The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-30

1ne copper room or the Hotel Elton was filled yesterday after noon with guests who gathered for the bundle tea and fashion show sponsored by the Waterbury Junior League. The colorful background of the surroundings interspersed with lighting effects effectively mixed with the gay prints and soft shaded ensembles shown during the show.
 The style showing was under the direction of the Margaret Bowling Dress Shop. Miss Bowling gave complete description of each frock worn by the models. Sport dress and street frocks were displayed during the opening period of the show featuring redingotes, shirt waist frocks, floral designs and polka dots in silk and crepe com- binations, chiffons and cottons. As feature of the display was the new cruislane material which is non- Wrlnkable and washable. Apparel worn by the junior model has special appeal for the audience with a dirndl frock with quilted jacket and zazuska as one of the high lights and fitted blue suit trimmed with red heart buttons as another feature for juniors. A showing of dresses suitable for afternoon wear and evening gowns for the spring also added to the afternoons pro- gram. Lace, chiffons and mousel- line de soie were included in the evening attire.
 Taking the spotlight from time to time during the afternoon the children modelling what the well dressed youth will wear for spring were enthusiastically received by the audience.
