STYLED Merchandise

How can you tell well-styled mer-
chandise? Here are . few things to
look for:
/. SimpNcity-This does not mean
lack Of detail. But it does mean no
gingerbread-no weird changes Of
fabric to use up odds and ends-no
gewgaws put there to distract the
eye from sleazy fabrics, no fancy
trimming to cover tho designers
shortcomings.
2. Waistlines-Make sure they
really At.
3. Necklines-Demand that your
necklines make q design without
benefit Of scarfs .or collars.
4. Cuns-The best-tailored suits
have none. (And it's quite . trick
designing . sleeve without one)
S. Color-1nsist upon clear colors
or soft OF shades.

Wool limitations of fur exist Il
undiscriminating. Fur, Of course.
grows naturally out Of q pelt while
wool limitations are nothing but
cloth.
Watch for such limitations of Per-
sian and caracul. Cloth limitations
also are made Of leopard and baron
duki, with the spots and stripes
printed on. And plush initiates the
rabbit family.
But such limitations would rarely
deceive even q child.
Among real furs there are sepa-
rate standards of quality for each
individual breed, but few general
rules hold good for all.
l. Old skins are inferior because
with age the natural oils dry out
and the pelts crack.
Cold storage In summer retards
this aging process.
z. Luxuriance or thickness OF hair
is desirable.
3. The finer the texture in any
given breed, the better the quality.
4. Natural luster Is desirable.
This should not be confused with
synthetic luster achieved by dyes.
5. Brown dyed furs usually are
inferior to natural brown ,furs be-
cause with age the dye tends to turn
red.
Alaska seal is an exception to this
rule because II Ia dyed by q special
process.
6. Dyed long -haired furs are In
ferior to natural long-haired furs
because the dye makes the long
hairs brittle (like dyed human hair)
50 that such furs don't wear well.
7. The paws of an animal are in
ferior to the rest Of the pelt.
So a coat of chinchilla paws Is
technically chinchilla, but an In
ferior grade.
8. Beware of skins that are heavy
for their breed. They probably are
pieced skins.
DO not confuse heaviness with
thickness of the fur itself.
8. In fur garments, the better
skins are matched, the better the
quality.
This means matching coloring,
thickness of fur, length Oh fur.
markings Gas in mink or leoparO {,
curl (as in Persian lamb, or pattern
Gas in broadtaiD. so that the coat
or cape or collar looks all OF q piece.
10. Collars of perishable furs
should be set back from the neck
to protect the fur from wear.
JeweIry
Uncut Jewels are valued according
to beauty, TRANSPARENCY, hardness
and rarity. Beauty implies color.
You viii find that diamonds may
be black. blue or yellow as well as
white; rubies pale pink as well as
red, and 80 on. -
such freak shades of these stones
are valuable chiefly because OF their
rarity.
All four precious stones, emeralds.
rubies, sapphires, and diamonds, are
transparent, hard and extremely
rare as compared to semi-precious
stones.
In cut stones the expertness Of the
cutting influences the quality.
Lace
Here we have q situation some
thing Ike that Of silk and rayon.
Reai lace Is made by hand, imitation
lace by machine. Many limitations
are in GOOD standing today.
ANTIQUE laces, like any antiques,
come high. But antiques are tricky.
Always consult IN expert to de-
Evening star., 1939-04-03

termine whether or not q piece of
lace is really antique
Real lace outwears machine made
lace many times over and has a
freehand look that gives 1t greater
beauty than machine lace.
On the other hand, it hasn't the
crispness of machine-ma0e lace,
which is often starched
So, for the purpose Of chic, good
machine lace may be preferable. Also
machine lace may come in more
modern patterns.
But when 1t does initiate the tra-
ditional laces, it should be made to
look as much like the real thing as
possible-reproduce an authentic
pattern in the thread proper to that
type of lace.

General Quality


The more work there is or a
garment. the better, provided 1t is
good work. Here's what to look for:
l. Seams-Raw seams are worst,
notched seams better and French
seams best.
In gloves, turned-in seams are
desirable In thin feathers.
In heavier feathers, pique sewing
Is desirable or hand stitching is
better yet.
2. Hems-Hand- rolled hens or
hens finished with ribbon are good
workmanship.
3. Buttonholes-Ha but
tonholes are good.
But tailored ones that look NOR
ticed in are better.
4. Stitching always gives away
cheap work.
It must be straight and true.
5. Pockets-Set-in pockets are
better than patch pockets unless the
latter have hand-stitching.
8. Buttons-Covered buttons are
always an indication of good work.
manship.
Z. Zippers are better than hooks
and eyes for plackets because they
give better fit.
8. Finishing and handwork-
Hand-tacking, handrun tucks, hand
rolled hens, etc, all add to the
value of a garment.
9. Detail-Tucks, stitching, shir-
ring, yokes, pleats particularly UNI
brella pleats that take more work.
all enhance q costume.
10. Cut and fit require the great
est skill of all.
