rome, has announced that his next season skirts j will be shorter, narrow and plainer. Meanwhile, it is rumoured in ■Paris textile circles that he has | bought up the whole output of shantung for the next season’s productions. All-black jumpers made of the finest hand or machine knittihg in plain stocking stitch with an essentuated bustline and long narrow wrist-length sleeves are the most popular garments in Paris at present.
Of these very plain garmen s are to be seen various trimming ideas. Jet cabochon beads, sewn in a pattern or scattered, are much favoured. Another black jumper had a Van Dyck collar and wide cuffs of heavy coarse white lace. Colours featured are basque red, tunnel grey, and black, often in combination as in a red jacket worn ever a full-skirted frock of taffeta showing horizontal pencil lines in red.
