Smart Street Frocks
for September
These early autumn dresses
have a tailored note and
they are pleasantly cool without being too summery
THE new clothes for those first autumn days have a casually tailored, non-chalant look about them. They're sure to find favour with the woman who takes her between-seasons wardrobe rather seriously.
The girl who has been away for her summer holidays will discover that her linens, cottons and washable silks are entirely out of the fashion picture. So, dabbing a bit of makeup on her suntanned skin, she hurries to the shaps to sea what can bo found in the way of a smart street dress that won't look too summery and yet, will be cool enough to make September's weather bearable. If she's a wise little shopper, she'll head straight for the "dark silk dresses" department.
There, to her heart's delight, she'll find navy blue, black, brown and dark green dresses which fill the bill. She may like the tuples-they're good this year-or the peplum models which give a one-piece frock that popular two-piece look.
Cont dresses are always in good taste but the girl who finds these extremely tailored types too severe for her can go in for the more feminine creations. Perhaps the capelet collars or the high plented and frilled collars will flattor her.
Alpaca is an ideal fabric to choose for the first dark
dress. It is light in weight, yet tailors perfectly and has the marked advantage that it is practically uncrushable. There are silk crepes, too, that look like novelty woollens but are much. cooler to wear. You will find these materials made into dresses with trib, slender lines, depending on an unusual scarf, decorative buttons or perhaps narrow white ruchings at the neck and cuffs for their distinction-and distinctive they are.
Once the street dress problem is out of the way, the smart woman goza on to the evening gown department and selects something to take the place of her sheer organdles, plaid ginghams and vaporous nets and to wear until it's cool enough to consider velvet, satin and heavy crepe, Laco is the answer. It's having quite a wave of popularity both in Paris and New York, and certainly is just the fabric for dinner and dancing at this time of year.
When an evening gown and a street dreas have been purchased, a woman can sit back and relax until it's time to buy an autumn suit and some frocks to wear under a lightweight cont
