Sweater fashion of 1955

 



The staple woolen sweater is turning up this season in some surprising new shapes and guises. The most startling sweater is the floor length evening dress which is made by elongating a cardigan or pull-over . These comfortable sweater dresses are worn mostly for entertain. ing at home as a change from the familiar at-home pants. They also pro. vide a way of showing off a bathing suit figure in midwinter. In addition to these skinny indoor styles, the bulky sweaters popular on football benches in the 20s are appearing as top-heavy fall wraps.
