French Influence, Silky Look Is Seen In Spring Fashions
The fashion silhouette is narrow this spring of 1951, enhanced with a wealth of eye-compelling details and softening style points that give an over-all air of new and lovely femininity.
Important too, is the dramatic combination of American and French design evident in the new fashion picture.
Strictly U.S.A. are the new season fashions designed to go many places and do many things with just a change of jacket or skirt. Strong and spice is the tang of "originated in France" as is evidenced in tunics, the trumpet silhouette and oblique lines.
A silky look to dresses, suits and coats with many of the same fabrics such as pure silks, ottomans, failles and taffetas used in all three types of apparel, the glitter of jewelled buttons and the Spanish-mannered elegance of braid and satin trims produces in grand combination, a real dress-up season.
Dresses are more versatile than ever and come with their own coats in either matching outer fabrics or linings; with jackets that remove to reveal dinner-time baretops; with boleros that hug or button to insure cover-up or a dress meant for another hour and another mood.
Suits offer limitless possibilities for variation styled with weskits and a choice of two contrasting jackets or skirts; when they have their own jaunty matching or contrasting topper; two handy skirts or their own
blouse in a crisp solid, striped or printed fabric.
Coats, too, are prepared to complement every occasion from travel to dance time. The narrow loose coat, most popular style of Spring 1951, may be worn over sheath dresses, tossed over the shoulders or needle-slim suits, and travels with ease between town and country.
The trumpet silhouette, foremost of the French signature in Spring fashions, is featured all-around-the-hem of dresses, or only at the back, at one side or at the center-front. It is reflected in suit skirts and interpreted with pleats all-around-the-hemline or in gores that widen below the knees. The fitted coat looks new too with the low fullness of the trumpet silhouette.
Offering more of the straight-from-France suggestion to newest fashions are tunics. Detachable tunies, seven-eighths styles or merest suggestions of bipline tunic coverage are used extensively on Spring dresses.
Tunic jackets are prevalent in new suit designs. Sometimes they appear only as an effect in the 28-inch jacket, in other instances, the tunic jacket is 32-inches long and straight in line with the tube-slim skirt.
