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 on one shoulder and leave it at that.

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

Camellias or gardenlos, with their stiff, formal leaves, are the best Bowers for this idea, and it is best suited to a classic, rather severe, type | of frock.

2. Have you ever thought of

wearing flowers

the

back of your frock? They look particularly effective when you are dancing, and will keep fresh and unerushed the whale evening.

cut

If you've got a dress with a low- back wear a trailing spray

v

of flowers; if your dress has got a sash wear a Victorian pony right at the centre back. (Good on a frilly. Duty truck, this; not suitable for a formal, moulded dress,) Ask your Horist to make up the posy in as many eircles as possible, using all sorts of flowers and colours.

Short Skirt Revival

W

HISPERS 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, it some of the Parls dressmakers get their own way.

Many of the nikirts seen recently reached only to about three inches below the knee, and although many broke into loose pleats some could scarcely have been tighter without crippling the wearers,

for

However, those women who do not care for very short skirts can take comfort in the fact that Paris design- ers are sure whether to go all out

these shorter

orter skirts, which look so youthful that they will make any- one over thirty seem middle-aged, or to give us

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 scrap of superfluous material.

4.

If you're siim, you might try tucking a few flowers into your belt or sash: carnations or rosebuds would be best, for they won't crush. Experiment to find out which is the best place to put them- anywhere between centre front and the extreme side.

The same iden, not so now but neck- popular, is a awallan leta "Lel." This is a wreath worn round your neck, made of unusual flowers. Tiny everlasting flowers, dyed brilliant green, red, pink yellow, blue, violet, and white, for instance, look lovely on a black frock.
