An e x c e p tio n a lly (his year's fabrics lack W HAT in variety and novelty is made up for in color, serviceability and pattern interest, to which add the clever self-fabric manipulation by designers, who are displaying utmost resourcefulness in creating stun­ ning fashions out of simple depend­ ably wearable materials. Not all fabrics are available these days. Silk is about out of the pic­ ture and supplies of velvet are lim ­ ited. So it is up to wools, rayons and cottons to rise to occasion, which they have most gallantly, taking care of the situation beautifully throughout every phase of fashion. Especially noteworthy is this year’s output of rayon fabrics which includes weaves that tune to every fashion demand from sturdy made-for-hard- wear types to dressy and glamour types. An early fall star is spun rayon gabardine. This fabric is being used for intriguingly tailored sports dresses and suits, in soft pastels and bright shades. Spun rayon flannel is also a popular fall and winter fabric for dresses and soft tailored suits. It is especially chic in chalk stripes and plaids. Incidentally light-background plaids are newest and are preferred this year. Blends of spun rayon and wool in dress weights are being used for those warm dresses done in pastels and high shades, which so definitely fill a winter need. Another inter­ esting fabric for warm dresses is brushed jersey. This looks like duvetyn and has lovely drape and comfort. The outstanding dressier rayons are mossy crepe, rayon faille, moire and jersey. Strictly in the running as to style are the drape dresses, which make striking color contrast their theme. The attractive model to the left in the illustration brings the jumper frock of your school days up-to-date in that it boldly contrasts one color against another. Dark New Silhouette green with lime is a delight to the eye. Black used with Cherbourg blue is ever so smart and you will like Parma blue with deep purple. Centered in the group is a rayon faille frock that’s one of those sophisticate - simplicity types that young girls adore. I t ’s the sort that will make your G I Joe’s heart go double time. The lowcut square neck­ line is the very essence of flattery. Its flared skirt is grace itself and the three-quarter sleeves call atten­ tion to your pretty hands. It is per­ haps smartest in black but you'll love it in a delectable color, too. Rayon failles are also important for dressmaker suits made eye-appeal­ ing with sparkling Jeweled buttons. While limited in quantity there are some dressier rayons shown with ‘‘pattern interest.” These include jacquards especially smart for dressy blouses and evening wraps also mattelasses and moires and some very lovely pastel brocades for waistcoats. A dressy junior style done in young and gay jersey is pictured to the right. It is starred with gold nail- heads for glamour. The fashion moguls predict this will be a favorite for those moments when you want to dress up—yet be not too dressy. To make the most of a limited supply of rayon satins and rayon velvets, designers are using‘ these fabrics as trimmings in way of bows, insets and m idriff yokes to highlight plain wool and crepe dresses. This year’s rayons are especially designed for good service. Many of the fabrics are washable and have been tested for color and other quali­ ties. The best way of *finding out about washability and other service qualities is to look for informative labels on dresses and fabrics. Pattern No. 8674 comes in sizes 11. 12. 13. 14. 16 and 18.

They are being so richly bejeweled and embroidered they reflect a look of medieval splen­ dor. When you wear one of these luxury belts with your simple black dress you need not another trimming accent. In the new collections you will come across such eye-intriguing types as the belt of purple velvet that is embroidered with gold thread and tiny white pearls, a scroll work being applied in gold kid. Colorful stones with gilt embroidery give to a black suede belt a precious an­ tique look. Beauvais embroidery is a young way of adding dressiness to colored suede belts. A cummer­ bund style in bright green has a pink and green floral motif. Of course these belts come in the luxury class but any woman or girl who can sew and has creative talent can buy a simple velvet, ribbon or suede belt and- enrich it with intriguing em­ broidery and various artful accents.
