PART OF THE NEW ROMANTIC LOOK
In spring, these fashions might turn a man's fancy when they appear in Kansas.
Miss Wonderful says:
"DOUBLE THE SQUARE"
Take one little heel with a square little toe. Then trim it with a square little T-strap. And there you have two little shoes . . . all squared away for a wonderful date.
Blouses and belted skirts mark a romantic trend
Soft, long-sleeved blouses are there more often than the fitted shirt in the blouse and drindl skirt part of the new feminine, romantic look. Belted waists, either high or at the natural line are evident in many summer dresses. Others are gathered smock style. Tops will be fitted closely and skirts are fuller and freer.
"Skirt lengths depend upon the mood the woman is in," say buyers for some Kansas City women's clothing stores. "We don't look for the midi-length to get very far," one said. The midi-length dresses (from below the knee to the ankle) on the racks for late day wear, aren't selling. Kansas summer weather, even in the evening, isn't cool enough for midis which must be worn with care to avoid looking dowdy.
Lawrence, Kansas
Knit dresses, skirts and tops of citrus and pale colors are big summer sellers because of their easy care characteristics. Geometric designs and flashing colors are not in sight and have been replaced by big and small florals and soft-toned windowpane plaids.
