blends in still greater easy-care combinations, stripes and prints
that demand an audience!

Silhouettes likely to get a winning start run the gamut from

down-down-down waists, hack-important sundresses and over¬
blouses that scallop, to pockets in new places, buttons for more
than buttoning, skirts that suddenly burst into flare and wardrobe¬
expanding jackets. Notable too, the whimsical new hat shapes.

Bets are being taken straight down the line, with the grand tally
predicting any one of these entries as a promising champion!

Unless you’re just too good to be

you, you’d like to look fresh and

un-rumpled too, in case your
neighbor should drop in unexpectedly.
What to do? Make yourself a
sleep-dress — that comfy, convertible

kind of nightie that’s short

and sweet enough to masquerade
as a dress, in case you have to
make a mad dash from boudoir to

doorbell. Here, two quickies:

 to add
a touch of
summer to your
wardrobe

With cool fabrics: Sometimes we are overwhelmed

at the sheer beauty of summer’s fabrics — hesitant about
setting-to with scissors and needle. With a little sewing
know-how, these lovely lightweight and new synthetic
fabrics can be as easy to sew as cotton.
With lace and eyelet: A warm weather dream
of something cool, something frosted, becomes reality
with a topping of while lace or eyelet over a gay cotton.

With a hand-knitted jacket: When the soft,

summer breezes blow, you can take cover
under a knitted jacket that adds a
custom-made look to your ensemble. The jacket,
cut from hand-knit blocks, goes together like — well, a breeze.
Do-it-yourself
ideas for
all these

summer touches
are on the

following pages.
 Sheers: Nothing sets the mood of summer more
prettily than a lovely, sheer dress. The whole effect
Here\s Hos\^ of this light look depends a great deal on the style
to sew with and finishing of a garment. Most of these delicate

SUMMER
fabrics adapt he^t to soft, gathered lines, unless you
prefer to completely line a slim dress. .\nd. because
these fabrics are transparent in varying degrees, the

FABRICS
fewer facings, seams, and double thickness of fabric,
the lighter, neater the look. So select your pattern
carefully and try these suggestions.
Sew seams and then stitch about * s” from the seam-
line within the .seam allowance. Trim the seam close
to second stitching. (See figure a.l
Many times you can eliminate the need for a facing
by binding the edge, ^e recommend a French bind¬
ing on very sheer fabrics. It is cut on the true bias,
six times the width of the desired finished binding,
folded and applied as shown in figure b.
\ wide hem is recommended for most sheers if the
hem is not too curved. It solves the wandering petti¬
coat-length problem and gives a more luxurious
appearance. For a trimmer finish, you can make a
double fold hem. .\llow twice the hem depth, fold
up twice and slip-stitch. Circular hems must be very
narrow. Try a top-stitched. hem.

“Miracle" Fabrics: You’ll find that the various man¬
made fabrics now available can be handled very much
like their counterparts of the natural fabrics. However,
the synthetics do not shrink or stretch much so easing
can present a problem. The best solution is a pattern
design that does not call for extensive easing. Here are
I
a few suggestions for easier handling in sewing the
new fabrics. 1

Cutting — Pin selvages together to keep the grain

straight. Use sharp, small pins and very sharp scissors. ◄
Don't mark with a wax chalk. I

seam puckers. liM>sen the tension. Double-check to see
that your stitch is balanced with no knots visible on
either surface of the seams. If the two layers of fabric
^ are not going through the machine at the same speed,
ease the pressure on the presser hM>t.
• ^ait to press a seam until you’re absolutely
i certain that it’s the final seam; a pressed
crease will leave an unattractive mark.

to adft the

FROSTING
Frosting for a cotton sateen skirt: an overlay of crisp,
white eyelet, made as a separate skirt, joined at the
waistband. (Pattern nuniher 3709. waist sizes 2-1-34. 50<.)

Cut the .skirt of each fabric. A self facing •'>«<" wide and la"
longer than placket should he allowed when cutting the
hack piece in the eyelet. (See figure a.) The underskirt is
made just as shown in the Pattern Primer, including the
placket zipper.
The eyelet skirt is put together in the same way, except
for the i)lacket and hemline. For the placket, make a
double row of stitching on edge of seam allowance of the
front piece and hack facing piece. Qip back seam allow¬
ance below placket at lower edge of facing and turn
toward front. Turn back facing and tack in place.
(Figure b. ) Trim front, back and side seams to Vi" of seam.
Baste two skirts together at waistline and sew on waist-
I'lnd. Layer seam allowance for a flatter effect and then
sew snaps on eyelet placket. Mark hemline on eyelet and

trim off V-!” below markings. Turn raw edge under V4'', turn
again and top-stitch along edge. Hem underskirt slightly
shorter than eyelet.
 \
Here, heavy cotton lace over bright sailcloth

