Evening star., 1936-01-22
-sketched in a Washington Shop

that it Is an authentic screen star
style and will be shown here in Wash
ington in forthcoming picture.
Another feature which would in
itself recommend the dress to wide
circle of careful shoppers, is a new
adjustable placket that eliminates ur-
slightly gaps and at the same time
provides a better At with less altera-
tions The placket is inches wide
instead of the usual skilnpy width, so
that, if by any chance it becomes un-
fastened, there will be no light slip
showing through.
The shop that has this dress be-
lieves that this line is exclusive with
them. Another model, also in screen
star style, is a navy blue sheer with
narrow, round, turnover collar over
double jabot of blue. The long sleeves
are set into a very wide shoulder, and
there is wide front panel of pleating
on the front Of the skirt.
THE same shop has splendid dress
in half-sizes, 16iz to 24l2. in navy
and black sheer that is very smart
d1lu uOCS IlOt 4i IllC ACdSt oQSeCob a
matronly type. Its v neck is flanked
on either side by rounded lapel made
of narrow white braid that goes round
and round. A covered cord with rhine
stone ball ends makes front finish.
The sleeves have tricky opening for
the hands to come through on the
side, Japanese fashion. The skirt has
narrow front cores. This frock is rea-
sonably priced at $13.95.
The best print in this shop has
background of crushed raspberry with
closely covered pattern of black. 1t
might be called "the bow DRESS" with
its big bow that ties up the draped
shoulder yoke and another silk bow
that ties through the black suede belt.
The sleeves are very full and hang
straight.
THE best print in another shop is
long, scrolly interviewer leaf
pattern combining raspberry and
lighter red, blue, black, green and
white. Blue seems to predominate, so
two large and important tassels of blue
suede are used to give finish to the
neck and two more appear on the belt.
They also feature Jordan almond
pastels in a number Of designs in this
shop. Pleats being awfully good, we
were attracted by a navy sheer made
entirely of knife pleating with the
exception of plain yoke and the col
lar and front closing. The pointed
collar has fiat bouquet of felt flowers
in bright colors on one side matching
similar little flower finish on the
belt. The V-neck is built up with an
inside vestee of white that Is detach-
able. Rows of stitching hold down
the pleats for a short distance on the
short sleeves and on the upper portion
of the skirt. Except for the shorter
sleeves, this Is the kind of frock that
knows no season. and will give lots
and lots Of service.
WE HAVE noticed the combination
of brown with various greens
both in prints and plains. A good one
is brown dull finish crepe with turn
over collar fastening in back, and
deep turn-back cuffs of green anad
brown print. Three stiff little brown
stitched bows accent the front of the
blouse and center tucks from neck to
hem show bit of the print between
them, suggesting redingote effect.
A redingote dress in black COM
bined with a print Of green and white
daisies on black Is model that will
appeal to the woman. Its big features
are jabot neck with the jabot
slaShed at center front to show a
line of buttons close together. Another
line of buttons appears on the skirt
and farther down a wide slash shows
the print pleated beneath. The
straight sleeves are faced with the
figured silk at the bottom.
