THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, JANUARY 16, 1942 Prints Make Their Appearance With Bright Floral Patterns By CHERIE NICHOLAS \\r ELCOME the new prints! ’ “ They are gay, they are lovely, they are everything you want them to be in the way of chic and refresh ing novelty. It’s going to be a most exciting time for prints from now on. Not only are they putting in a much earlier appearance than usual, but they are strikingly novel in both color and design. Smartly in keeping with the vogue for bright touches to add warmth and color to the winter wardrobe, charming rayon jkrints are appear ing in such an out-of-the-ordinary assortment that they set a new high in zestful color and originality. Speaking of the unusualness of new print design, you’ll be thrilled with the charm of the new lace prints which fashion enthusiastical ly features this season. They are simply stunning! In some instances the lace motifs are so strikingly realistic it almost seems as if they were appliqued to their background. However, you will find it is really artfully printed patterning. Many of these lacy prints are combined with gorgeous florals. It is just such lavish lace designs as pictured to the right in the fore ground of the group illustrated that are calling forth ohs and ahs from print-seeking enthusiasts. Here the patterning captures the delicate tracery of lace paper doilies and the color glory of chrysanthemums for a striking print design on fine ace tate rayon jersey. The styling of this winsome midseason dress con veys a message of soft draping and a very important message it is, too, for the newer silhouettes are making a feature of slenderizing drape technique. An outstanding new treatment found in the new prints is that of •vide-spaced, brilliant florals that contrast vividly against navy or black grounds. Such designs as scat tered rose or tulip prints vie for popularity with extravagant mix tures of many-colored exotic blooms. See the stunning dress worn by the figure seated on arm of chair, as shown to the left in the picture. The luxurious rayon crepe used for this newest and smartest of aft ernoon dresses glories in an ex quisite flower and feather pattern ing in many colors. This deftly draped and molded-to-the-figure frock is a typically last-minute crea tion which answers the question of what’s new for immediate wear. Centered in the picture above is a charming print design of immense parma violets gives an exquisite handpainted effect to the softly draped flat rayon crepe that fash ions this graceful, full-skirted frock. Watch for these handpainted effects, which are stunningly achieved with multi-color bouquets or single flow ers spaced widely over backgrounds of fine rayon crepe in solid tones. Be on the lookout, also, for the new and fascinating feather prints. Soft plume effects are being im portantly featured; also graceful palm fronds that look very tropical when green widely-spaced ferns or palms are printed on white grounds. Other important prints that take you into the realm of small, bright ef fects carry interestingly diminutive plumes, formalized medallions and curlicues, or exotic paisley pattern, ings. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Crocheted To give the smart fillip to your appearance you really should wear a touch of crochet somewhere about your costume, now that crochet has grown to bp one of the most out standing words in the present-day fashion vocabulary. Why not cro chet a beret as pictured above, the original of which was shown in an all-crochet fashion show recently sponsored by the National Needle- craft bureau. For the smart beret here shown, Wanda Kofler, a designer noted for her artistry and skill in crochet, uses two shades of pink mercerized cot ton. Worn with a cerise colored crepe afternoon dress, it makes a smart ensemble for a luncheon or bridge engagement. Plastic Bags Surprise and delight await those who first see the new handbags made of woven plastic thread. With the possible shortage of other materials plastics are definitely “in.” ‘Ballerina’ Dress Delights the Young As a compromise, here is an eve ning dress that looks festive but not too formal. It is a new type of frock—the ballerina dress, which has recently made its appearance in the fashion picture. As its name implies, this new frock is full-skirted and ankle- length. It really is a forerunner of the short-length evening dress. Young, pretty and so new is this dainty dress. The prettiest of ma terials go into its making. Lovely prints yield beautifully to the bal lerina silhouette. Perhaps most charming of all are the ballerina dresses made of lace. The bodices that top the ballerina skirts are pur posely styled with the utmost sim plicity, have short sleeves, fit snug ly and add to their lure with deep- cut square or heart-shaped neck lines. A most significant sidelight on the ballerina vogue is that the junior and teen-age girls are so fascinat ed with the idea they are adopting the fashion for daytime dresses of gay chintz and crisp cottons. New Sweaters Luxury-type sweaters are taking on most dazzling details for evening wear. It’s a good plan to have one or two sweaters in reserve. They play such a varied and helpful part in either your afternoon or your really “dress-up” wardrobe, with short skirts or the long evening skirts. Lisle Mesh Here’s your answer to the hosiery problem! It’s smart lisle hose in flattering mesh—perfect with your daytime woolens and tweeds. Fa vorite colors are cocobark, brown- butter and honeycomb. If you pre fer fine plain lisle without mesh, it is now available in all leading stores stores.