slacks. It's easier to do than you think — the

two fabrics are simply handled as one.
This proportioned slim pants pattern (3257.
waist sizes 23M! to 32, 60< ) is especially attrac¬
tive in this combination of fabrics. Cut the
pants from both fabrics, except for the pockets
— cut these from sailcloth only. For pocket-
edge of lace, cut a strip 2Vr wide and as long
as the straight open end of pocket. Double
stitch the raw edge of lace to right side of
sailcloth along inside edge. (See figure a.)
I
To eliminate bulk at waistline and leg hem
when raw edges are turned under, trim lace
at top fold on sewing line of hem and at fold¬
line on inside of waistband. Double-stitch the I
raw edge of lace pieces to fold lines of sailcloth.
With both fabrics right side up. baste-stitch
pants pieces of lace to sailcloth pieces, about
Vs” from seam line within allowance. Stitch to¬
gether through center-fold line of darts and
proceed to make pants as if both fabrics were

one. Don't forget to trim darts and layer seams

and waistband as shown in figure b.

Ij you re tall .. .chances are y oiTre the einy' of

every small ^irl In sifrht, simply because yon' re
the only female ty pe to p;et aivay with marvel¬
ously wild prints, chnnh y jewelry', mammoth
hats, smashing colors — in short, lots of drama.
}onr heip^ht can carry ' off jtractiadly an y strong
costume idea and make it stick... for its theatrics,
to he sure, hut also because boldness tends to

minimize any' hint of too-tall ganp;liness, con¬

verting y'our look into ^reat chic.

Take the proportioned dress, opposite, for example. Its basic

shirtwaist temperament is admirable for any height, hut if you’re

tall, you’ll want to do it in an oversized print — like Wm. Ander¬
son’s colossal green medallions stretched over white cotton satin,
broken with a wide wedge of belt (Calderon). Important, too,

the full-length sleeves — an indulgence reserved only for you.

3870, in proportioned sizes 10 to 20, 50(*. Your shoes will be
most complementary when heeled at a medium height, rather
than flat... these, Sandler of Boston. Sketched, two more propor¬
tioned looks: the slacks, 3257, a slim cutting of violci, in propor¬
tioned waist sizes 23^2 to 32, 60f‘, topped with a giant-print
blouse, 3674, 10 to 18, 50(^. The beautiful suit statement for sum¬
mer, 3899, vibrant yellow, in proportioned sizes 10 to 18, 65^.
J OF PROPORTIOX

If you 're small. . .you \'e got feniiniiutv on your

side, and a real chance to take the diminutive
details of fashion and make them big news! In
fabrics, the petite patterns are yours without
(fuestlon: In color, a little goes a long, long way:
in the case of jewelry, one or two pieces scaled to
size Is maximum for your minimum Inches. In
other words, play your measurements to their
greatest advantage by emphasizing you rather
than a whopping-size jabric print or an over¬
whelming clash of colors and accessories.

Case-in-point, the proportioned dress, opposite, cut with hare-arm

aplomb for the girl who can best afford to show more arm and
leg (note shorter, petticoat-propped skirt). Here, the shirtdress
pared to its essentials, in a tiny bright check of red-and-white

cotton gingham by H. Bates, defined at the waist with Calderon’s

narrow red belt. Bangles by Coro. 3870, in proportioned sizes
10 to 20, 50(r. Slim-heeled pumps by Capezio. Sketched, two

more additions to the small girl’s wardrobe: the skinny pants,

3257, in miniscule stripes of tweed, in proportioned waist sizes

23*/ 2 32, 60^, with solid white blousing, 3674, 10 to 18, 50<.
The crisp, cool suit — a midget herringbone tweed of black and
white, 3899, in proportioned sizes 10 to 18, 65^. ,,,
J MATTER OF PROPORTION
If yoiTre in-between ...lucky yon! Almost any¬

thing is fair game in your fashion book, if you're

average-ly proportioned. U hat may look too
brash on the small-boned gal, too unimportant
on the tall, is likely to come suddenly alice on
your in-between sizing. For instance, color used
with finesse can be a boon to your clothes life.
Prints and stripes are more promising than
j)roblemat ical. Belts, heel-and-hem heights,
jewelry can all be juggled to punctuate your
finer Jigiiring, when selected wisely.

Proof of the premise, the same proportioned shirtdress featured

in the luo preceding sections, shown opposite in its roll-sleeve,

 ABE YOU
A HALF-SIZE?
Knowing ijonr figure type
is the key
to fashion success

You ARE A HALF-SIZE if vour figure is fully-developed and

shorter than the Miss-\^onian, uith larger bust, waist and
hips but narrower shoulders. For example, an average Half-Size

14’ L' stands about 5 with 35" bust, 29" waist and 39" hips.
Her sizing is not a matter of age or weight but a figure type which

may develop as early as high-school or as late as grandmother-

hood. To determine your figure and pattern category, measure
the bust at its fullest jiart, the waist at its natural line, the hips
7 inches below the waist and the back from the prominent bone
at back-neck base to the waistline. If your measurements correlate
with the Half-Size statistics on the pattern envelope, then this sec¬
tion is yours! Here, five handsome ways to meet the daily agenda.
