Five new ways

of wearing

flowers...

HE old-fashioned way of wearing flowers on a frock was to pin a spray of orchids or carnations

Tfrock

Nowadays you've got to be far more original, both in the flowers you choose and in the way you wear them. Here are some unusual and effective ideas you might try.

1. One of the asweat designs

is the crescent, which con- xists of three or five blooms, equally spaced in a wide crescent, pinned across the decolletage of a frock.

Camellias or gurdenias, with their stiff, formal leaves, ure the best flowers for this idea, and it is best suited to a clussle, rather severe type ut fruck.

2. Have you ever thought of wearing flowers on the back-of-your-frock? They-look- particularly effective when you are dancing and will keep fresh and uncrushed the whole evening.

If you've got a dress with a low- cul back wear a trailing spray of flowers; if your dress has got a j sash wear a Victorian pusy right at the centre buck.

ick, (Good on a frilly, Huffy frock, this; not suitable for is formal, inoulded dress) Ask your florist to make up the posy In as many circles as possible, using all sorts of flowers and colours.

Short Skirt Revival

WHISPERS concerning the trend of

fashion for 1938 are interesting. Some women will be pleased to hear that shorter and tighter skirts will be our lot, if some of the Paris dressmakers get their own way.

Many of the skirts seen recently reached only to about three inches below the knee, and although many broke into loose

could pleats some scarcely have been tighter without crippling the wearers.

However, those

ose women who do not care for very short skirts can take comfort in the fact that Paris design- ers are sure whether

go all out for these shorter skirts, which look su youthful that they will make any- one over thirty seem middle-aged, or to give us another chance to wear dresses of a more becoming length. While some obviously want to stick to wider skirts a little longer, others are anxious to cut out every serap of superfluous material.
