There’s an ultra-polished model for informal evenings (dancing and that sort of thing), called the “Good-night frock.” Then there’s the more home-loving “Good morning” number, and, to com plete the trio, a swell little after noon frock for tea-time goings-on. Why not spend happy days ahead in these very frocks? All you need do, you know, is to Sew, Sew, Sew- Your-Own! Spring Frock. The girl who has a flare for streamlining will see at once that the frock at the left is meant for her—just for her. She will make it of satin if she’s thinking ahead to Spring; of wool if her mind is on the present or near future. She will puff the sleeves gently, give the girdle tie a fair but firm snug- ging-up, adjust the chic cowl neck —and she’ll be something lovely to look at. Yes, Milady, this is the “Good-night frock” and if it’s the last thing you do, you must add it in your new wardrobe. To Start the Day. When you greet the little family with that bright and cheery “Good morning,” be sure your frock re flects an equally sweet note. Sew- U hjc L b Phil An Account They Cherish Your-Own’s most assuring num ber to this end is pictured above center. With a copy or two in gay gingham or seersucker you’ll breeze through your day’s work like nobody’s business. The shirt waist styling offers style and com fort that make this your best bet for early season’s wear. A Go-Gittin’ ” Style. And for a charming “Good afternoon,’’ choose a frock with plenty on the personality side. Such is the new young model at the right. Buttons in a line down the front tell you in so many dots and dashes that here you have “go-gittin’ ” style for Spring, 1938. Princess lines cared for fastidiously by a belt, and a collar with much of what it takes—these are things that prompt Sew-Yo-ur-Own to put this frock in its Fashion-First Re view for the Spring season.
