Winter Prints Are Gay
Beneath Dark Coats
T Asst week we mentioned the
- important winter fashion Of
wearing q bright light" frock
beneath dark coat. This week
we are passing on an important
fashion item direct from New
York-the winter printSl
Right now. smart women are
beginning to wear these delight
full new winter prints The pat
terms have a bright, fresh look
that makes them extremely at
tractive as contrast to q dark
coat and accessories. OF course,
they are different from summer
prints. To begin with, they are
done on backgrounds that match
winter coats-black, and soft dark
greens, blues, reds and so forth.
Then, the prints are used in
border patternS-and the borders
are used to make elbow cuffs,
cowl necklines, whole sleeves,
deep yokeS. or tiny godets set in
near the hemline. The patterns
are really charming, most Of them
quite small-very dainty leaf pat
terms, single flowers, dots in
many sizes, or tiny bouquets.
There are some of the lovely
jacquard printS-a satiny motif
woven into the fabric, in the
same color as the background,
and contrasting printed pattern
in between. All of these are as
refreshing as q florists window.
And the styles, Of course, are the
newest in fashion. Most Of the
skirts are flared-but, with a
gentle, very gradual flare starting
just below the hipline. They're
smoothly fitted across the hips,
and often slightly blouSed above
the waistline. They have draped
necklines, draped hiplineS, pep
lumS, crossed over bodices, con.
traSting yokeS and cuffs.
For shopping, for luncheon en-.
gagementS, for business, for bridge
parties, we can't think Of any
thing that adds more color and
zest. They're especially nice for
travelling. In fact, they have
all the many uses that a summer
print has-pluS a few more uses
that exist only In winter time.
