New Dress-Coat Combinations To Serve As Basic Costume
Look to the dress-and-coat ensemble to serve as the basic costume for spring 1952. For it is a versatile twosome that can go everywhere and do everything in fine style. And it is on hand for selection by all ages and all sizes in many variations of itself, in every fabric and every price range.
One of the most popular of these coat-and-dress combinations could be, for example, a rayon print dress worn with a faille or taffeta coat. The dress might be in a soft blue and white floral print teamed with a navy coat featuring a shoulder scarf of the dress print.
This use of the dress fabric for a
bright color accent on the coat is expected to be one of the identifying marks of the 1952 coat-and-dress ensembles. Collar, cuff, belt and lining fabrics are all used to coordinate the two. For instance, a red and white striped taffeta dress is fitted into the tailing of a clear blue ottoman coat. Or a navy sheer crepe dress and a navy faile coat are coordinated by bright red taffetta in the belt of the dress and the lining of the coat.
The possibilities are numerous and the dress and coat can even be selected individually then coordinated with matching belts and scarfs.

There's a crisp, lady-like look to lingerie designed for spring. And this feminine outlook is reflected to best advantage in the abundance of cottons used for everything from petticoats to nightgowns, and in the many petticoats presented to help billowy out new fullness of dress and suit skirts.
Crisp, Billowy Femininity Among Features In New Lingerie Outlook For Spring
Newest are the petticoats with fullness accentuated by stiffening. This is done, in many instances, with underskirts of crinoline or organdy, flexible boning in the hem, narrow bands of corded fabric placed directly above the hemline ruffling and starched fabrics used in the making of the petticoat itself.
Most important, perhaps in the spring lingerie fashion picture, are the many variations of the petticoat, now so popular with the current stress on wide skirts.
Petticoat fashions, in themselves, offer a new outlook for the spring season. There are full petticoats, designed with side zipper closings and finished waistbands, that can double as skirts. There are pretty cotton petticoats with ultra feminine eyelet embroidery trim, made for wear beneath sheer dresses. And there are bouffant petticoats of crisp organy, designed with their own crinoline underskirts, that also may be worn as skirts.
Dainty trims also add feminine appeal to new petticoats. Featured are lavish net and lace hem ruffles and colorful floral embroideries. Many of the new petticoats come with their own matching camisoles.
Elasticized, shirred and molded midrifts help carry out spring fashion's empire silhouette theme in nightgowns featured for the new season. While the use of orgyand lace trims lends a delightfully feminine appearance to newest designs.
Typical of nightgowns emphasizing the empire silhouette is a gown and negligee ensemble of rayon tricot. The gown is fashioned with a smoothly fitted waistline that has its molding contours accentuated by an Shamrock As A Clear

applique of bright gold ribbon. The full length, easy flowing skirt is gathered around the hipline. And the brief sleeved top has a wide V-neckline.
Another example of the empire silhouette is a gown which features

Placing emphasis on the femininity of trim is, for example, a portrait neckline dug detailed with shirred nylon net. Another, in this dress up fashion, is of cotton plisse lavished with tiny tiers of organdy ruffles.
