Fresh Gay Chambray GARDENS OPEN

By PRUNELLA WOOD

Joan Norton Irwin

FLOWER tints in pedigreed cotton chambray make

the casunt frock for house or resort wear as pretty a possession as anything in the afternoon wardrobe.

This model can be had in solid colour cloth, or the single tone combined with white chambray that has a stripe of the colour. As sketched, the model is of salad green and white stripes with the shirred bedice and pockets in solid green. The waistband is of the striped material used horizontally. This model also comes in nursery blue and white and rosewood and white. It has the added charm of being made up as a mother-daughter item.
