SCENE FROM THE DRESS

Short Skirts by Day-

68

O-DAY is not only the opening of the British Industries Fair, of which t beautifully staged fashion parade is one of the most interesting features, but also during the coming weeks dress parades will be held in the West End of London by many fashion houses.

Our artist has sketched a scene. at one, where fashionably gowned women and eager buyers from the big stores watch and criticise the possible popularity of new mat- erial or a changed, slihouette.

For day wear the short skirt cut with almost peneli atraightness is accepted by the majority of fash;- lon makers.

These Are topped by short Jackets that it into the gure and by means of darts or other tailor- ing secrets a high shapely bust Hine is inferred.

HE wrap-over cont frock is also given a friendly welcome back. One that received great applause was in black davetyn with tiny multi- coloured florets scattered all over. It was cut with a fitting back and

a double-breasted front with but- tons and revers. The shoulders" were widened and the sleeves puffed to end at the elbow.

Spring coats follow this chic line too-wide revered, high shoul- dered, collared and with a slight spring from the waist. Dark materials with a touch of vivid colour or gold kid are pretty usual for smart town day wear.

·More everydayish are tweeds and light-weight wools In rather glaring colours. With black dresses, gipsy scarves are knotted to give the effect of a high neckline,

Ears must be seen again, but not unadorned. Large stud car-rings, not flat ones, but marble-like balls, alternate with long pendant-like ornamenta in paste or marcasite.

Now for the afternoons. A long cont over a flower printed frock will be an almost standardised outfit.

The patterns are not limited to flowers either; already I have seen notes of music, deer heads, market baskets, lighted cigarettes, harps, and love messages printed on to silks and satins. Some are printed. others are painted. The painting is newer, and I um told it wit wash.
