Billowy Graduation Dress Still Popular No Chemise, Trapeze For Girl Graduates By GAY PAULEY United Press Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UP)—The chemise and trapeze may come and go, but the billowy graduation dress seems destined to go on forever. ...... The silhouette of short sleeves, wide sash or cummerbund, and full skirt is the top one with this spring’s girl graduate, as it has been for many years back, according to New York manufacturers. ... . . Not a single house that I talked to dared a variation of the chemise or trapeze, w’hich dominate women’s fashions generally. “This is the one time they want to look especially pretty,” said a spokesman fcr Connie Sage. “And the full skirts are prettiest on this age group . . . they’re a lilt young to try for sophistication. Want To Look Alike “The herd instinct bars . much change,’’ said Post Eddy, of Rappi Frocks. "For the same reason they will wear blue jeans around the house they all want billowy skirts for dressup. They want to look alike, I guess.” "We did depart a little this spring with a couple of sheaths, and. they sold .quite well.” said a spokesman for Sportlane. “But graduation styles remain pretty standard for a couple of reasons. Mirny schools regulate what the gift graduate will wear. And it’s easier to fit most teen-agers in full skirts.” Manufacturers aim for variety with fabrics and color combinations. White, once a “must,” has been deposed by the pastels. “We sell less and less all white each year,” said Sage, “because most of the girls are looking for something they can wear later. A pastel goes more places.” Pastels Outsell White Junior First said that this spring its pale pinks, blues and yellows were out-selling white. Sportlane said mint was “very strong ” Many manufacturers combine white with pastel. The bodice and sash in pale pink, the rest of the dress white for instance. Sage shows one of white organdy worn over a pale blue silk slip. Fabrics include pure cotton broadcloth, a white -on - white broadcloth, cotton batiste eyelet, dacron and cotton blends in solid or eyelet, embroidered organdies and batistes. . Manufacturers do their ,best business in the grade and high school age group, although today graduation for the kindergarten set is becoming commonplace. The U. S. Post Office reported that in 1956, 21 million letters ended up in the dead letter offices because of illegible handwriting.
