CHARMING FROCKS FOR CHILDREN
TUB DRESSES
IN homes where there are children
pattern books and swatches of Various fabrics are being studied.

Real tub frocks should be made as simply as possible. No frills and fussy piecas, or lace and rib bons. The simpler they are the better for washing, drying and quick ironing.

An extremely simple and sensible style for washing frocks is a per fectly straight ons without a joke, It is drawn in at the neck with a tie of the same fabric. Tiny shout der, capes, with a pleat in the cen tre, cover the tops of the armas.
The pattern of this is only just aut.
