1t May Look Like d Burlap Bag,
But Its Lines Are Really Greek

A curious onepiece dress made re-
Gently by the Flambeau Weavers. a
group of art enthusiasts. is causing
considerable discussion among the de-
signers of womens clothes.
This quaint garment suggests an
adaptation Of a burlap bag to the ext
gencies Of war economy, but it is not
considered seriously as prophetic in
Just this way
IL Is merely reproduction OF the
original one-pece dress as invented
and worn by the ancient Greeks.
The material is hand woven and
the decoration is done in tapestry
stitch, while the long warp is oddly
arranged as shoulder straps.
The desig is very interesting not
only because it proves the antiquity
OF the barrel silhouette. but also be-
cause it indicates tendency TO clas-
sic simplicity as a pronounced feature
of coming fashions.
