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 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.
