J their good buys and their bad
buys" along to illustrate their
points. They went over all the
dresses critically. Then each
group made up a list of things
they considered essential in a
dress il it is to be worth the time,
labor, materials and m n e y
invested in it. On the list they
put such things as colorfastness,
, study fabrics, good design, no
shrinkage. Then each woman
voted for the ones she considered
essential.
Usually homemakers buy at
least one house dress each year.
These dresses are the business
dresses of the great majority of
women. They have to be suitable
for all the things homemaker
has to do.
In the voting, colorfastness re-
ceived the highest number of
votes. The homemaker wants her
dress colorfast to washing, sun,
and preparation.
More than two-thirds of the
votes were cast for quality of
material and workmanship and
only one-third for design details.
The homemakers realized that a
pretty dress won't stay pretty if
the colors fade or the seams pull
out.
They do not want to run up
stairs and change their dresses
if they see chance to work in
the garden for an hour. And they
know from experience that sun
light often fades a gardeners
dress. They want dresses labeled
as to colorfastness and washable
ly.
And to them the word wash
able" on the label isn't enough.
The label should state definite
ly to what the color is fast. Sum
light? Laundry? or, what? To
them they should be able to
throw a house dress in the wash
with the rest of the family cloth
es without fear that it will fade.
The majority of the women said
house dresses should require no
special care.
Shrinkage was the second
troublesome point. Labels stating
definitely how much the fabric
will shrink are the only safe
guides to dresses that will not
shrink so they don't fit.
Other points to look for are
fabrics that won't ravel, fabrics
with no excessive finishes that
come out when washed, leaving a
sleazy material.
In the survey, nearly three
fourths of the votes were for
good-fitting dresses and comfort
able dresses to work in. The wo-
men want fullness in the proper
places so the dress won't look
''bunchy." They want skirts with
enough width at the hem, but not
SO wide they catch on things Or
trip the wearer. They also want
good fitting, comfortable sleeves,
and colors.
Workmanship makes big diff
ference, and is easy to judge. It
takes only few minutes to exa-
mine the construction of a dress.

secured and reinforced fastenings
and pockets. Trimmings should be
securely attached.
It is a good idea to study pur-
chases even when buying an in
item. Remember, you
HAY not have three dollars or ten
dollars to buy another house dress
if a new one shrinks or the but
tons break in the first washing
or the trimmings fade into the
dress.
A second step is to read the
labels on garments and refrain
from buying those that do not
carry labels giving definite infor-
nation as to fiber, colorfastness,
and shrinkage.
The third step is to try on the
dress. It's the only way to judge
if the size is correct and if the
dress is comfortable when you sit,

The end of the church's struggles
could come in either of two ways.
One way would be for the church
to give up struggling against the
