f HE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Monday, March 26, 1956 Don't Frighten Your Husband In Your New Easter Suit by MARGARET DINGMAN You've got to be in slender ; : shape this spring, if you plan to do justice to the elegant new fashions. Like the fairy tale lad who grew slim by concen trating on long foods, eating carrots and celery will help. The new basics, look , light, feel light, but act like benevo lent dictators. And they have to, because designers agree this season on a narrow fashion rule. The deeper, broader interest ing hats make dramatic curtain raisers for the slender clothes. Below this striking to-note, the suits have shorter jackets that practically point to slim hips. The bolero is definitely back and we all know what that means in terms of well moulded midriffs. Unusual detailing calls for a natural rounded bustline on the empire style dresses. Bateau necklines with bold cuts of ma terial dominate afternoon and evening dresses. Needless to say, knife pleated, or straight, the skirts are demanding on the figure. Taking a close look at the fundamentals of all this narrow shaping, it's clear this is a lady look season. Understatement is the tone, and the key basic must fit both the figure and the fash ion it underlines. A dress with a smooth midriff calls for an all-in-one, or a basque to give a long unbroken line. Please ladies buy yourself one of these "all-in-ones" before you spring one of those short jacket suits with the pencil slim skirt, on your husband. I had to re turn my perfectly lovely Easter suit, because he said "You look like you are expecting" I was expecting! A compliment! But even I knew better in my two-way stretch.
