n ing a definitely feminine slant
IL to practically every type of
frock this season.
An excellent example of what hap
pens to plain dress when an afiuent
bow is attached at the right angle
is illustrated in this dressmaker S
version of the shirtwaist frock.
In itself this model is simple little
affair-so very much SO that the
novice at sewing will find it excep-
tionally easy to make. The lines are
softer than last years styles-straight
and slim, the skirt flares slightly at
the hemline in front.
Central SeamingS are Spring fea-
ture, and so are loose. three quarter
sleeves with saddle shoulders. Frocks
which are individualized by butterfly
trimming frequently show young
and flattering collar-the type that
takes years away from a woman's
appearance, regardless OF her figure.
Such a one is seen In this design.
An interesting feature of the new
Summer fashions is the use of taffeta
as a trimming on cottons. The mere
thought Of introducing this crisp, re-
freshing silk into the warm weather
