GLAMOUR 127 We see by tke stars Talented young Mi -Edward Stev¬ enson, who designs clothes at RKO Radio Studios, is particularly impressed hy the ingenue fashions for spring. To prove it, he’s just completed a cupboard full of frocks reflecting this trend for Sally Eilers to wear in “They Made Her a Spy ’. He says that we’ll be wearing prim, starched fabrics for street wear, with taffeta heading the list of favorites. And, best of all, petticoats galore to rustle under the full, very brief skirts. And shoulders . . . squared and raised to an arrogant angle, for they are important news this spring. They may be satin-smooth, broad, pinched or puffed, but shoulders youll have, to give you that wide-at-the-top, slim-throughthe-midriff look that is so necessary. Stevenson becomes almost lyrical over the colours you'll be wearing. In keeping with the “little girl and school girl” theme, they are pure pastels. They range from a clear pink ( that proven flatterer) to sunny yellow. Cy¬ clamen and fuchsia retain their popu¬ larity, but the softer shades are a bit newer. There are luscious combinations to be achieved, almost good enough to eat. Try plum with pale green or baby blue with deep, deep lilac. Don’t be afraid of new colours . . . they’ll make you look in tune with the season. The casual observer will think you filched Grandmother’s jewel case when you appear with a large gold lock¬ et tied about your throat with a tiny black velvet ribbon. And don’t forget to try a coral bracelet for wrist decora¬ tion. If you can find a cameo among your treasures, let it nestle in the ruffles at the neck-line of your most frilly, feminine blouse. Don’t forget seed pearls . . . they are being seen in ear¬ rings, bracelets and necklaces. Edward Stevenson suggests you adopt the motto “break into print” this season, for prints are news. Ferdi¬ nand the Bull gallops gaily across the skirt of more than one frock, while bowls of goldfish, bars of swing music, and explosions of sky-rockets vie for spring honors.
