T. he Long and Short of This Year's Evening

By LOUISE FLETCHER : Times Women's Editor ‘A QUICK LOOK AT THIS SEASON'S evening styles almost would lead one to believe that many of the frocks should bear “Standing Room Only" signs. So slim‘ and straight looking are they

that at first glance one questions the advisability “of sitting down, or |

even of walking in them But—-surprise—it's ‘without ‘popping any seams; and ‘there's plenty. ol leg: room. for exer; -eising shank’s mare, w . +r ri 2 crs 108 all & matter: of. slits in: the long-skifted numbers and of Ingeniously contrived lapover ( evening frocks. So either is a perfectly safe choice so far as freedom of the knees js concerned. TA :

THERE'S A PRETTY DEFINITE DIVISION of opinion, however, | Most of them, of course, are in dinner dresses rather than in the gowns

on the long vs. the short evening frock. Designer Mainbocher, for instance, came out recently with the statement. that he didn't Jike the proportions resulting from the short decollete evening dress with its expanse of bare shoulders and long expanse of legs. Other style-wise individuals are just as definite in indorsing the short: fashion.so long as the “proportions” it encases are not bulging.

‘There's no denying the “brief, bare and beautiful” frock looks its best |

on a jeune fille. chassis—and on a woman with a pronounced air | oo “Anything goes—from an under-the-chin mandarin ‘collar to

| .a plunging V or a scooped out square or U line. One type of neck-

of chie. , The long-and-short-of-it question probably won't develop -into a

real feud, though, because there are knockout designs in both fields. | Hattie Carnegie, credited with starting the short style last year, re- |

tained botH types in her collection this year. One of her newest long | yo, Tig line has proved to be so.well liked that it is being adapted

While the dress has a belt at the normal waistline, it still has the |", 4 extending from ‘shoulder to shoulder, and frequently of fur

or in jeweled effects.

Directoire look because of a high-busted effect einphasized by shirring. . . . ” » ”

IT IS SURPRISING HOW FEMININE the new growns look in spite of the smaller amount of fabric used in them. -Traina-Norell designs (turned out by Hoosjer-born Norman Norell) use a minimum of material but still havé"s fluid appearance because of the supple fabrics employed.

4. Black crepe with a skirt wrapping from the right and a row of tiny jet buttons up the shirred front (6 a sheer lace bodice. The lace goes down well below the shoulder blades in back. (Ayres’.)

‘5. Nettie Rosenstein's skillful touch with draped lines appears in this frock. Twin clusters of -roses highlight the surplice line of the bodice and a long streamer of the fabric drops down to the point of the skirt slit. (Wasson's.) _ : ’

. ~ heartedly for cutting down on the amount of fabric used in her designs, and yet she achieves a flowing and “pliable” look by skillful draping. She doesn't add a lot of extraneous trimming to clutter up the silhouette, either. Witness a flim and slash-skirted evening gown with only twjn clusters of roses at right shoulder and left hip to accent its skillful draping. i Lives » an oo ” ” »

ONE OF THE MARKED TRENDS in evening styles is the grow- | ing. popularity. of. the front-and-center closing... Ffequently the fas... .

The number of cap sleeves that are appearing is noteworthy, too.

designed for white tie occasions, “In many of the short evening styles, if there is no ¢ap sleeve, there is a suggestion of one obtained through

| off~the-shoulder or dropped shoulder lines. An example of this is the

veiled effect achieved in one model by letting a filmy lace bodice curve over the upper arms on its way to a deep back yoke. ! § u . ”

oon . . tom THERE 18 NO SUCH THING as a favored neckline in this winter's

line that “goes” particularly well with short-skirted ‘evening dresses is- the off-the-shoulder line, probably because its Moyen age air ties’ in with the tubular lines in which the street-length frocks are

to daytime styles in shoulder yoke effects or in separate collarettes,

The deluge of glitter trimmings that threatened earlier in the fall happily has not materialized, . There is glitter, yes, but it is introduced in a delicate and discreet manner and not in. the wholesale lots that immediately make one suspect a camouflage for bad lines. When it is used, it takes the form-of tiny jet buttons and beadings, or of brilliints embedded in jewel-like buttons, or as part
