The 1945 campus style centers on cotton velveteen and plush with wide-ware textures and corduroy. Attractive coats and suits in velveteen and plush dominate, with pedal-pushers in pin-wale corduroy and mix-and-match jackets and skirts for day and date wear.
The article describes a purple wool fall costume by designer Joe Copeland aimed at a patrician slim silhouette. It notes a high necked bodice extending into a deep point, side puckering for a form fitting effect, and a trend of neck lace and bracelet embroidery creating a jewelry look on the fabric. East Indian embroidery adds pearls and gold to the necklace on the cap sleeved dress and the bolero bracelet.
A new fashion directive favors rounded forms in costume design. Soft shoulders provide a different silhouette from last year, with curved side fastenings draped in rounded sweeps. Yokes become rounded and hips curve out while waists pull in, matching the season’s curved contour trend.
This season belts dominate as eye catching show pieces with jewel work and metal embroidery reaching baroque splendor. Designers pair a striking jeweled belt with a simple black gown, minimal accessories, and a single bracelet. Cor sel et midriff treatments on formal dresses feature rich jewelry embroidery.
Striped jersey fabrics in wool or rayon are rising in use for teens and professionals. The bright stripe patterns suit school jackets and skirts, and cardigan blouses for career wear.
