BY WINDY WINDELL
The other day I came across
a collection of musty old Godey’s
Lady’s Book and Magazines!
They’re from out of the dark
past and at first I thought, as
I flipped through them, how
odd the styles looked—how dif¬
ferent from modern dress. But
alas! I looked again, and found
they are not so different after
all. For instance I ran across
last century’s version of “the
slim look,” and give or take a
little, here and there, I do bel¬
ieve it could be adapted to our
latest fashion rage—‘‘the slim
look.*
Are big skirts and bustles
about to make a comeback? It
appears so, if fashion experts
have their way. The National
Cotton Council has put a group
of the experts to work on a col¬
lection of historical cotton cos¬
tumes that will be presented in
a spectacular show in Vienna
this fall. The costumes in¬
dicate that feminine fashions
have been repeating themselves
in 50-years cycles. If this trend
continues, the next few years
should see a return to the big-
skirted look of the mid-18th and
mid 19th centuries.
So ladles—don’t be to hasty
getting rid of that ‘‘junk” you’ve
got stored away in some for¬
gotten trunk. For all we know,
some of those things may look
like a Dior original—with a
little pressing and a snip here
and there.
The people who have charge
of sponsoring the Vienna show,
say the collection demonstrates
what appears to be an accele¬
rating rhythm in the way fash¬
ions come and go.

SLIM LOOK—Like history, fashion repeats itself. So say
fashion experts working on a collection of historical r-vtton
costumes that will be presented in a spectacular shwW in
Vienna this fall. These dresses, styled a century and a half
apart, exemplify the “slim look.” Drawing at left shows high-
waisted Empire dress of cotton percale and batiste, dating
from 1819. Paisley-printed cotton dress at right was introduced
by American designer Mildred Orriek in 1958.

evolved. Here is the way this
phenomenon seems to work.
Slim at the commencement of
the centuries, dresses grow in¬
creasingly big-skirted in the
middle years. As the century de¬
clines, the slender silhouette
returns.
History shows that women
started becoming really fashion
conscious about 1550 in Tudor
England, after a long period of
relative ^y static styles based on
class distinctions. With the rise
of the middle class, newly-rich
iladies saw a change to flaunt
their wealth through brilliant
finery.
And the cycle repeated from
slim to buffount right on up to
1947—when Christian Dior un¬
veiled his wide—skirted New
in 1947. Just nine years
later, the chemise seemed to re¬
verse the trend and to further I
confuse us, in 1957 came the’
The slim, next high-busted Empire few bustles, line, j
years a
appeared and this year, Dior’s •
accessor, Ives St. Laurent, re¬
vived the hobble skirt.
Where are we heading? No
sage is wise enough to foretell;
but it looks as though fashion,
like history, is destined to re¬
peat itself.
