Lucky is the woman who can do her
own dressmaking in Grand Forks this
spring, for 1t is something very hard
to get done satisfactorily. There are
only a few dressmakers here and they
are engaged for weeks ahead. Right
now this city would easily support one
high class modiste establishment, for
not only is there a big field here, but
a wide expanse of surrounding coun-
try to draw from. There used to be
one or two first class dressmakers
here few years back. but they grad
| ually withdrew to larger fields in the
cities and since the advent of the tail
or-made suit for general wear we have
bad none here and we find on inquiry
that the average woman in Grand
Forks still clings to the TAILORED suit
because it is easy to obtain. Now,
though, styles are continually chang
ing and the more dressy gown than the
tailored suit prevails even for street
wear and 1T is style that takes the
expert modiste to fashion and fit prop
erly and trim artistically for this also
is an era of trimming of every kind
and description. A number of our
ladies go to the city once or twice
a year for gowns that would cheer
fully get them at home could they do
SO, and the majority stay at home and
put up with what they can get who
would gladly spend the money for
something better, could it be obtained
at home.
