Nothing to wear" woman's
perpetual complaint, might be av-
oided if home department prac-
tices were followed as project lead
ers learned to their amazement
after attending the demonstration
meetings conducted this week by
Miss EthelWyn Dodson, extension
specialist in clothing, in the I'm
perial Veterans Hall.
Many of these leaders who had
thought their closets, like Mother
Hubbard's cupboard, were bare,
found to their surprise that in
stead of new wardrobe, all they
needed for a smart winter outflt
were a few modernizations, plus
perhaps new hat.
This sounds like a miracle but
it is really the application OF good
common sense plus the inventory
method, a practice recommended
by all fashion experts but seldom
followed
Inventories Made
Miss Dodson gave every woman
present an inventory blank in which
she listed the clothing on hand
which may be worn during the
coming season; the colors and tex
tiles in her present wardrobe, the
color desired for new clothing, and
the textiles; the repairs, such as
refitting, restyling, repairing and
refining; cost of these repairs, in
cluding new materials needed, and
labor if a dressmaker is required;
cost of new clothing.
From this analysis of the clothing,
the new clothing needed is deter
mined and also the repairs needed
to make clothing on hand wear
able.
After this systematic wardrobe
planning many found to their de-
light that with few changes, the
purchase of a smart hat, bag, etc.
