FARMAR

& ROBB SEND THEIR FOURTH REPORT ON THE PARIS SPRING DRESS SHOWS

HE more dressy day clothes (that

Tfrom habit we go on calling

we do not buy them for a special time, but for a certain type, of day-when we want to look up to an occasion) are mainly messy, over-trimmed.

To soften this brutal comment I'll admit there are still some designers of important re- pute who have not yet shown their collections

so there is still hope..

But meantime I can only tell you of what I've seen about eight famed collections-and all, when they get away from the main tailored day-time line, let the trend towards embroidery, stitching, and fancy borders litter up and obscure the main outline of the dress.

Feminine Fripperies

H

-ERE are some examples of the sort of thing I mean, which I do not believe you will like any more than I do. Bead embroidery, baskets of flowers, old world and all that, covering (in more than one dress) the front of a bodice; flamboyant bouquets worked above a pocket that is made of a composition stuff intended to look like real basket-work.

--Flower-cut-outs-stitched-one-by-one-(at least this fashion must make for overtime in the workrooms) on to a dress that is already buzzing with intricacies.

4 Fancy borders, to hem-lines and sleeves; bands of embroidered net edging silk dresses; scrolled outlines, of lacquered piping; bands of different colours but in the same fabric; trellis ings of piping.

Once admitting then that the main trend in the more dressed-up day clothes is hardly likely to be taken up by the many of us, we can pick around for the more restrained, less typical, but at least wearable details...

Sleeveless jackets with close fitting arm- holes and cut so that, while close on the shoul- ders, the jacket springs out back and front, to high waist length, will be useful in late spring. Some are in fur, others hand-tufted. wool (widely meshed, between the tufts; here's

a craft I'll have to teach you), or silk.

Draped sleeve lines-especially for short ones. Neat new sleeve that parts on the

shoulder to show folded bands of contrasting colour between front and back of bodice. Freak Patterned Silks

(TUFFS: Wool and cotton lace used in good strong colours; stout alpacas for dressy overcoats; the usual summer floral silks, but this time in more vivid and smaller flowerings; a new so far unnamed weave of silk that is coarse, rather like linen, dull glazed; to-be-expected freak patterned silks; coils of bright yellow rope on black; tiny prancing while stags on blue; in fact, all kinds of animals, vegetables (including radishes), street scenes, and churches (quite a spate of tourist pictures).

Consoling comment: As most of us are more concerned with all-day clothes, it doesn't much matter that the more formal frivolities are disappointing in design. The silhouette is becoming, the materials good. We can for- get the trimmings.
