Skirt Fullness, Slim Torso,
In Fall Styles
By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—~The ladies will be long and slim of torso, and they'll swing their skirts to the rear this winter if Henri Bendel's| custom designers have anything to say about it. They probably will have, because! they've put their heads together for a beautiful and distinguished group | of costumes on. those themes— smartly simple’, daytime suits and dresses, exotic after-dark ensembles, evening gowns which lack only the crown jewels to complete their lavish elegance. The store will make them up to your measure for anywhere from $250 to about $700. The lines look good for a lot of less expensive adaptations for ready-to-wear buyers. Middy Theme Bendel uses a middy blouse analogy to point up the long" torsoline and features it in a group of two-piece costumes in contrasting colors and fabrics. ' One had a black jersey top with lcng sleeves, a high neckline and a tiirned back cuff hem at the low hipline. It was shown over a cafe au lait velveteen skirt with front

Her skirts look longer and, where they emerge from below a peplum, they are straight and narrow. , Without peplums, they may be gently flaring or have front fullness by way of shirring, pleating or tucking. Another of the favorite Gallagher tricks—use of lots of buttons—is continued in the fall collection . . . but in many new, original and decorative ways. Buttons masquerade as discs covered with the same fabric as that of the outfit to which they're hitched. Dozens of them, for instance, may swing from the bottom of a wide sleeve or a flaring jacket hem, ¥ ~ »
Mexican Touch
ONE NOTE in" the collection is the Mexican influence, in both suits and dresses. The designer brought her inspiration back from
Mexico where she visited last winter, The sotuth-of-the-border idea
shows up in the use of braid, hip drapery, boleros and frilled cuffs characteristic of native costumes. A black gabardine two-piece dress has a bolero faced in red, elaborately braided in shiny black silk and trimmed with carved silver buttons. That's the matador idea. . A two-piece black crepe has accents Of narrow brown crepe pleating; pockets high -on the chest, a peplum frill and an un-der-sleeve effect and pleated wrist frill. That came from the Mexi-
Louise Barnes Gallagher designs this new and urbane suit of muted-tone wool. It flaunts an uneven hemline in skirt and jacket. In ‘both cates, the hemlines drop to points at the sides and the line is further emphasized by pointed pocket flaps, posed aver each hip. A row of sparkling jet buttons descends the jacket front from a small, turned-down collar of black Persian lamb, The Suit is not yet in stock here. : :
