New Frocks Featuring
Braidwork, Embroidery
An interesting thing about this sea
son's print frocks is that they are
styled in such versatile ways in
troducing new silhouettes that give
zest to the mode. A glowing in
stance of the trend to launch “some
thing new” and strikingly distinc
tive in styling technique for the
summer print is seen in the attrac
tive model pictured. In this gown
selected from a collection of mid
summer styles by Chicago Fashion
Industries the emphasis is on a nar
row silhouetted skirt contrasted by
a decided tunic flare about the hips.
This lovely-lady print frock will
be outstanding wherever it goes.
Braidwork and embroidery is be
ing artfully featured on thin spun
rayon dresses also summer jacket
suits. The modes are in lovely pas
tels or even more to be admired—
subtle off-whites. Enormous patch
pockets, all-over braided in exact
tone of the dress, are seen on many
a stunning frock. Sometimes the
bow tie at the throat also is cor
respondingly braided. Too lovely for
words are frocks of fine chambray,
the jackets or bodice tops of which
are all-over braided in white.
Broomstick Skirts
One of the biggest fads of the sea
son in the campus group is the
broomstick skirt. Girls with an eye
to fashion and thrift are making
their own this summer. The skirts
are usually made of pastel chintz,
but any light-weight curtain mate
rial will do. Another trick is to
seam two large print squares to
gether, gathering the top into a belt.
