Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAvMLE

This will be more than ever
a "dressmaker" season. A season
when clothes will fit better, will
have more intricate detail, will
have a more trimmed look. Be-
cause of these tendencies, it is
a good time to make your own
clothes. The materials are
easy to work on, sheer wool
crepes, canton crepe, lusterless
satin that hangs straight and
smooth. And, Of course, the
patterns are equally helpful in
creating a dress that looks as
smart as any you could get
ready made.
Paris Patterns
Color contrast is a dominant
theme in dresses of Ill types,
and it is so easy to have clothes
that fit into your wardrobe if
you make them yourself. You
can get the exactly right shade.
and you can combine difficult
colors that you could probably
never find already made up.
Some patterns are copies of
Paris frocks, so you are sure
of authentic styles. If you have
any temerity about selecting a
style from a pattern book, your
troubles are all over, for there
is a showing now in towr
where the clothes shown are
made up from patterns that
any of us buy and use, and
they show the new fabrics, too.

the costumes that are being

area with Government approval.
They were met on their re-

At the request of the Lind
