NEW YORK, April 18-Theres
IN something springy about lin
gerie trimmings. Like crisp new
green tipping the branches of trees
Putting a certain zip in things.
And that's the way of the new
lingerie trimmed dresses. Not a lot
of trimming not full-blown
summertime but just quicken
ing touch or two.
In our news-ing about to see
what's doing, we've noticed that
these lingerie trimmings fall into
two classes: tailored, with clean
swept lines and a ready-for- business
air; and delicate, maybe with a
misty lace edge. both f1attering.
Tailored Lingerie Trim
The sketch, for instance, shows
you how tailored pique collar car
highlight a dress. Other dresses dc
it with round organdie collars
or sometimes with trim white
revers.
Revers may come in the delicate
category too. We saw a sheer crepe
dress with softly gathered georgette
reverS edged with lace.
A lacy collar frosted the neckline
of a print dress, with one end pulled
through a loop and finishing in E
little jabot effect.
The beauty of most of these
dresses is that you can use the
tailored lingerie trimmings witt
them just as we'll as the delicate.
Good for Business
Come to business, for instance, il
the dress with the pique surplict
collar. And go to dinner that eve.
ming in the same dress with a sof
organdie frill in place of the collar
