Fashion Hints For Fall 54
Fashion notes offer coat guidance from tweed and plaid styles not suited to party dresses. A velvet dress can be refreshed by steaming over hot water. A pale pleated sheath with a cashmere cardigan suits late afternoon wear in pale pink blue yellow or green. Nylon lace blouses are easy to care for with a quick wash after wear.
Cooling system of the long sleeved shirtwaist
In hot weather the long sleeved shirtwaist made of cotton offers a cooling effect. The text contrasts comfort in heat with fabric choice and suggests breathable materials as a practical option.
