flight dress I launched a week of fall showings Monday with Princess Elizabeth their chief target | and the first Queen Elizabeth their | chief inspiration. ‘ Angele Delanghe, long-time designer to the Duchess of Kent, tried to catch the royal bride's eye with a collection - opening Elizabethan wedding gown, Other costumes also reflected the ruffies, pannier pockets and Raleigh capes of the 15th cen-
tury queendom. The wedding gown was of white satin, patterned with hearts. Its el-| bow sleeves were tight-fitting and | ended in ruffles, and it carried al six-foot train. With it the house| showed a skull-fitting Elizabethan cap.
Chinese brocade, received by the.
dressmaking house two years after it was ordered, was used for an eve- | ning coat with true leg-o'-mutton | sleeves, rounded revers and a tal. lored skirt. All daytime hemlines were one and one-half inches longer than last season, and cocktall dresses! were #hown only nine and one-half * inches from the floor

A tomato-colored tallored suit was shown with a silk blouse patterned with coaches and horses, { Tweed swagger coats were shown with sailor and storm-locked collars. One camel's hair overcoat | with balloon sleeves and a fastened sailor collar was shown with a hat by Bimon Mirman shaped like a

A “Raleigh” velvet opera cape fastened high with “boulder” buttons, Drasses were shown: wih cone trasting black jackets made with miniature tallcoat backs and Eton boy cutaway fronts.

His stock answer to all inquiries about the royal trousseau, was “I don't know,” . The evening gown collection id heavy accent on the bust with em- | broidered jeweled crosses on al cyclamen colored top worn over a white crepe skirt. : The famous Hartnel] tucks were featured in many of the gowns. “Vapeurs” was a dark gray chiffon gown with 11 tucks in the full skirt A criss-cross bodice was of jet black sequins. Extensive use was made of blue plastic sequins on a net gown slit up to the knee. The gown was called “Cote Azur.” The 30-gown collection was designed for exclusive members of Rritish society and overseas buyers.

Actress Gets Her Glamour - For $83.30
Only the New Girdle Brings Out Groans By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press: Staff Correspondent | NEW YORK, July 30.-~Jo Hurt, 23, never wore a hat and she never wore stockings and she never wore a girdle. Until yesterday, that is. That's musical comedy actress turned herself over to a style expert to be glamorized—on a budget. Edgar, the stylist, did her up to stampede the casting directors for
weekly salary as understudy to the comedy songstress in “Brigadoon.” “I can’t bend, I can't sit down, I can’t even walk,” Jo wailed at the girdle. Then she wiggled into the skirt of the new black faiile suit, “Oooh,” she sighed, “Look how that skirt fits now.” Edgar agreed it did pretty well for Her problem figure—considerably heavier than it should be below its 23-inch waist. He'd picked the suit for that purpose. The jacket had a rippling, swallow-tail to taper Jo's hips ands thighs. The skirt was slinf. Price, $21.95,
On the Hat Question She Hesitates
Black suede pumps with closed
healthy Cape Cod- bred legs, Edgar | “Gray nylons, with a slim heel-line cost $1.90, Black suede gloves with eyelet trimmings cost $7.20. The black suede handbag was more than the said
least three costumes.
Edgar picked a bright cerise scarf to peek out of the high buttoned suit neckline and tuck down the front to show like a blouse through the buttonholes—$2.49, |
Before the shopping expedition, Edgar had curled the bangs and ends of Jo's shoulder-long blond hair, .Now she could have a hat. His choice, a triangular satin beret, pointed off-the-face and wide low
on the shoulders, with an open crown—$5.95. “Well,” Jo stalled, “you did say
I could carry it.” Edgar fussed with the skirt. “Just right,” he decided. It came one and one-half inches below the heaviest part of Jo's calf, 13% inches from the floor. Jo bent the girdle into a chair with a groan. “You will have to practice,” Edgar told her, “walking and sitting.” Then he sighed happily. “Ah, my dear, just see what this does for your limbs.”
