Old-Fashioned Calico May Lend Daintiness To Summer Dresses
New York,—(UP)—Old-fashioned fabrics lend an aura of grandmother's daintiness today to summer dresses and play clothes cut, for the most part, on practical 1940 lines.
Pin checks, calico prints, tidy stripes, and taffetta-like cotton were featured in showings by the Cotton shop and Franklin Simon which opened the sun season in a rainy week.
Rounded shoulders and an occasional ruffle pointed up the old-fashioned theme in many dresses. But the best of them escaped quaintness.
Pale blue and white checked tissue gingham was cut to a pretty cap-sleeved, square necked, flare skirted dress with a self-ruffle outlining the bust below the neckline. Cool and sweet looking, the dress appeared earmarked for many hot day luncheons and informal Sunday suppers.
Pin point cheeks gave iridescence to a series of handsome dark cotton out with full skirts, snug midriffs, halter or strapped tops and with fitted boleros for all day wear. One fabric combined a deep plum blue with bottle green. Others shimmered from black to blue and black to brown with the crisp richness of changeable taffetta.
Tidy foulard prints on shining tie silk or rayon were used for travel wear from spring through summer. Favorite color combinations appear to be the red, navy, and white range, but there are others. Both shirt-waist dresses and two-pieceers with flared skirts and snugly buttoned bodices were featured.
Taffeta woven cotton in rectangular plaids was teamed with a solid, dark-colored bodice for another practical town to country dress.
bouses were treated. Pen-line stripes with color alternations in groups rather than by single stripes were shown shirting fabrics and chambrays in wearable town and play costumes.
Even the bathing suits carried some of grandmothers' calico—and, perhaps, more of her ruffly modesty than in recent years.
