FROCK FROM. SIMPLE PATTERN
Simple, yet dressy — and oh. so wearable! Here’s proof again, that
Marian Martin knows how to design for you Just the kind of easy
to-make frocks your Fall wardrobe needs! See how gracefully the
shirring (very 1935!) follows the rounded outline of the collar . . .
how alluringly the sleeve fulls out above the slim wrist ... how richly
the gold filagree buttons set off that simple blouse panel. To cap
the climax, you’ll easily find Just the soft silk In glorious colorings that
this frock requires. Say a purple corded silk crepe, as shown. Or any
of the new novelty silks or sheer crepes that are supple enough to shir
well. Pattern comes liPMms 13 to 30 and SO to 40.
To get Pattern H9602, send 15c to The Brownsville Herald Pattern De
