THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdoy, August 29, 1961 © Two-Piece Look Fashion Factor The {wo piece look is in- fluencing fall fashions every- where, even among the sub-teen set. Many back-to-school dresses are either 2-piece or belted low for the same effect; creating a line that is both relaxed and 'young. Some dress styles are dis- pensing entirely with the waist- line for even greater freedom. Most have low-flare or low- pleated skirts with the accent on mobility. Jumpers are also taking on the low-waisted look, with pleats or flare often starting at the hip. Popular fabrics for back-to- school are home-spun cotton, slubbed synthetics, cotton tick- ing, corduroy, denim, cotton knit and wool or wool blends. Colozs are bright . . . and plaid, a perennial favorite, is very much in view again. Coats for back-to-school are designed to go everywhere this fall, from everyday school to Sunday school. "Suburban" type fabrics such as cotton suede cloth, laminated poplin, twill and corduroy, give the fall coat a new sportswear look well- suited to the subteen's casual way of life. Fake fur (and the real thing too), is seen frequently on col- lars or fashioning the coat it- self. : In raincoats, fabrics run the gamut from pile-lined silk ot poplin and corduroy. Styles in- clude the classic raglan sleeve topcoats, belted trench-coats and cape-collars. The exciting inside story is one of bright cot- ton novelty print, striped taffeta or pile linings. Some pile linings zip-out for lighter-weight wear, Jackets and bulky sweaters feature hoods and pile linings for nippy days, follow the new sportswear look trend.
