There are some smart women
who still go to a dreSSmaker
for their clothes. So many Of
us have bought our clothes
ready-made for so long that
we've almost forgotten the eX-
istence of dressmakers, and
have forgotten that there are
also a large number of women
who are clever enough with
their needle to make their own
clothes, and make them so
beautifully that they have none
of that homemade" look that
made so many women desert
their own sewing machine in the
first place. There are many ar
guments in favor of dress
making. and perhaps it's a good
time to review them. especially
if we are having a bit of
trouble finding just the right
thing to buy.
Quality Returning
This is a season OF clothes
that fit perfectly. that have to
look like they we're made for
you whether or not. 1t is also
an era of hand work, not >only
of trimming but of plain hand
sewing, finishing all important
seams and all edges that show.
Then, too, it's a time of many
inexpensive clothes when good
frock shows up like a sudden
flare of light. when quality is
as conspicuous as any other
feature. and of course we can
get more hand touches. more
quality in anything made at
home. than we can ready.made

for the same price. Then, too,
it's a season of contrasting
colors and fabrics when we may
possibly be able to use some
small pieces of fabric that we
have, by combining them with
cloth of another color.
For More Variety
It's often easier to get the
variety you want by having
things made. There is the very
new and smart suit of con-
trasting material, checked
jacket made to wear with a
plain skirt you already have.
Or you can have a couple of
extra little dresses made very
inexpensively to wear under
your ensemble coat. Or you
can run them up yourself, for
in this day of bias cut, when
things fit more easily than they
look like they will. and when
sleeves may be finished with
an elastic and pushed up. it's
really not so hard to make a
dress. So if you're having shop
ping difficulties. remember
good dressmaker or try your
own clever fingers at it, and
see your problems vanish. We
have Sketched some good pat
terms that may give you sug-
gestions, available at down
town stores.
