Washington Fashions
In this season of femininity,
when every soft dressmaker
touch makes a dress smart,
there is one newest lingerie de
tail that stands out above the
others, and that is Irilsh lace.
You remember it from years
ago perhaps, but you haven’t
seen much of it for a long time.
Lace for a Lady
Irish lace is used to good ad
vantage on the dress we have
sketched today. It is a wide,
beautiful quality, white on black,
which is still a favorite fashion
theme. It is placed on white
organdie, which gives a crisp,
fresh look to the dress. Notice
that it makes flaring cuffs for
the sleeves, but that it is set
back nearly to the elbow, which
serves a double purpose of giv
ing smart elbow width, and of
keeping away from the wrist
so that it will keep clean
longer.
Double Duty Dress
The dress is made of the
newer, heavy, supple, flat
crepe. When bias dresses first
became the rage, the flat crepe
then being used wasn’t heavy
enough to hang well, so a new
type has been developed, and it
is used in this dress. You can
see how beautifully straight it
hangs, though it is cut on the
bias. The dress is simple, as it
should be, for the lace is
enough trimming. This dress
is formal enough for luncheon
and for many afternoon occa
sions. but it is also practical
for shopping or business, as it
is simple and dark, and the
white touches may be easily
kept clean. It is moderately
priced in a downtown store.
