A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
TNHERE is no denying the fact that
l. the best looking dresses made of jcr-
soy are those which are made very
simply. There is something about the
material which. somehow or other, does
not seem to lend itself to fussy design
ing. | have noticed that even the
frocks which are cxtravagantly en-
broidcrcd arc, for all of that, simple
in style. Then. too, jersey is not n
drcssy material. but for general wear
there is no material that will give the
wear or stand the strain of continual
usage as does good, firm piece of
jersey.
To my way of thinking, tho taupcs.
tanS and browns are by far the best
looking colors to select in jersey. for
either street suits or street dresses.
This is, however. only n matter of per-
Sonal opinion, and one may these days
get almost any color that strikes the
fancy. as we'll as black and white.
The dress shown in the sketch today
| is intended for the slender woman.
or tho miss. 1t is one of those straight
! line dresses which have been found
by women to be so comfortable. as
we'll rs becoming. provided the figure
is not stout. This dress is made of
lightweight jersey. very good for this
time of the year. and is made in brown
navy and taupc. The upper part of
the frock is cut with a yoke. both front
and back. The opening is at the back
and buttons trim the back from the
yoke to the hem yof the garment. Tho
| narrow neck binding. tic and small
cuffs are of a contrasting color of icr =
Soy. The sash is of the jersey and
crosses at the front and tics at the
center back.
Worn With this dress is one of the
smart little sailors of straw. The
! crown is banded with ribbon and small
ostrich tips decorate the hat Mt either
side at, tho back.
