Think Now
Of Fall
Outfit
By Wilma La Vile

It's not too early to be think.
ing about fall dresses. If you're
going away it's wise to buy a
dark dress made on new lines.
Many girls going off to school
are already looking at fall
clothes and even some of us
who are not going away are
preparing for fall.
Several shops have advance
collections that are typical of
the frocks that are coming
later. They are very charming
with their long, graceful lines
and they are also very wear
able.
We saw two today that Illus
trates variations of the fall
silhouette. They both give the
effect of a tunic or peplum.
One is slightly flared and the
other is straight, with fullness
achieved in a very restrained
manner by means of pleating.
One pin-dotted frock illus
trates many important points
about dresses for fall. It's of
a dull crepe, called travel crepe.
It's silhouette is slim and wear
able. It's pleating is very new,
on tunic and skirt. It COM
bines a dark color with white,
which is also smart. This time
it's navy with tiny dots of
white.
The other frock is of brown
dull crepe with embroidery of
gold in a conventional design
that is unobtrusive. It's color
is smart, as is the use of egg
shell crepe for collar and vestee.
OF course its silhouette with low
placed peplum is also impor-
tant. It flares slightly below
the peplum. ,
Both these frocks are mex
pensive, as we'll as smart and
wearable, and they are both
from a Washington shop.

What's in Fashion?
Smart Fall Dresses Help the Large Figure
Directed by AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-For
q long time Fashion has been
growing more thoughtful Of the
woman who's stout. But Fash
ion has never been as thought
full as 1t Is this Fall.
Not only are there dozens OF
cuts and trimmings that help
the larger figure look smaller
but every one of these
details Is fashionable in regu-
lar size dresses.
Larger women's fashions are
no longer obviously larger wom-
ems fashions. They're just like
fashions for anybody else.
You're going to see lots Of
Surplice lines this fall. Those
diagonal right-to-left-or left
to-right-cloSing lines that have
such a graceful, long, down
ward sweep.
You'll see them In thin little
Sub-debs' dresses +" in slim
women's dresses. And every
large woman knows how they
help her figure. Both the
dresses sketched have them.
Fashionable skirts, already
long land this length helps
the larger WON ma e
straighter this fall. And that's
good news for the plump figure.
She doesn't have to give a bell
shaped flare to her figure to be
in fashion.
But these straighter skirts
have just as much fullness in
them. And that's good news,
too. Larger women tell us they
like the fashionable. fullness.
It's so much more comfortable.
It's still there. But in pleats
that keep straight lines. Or in
very gently flared godets placed
nearer the front to keep the
sides straight. You can see this
straighter skirt in both
sketches.
Fashionable Vestees
Vestees are very much in fall
fashion. They're set into

the sketch at the right
it's doubly becoming.
Wrap-ArOund Skirts
Wrap-around skirts. That's
a very fashionable dress idea.
They can be adjusted to any
girth. They don't pull and
strain when you sit down.
One of these is illustrated in
the dress at the left. -.
The dress with contrasting
trimming is going to be one Of
the most popular dresses of all
falls new ones. And this ought
to be a dress the larger
woman will like.
Because this contrasting trim
can be applied to make the long
up-and-doWn lines that give
height to the figure. Or to
make an interesting accent at q
spot where you want the eye
drawn.
Put these fashionable dress
details into the fashionable dull
surfaced materials and
you have a combination that's
sure to make the large woman
very smart looking this fall.
