A Upland Athens feature outlines a spring fashion plan for college women including a two piece suit with a wool coat, navy gloves, buckskin sandals, and a blue gray hose set. It details a coordinated ensemble with a blue skirt and gray purse, plus a red white and blue boutonniere. Total cost shown as 30.92 dollars.
Separate fur scarfs and capes update spring outfits with warmth and versatility. Long-haired scarfs like silver fox and fox family flatter most coats, while affordable lapin or kidskin options refresh tailored and sports costumes. Capes pair with wool dresses to extend winter wardrobe into early spring.
Practical daytime suits and diaphanous evening gowns define the spring wardrobe for the business girl. The 8-piece office suit with skirt and jacket, plus versatile topcoat, leads a stretch wardrobe of bright sweaters and blouses, printed daytime dresses, and coordinated accessories. Nightwear favors demure, packable gowns with soft draperies, boleros, and back fullness for a polished, efficient look.
In the Boston Dollar Pink sweater, the new straight shouldered neck line frames a soft wool knit. The waist and hip extend cleanly for a svelte look, with short sleeves and purled bands. A Rome motor bus offers a smoking compartment and dog accommodations for eight or more persons.
In Athens shops new roomy purses in patent leather lead spring fashion with colors like Harlem tan and bright greens. Envelope, tri cornered, and quilted silk bags offer space for cosmetics and gadgets, while bold mosaic gold cloth purses and sturdy brief cases diversify options for day to evening wear.
A black rayon one piece pajama outfit features two carnation appliques in geranium shade and nile green leaves with trailing vines. The design appears on the left breast with a V-neck front and back slit, finished with a short ruffle.
A steel tree display in a small Athens shop shows a straight lined wool challis dress with a fingertip coat, both in soft brown tan and white blocks. The coat flares from shoulder to hem and features wide revers and three cornered patent pockets.
