DAY LINES

here is an outline of

the new styles that will be worn in the coming season

CENERAL TREND: The simple, easy to wear line, following the natural structure of the body, is closely rivalled by a pre-war influence, with tunic tops and pannier skirts.

For day-time silhouettes

we have concentrated mainly on simple, easy lines, as being the most practical for the average wo- man, and, in the end, the most beautiful.

dresses

1 Of all logical lines for your winter dress, the double triangle is one of the simplest and most wearable. Accent on shoulder line, narrow- ing at the waist to the apex of the first triangle: out again, widening to the hem, the base of the second triangle. Emphasise this line on your wool or crepe dresses with bandings of velvet; or try padded scams, or bruid appliques.

2 Jumper top this is perhaps the most popular

of the new autumn lines: The jumper top. often beltless, often allied to a box pleated skirt as here in the sketch--you see-the-braid. appliques give it the effect of being striped ver- tically: it is equally new, and for the slim even more flattering, to have the bands going round the other way: one at the collar bone, one under

the bust, a third at the waist, a fourth marking the junction of "jumper and skirt."

3 Remember those bell-boy jackets?

Well,

now that becoming line is part of our winter dresses: the bell-boy top, no longer separate, is incorporated in slim dresses to accent the waist and bust. It is charming and youthful, but needs a slim figure. Have the top part in a contrast- ing colour or material from the skirt part- which must be moulded to give a princesse line at the waist--or mark the line of demarcation by piping, if you are short and cannot afford to cut your figure.
