Embroidery
Appears on
Dresses
BY WILMA LA VILE

You've probably noticed that
many fabrics for spring and
summer are more elaborate in
their texture, that an interest
ing surface often makes O
material popular that has no
other reason for distinction.
This texture interest brings q
return of all-over embroidered
materials to favor.
Embroidery appears on many
fabrics. It is equally good on
georgette, silk crepe, chiffon
and batiste. Many Of the new
silk or wooden suits have the
most adorable little embroidered
blouses, soft and frilly, entirely
feminine in their mood. OF
course the underlying reason
for this popularity Of en-
broideries is that they are fem
mime, and add formality to
fabrics, two Of the most i'm
portant trends in the mode.
Polka dots are the most popu.
lar type of embroidery, appear
ing In tiny dots such as dotted
Swiss, apd on other fabrics in
larger sizes. Batiste is usually
embroidered in small conven-
tional designs. flowers or broken
all-over effects. Chiffon often
takes a border design, or enl-
broidery merely used as trimming.
Eyelet embroidery is used on
chiffon, batiste and georgeGte.
These frocks may be made in
any small way, conforming, Of
course in their degree Of for
mality to the occasion for
which they are to be worn.
The frocks we are sketching
illustrate two popular types.
The jacket suit is in red and
white, red dots on white for
the blouse, white dots on red
for the skirt and jacket. It Is
for spectator sports, country
club wear, or general summer
daytime use. It is very striking
in the way it uses the two col
ors. The other frock is Of linen
blue chiffon. dotted In white.
1t is a charming frock for
afternoon or informal evsning
wear. with its cape that forms
a semblance of sleeves, the nat
ural waistline and feminine fun
skirt.
Another popular type which
we are not sketching, but
which is also available In
Washington stores Is the street
suit of navy georgette. dotted
in white. It is often made
with three-quarter or long coat,
and is exceedingly smart and
practical for midsummer wear.
On Monday Miss La Vile
will discuss colOrs for summer.
She will be glad to answer
any questions about these ar
ticles, or help you with your
fashion problems, II you will
