PLEATING AND DRAPING GAIN PROMINENCE
IN PARIS FASHIONS
lightweight wool
Trens has been given
particular prominence in the Paris spring and summer collections. This is due to two main factors. Firstly, the wool mills have succeed-
ed in increasing their ranges and reducing the weights of their fabrics, with the result that the current fine wool crepes and wool muslins can compete with any other lightweight fabric and yet still retain their obvious ad- vantages. The second is the great feeling for pleat ing and draping, a pro- minent feature of today's fashion; this is best inter- preted in a dress, rather than a suit or coat.
