Autumn Lingerie Outfits To Be Sleek And Frothy
Lingerie, here for fall, is sleek and frothy, with sleep and lounge apparel often presented in an entire costume unit in keeping with the current dress and coat trend that offers many pieces in one.
Silks, satins, sheerest nylons, laces and pretty little printed challis' are plentiful in soft tones emanating from the sea. With all floucy full petticoats, ensembles, slips and other intimates designed in a variety meant to cater to and flatter every woman's taste.
Or the crisp, feminine fabrics of petticoats may be adorned with bright plaids, scallops of ribbon and wide hemline ruffles. Other circular styles make news when they begin their fullness directly beneath a smooth, taut hilpline.
For example, petticoats bollow out in a happy whirl to meet the needs of new wide skirts. Many new petticoats are dressed up in fabrics, such as organdy, taffeta, net, moire and quilted cotton, lovely enough for a dress.
Slips for slim outer silhouettes also are abundant and fresh and new. These may have lace encrusted, interesting neckline bodices to complement sheer blouses and additions of lace or pleated nylon tricot at hem for a flirty peek-a-boo effect.
While lace-accented chemises are on hand, in both light and dark bones, to serve as neat company for suits and heavier fabric dresses.
Bearing a close resemblance to the costume-effect of their sister outerwear garments are gowns, pajamas and at-home lounge ensembles.
Gowns, in gosser and sleek safin fabrics, take on little coat jacket, petite bed jacket and sometimes, full length coat partners. They come lavish with lace and embroidery as well as a wealth of gold thread accent. And in keeping with their rich retailing outlook their designs emphasize decollette and slim all-around bleating.
Shorty gowns, to, renew their
popularity in pert "grandpa's night- gown" styles as well as sleep-time versions of the duster.
Favored colors for gowns include palest lavender to royal, gold, warm tangerine, soft greens, delicate pinks, ever favored black and white and tiny rosebud challis prints.
Pajamas, also looking forward to a many-purpose career, are bright in color and versatile in outlook. There are tailored tee-shirt, and sweater-like tops, night-shirt and fencer shirt tops and tops. You just like men's shirts or come complete with well tailored dicky bosoms.
Now styled for outdoor as well as indoor wear, newest lounge apparel carries out a complete ensemble idea and is offered in a great diversity of fabrics, ranging from cottons and satins to corduroy and velvet.
Typical of the new at-home ensemble are pajama suits complete with their own tops-over coats or jackets and demure blouses paired with culotte pants inviting mixing and matching with other trousers or tops.
Many of the new lounge wear fashions hold a decided Oriental flavor calling for attention with tiny mandarin necklines, slim boxy jackets smacking of the Far East and slim line trousers also reminiscent of the Orient.
Dress-up Colors
Colors predicted to be most popular for dressy late afternoon and informal evening frocks include striking combinations of black and white, high shades of red favored for young date costumes, honey shades often a-glitter with pearls and ever popular black.

Test-Tube Fibres Becoming Popular
Fibers, such as Dacron, Dyneil, "Fiber E" and Vicara, fast are becoming popular for all types of apparel.
Dacron, formerly called Fiber V, can be used alone or in combination with a natural fiber for men's shirts, suits and women's knitted blouses. Hand washable, Dacron is great, the makers claim, at shedding wrinkles.
Dyneil, said by its developers to be mothproof, highly resilient, warm and resistant to acids as well as able to dry quickly, appears in knitted and woven form as socks, sweaters and blankets.
"Fiber E," a short, strong curly fiber, is often used by decorators for fabric, draperies and upholstery.
