Lovely Loafing Clothes
BY EDNA MILES
T HE trend to clothes designed especially for leisure hours
at home is a noticeable one. It’s a practical one, since
the day of the elaborate tea gown and the flowing hostess
gown has long since gone.
Such leisure as the average woman does have is highly
valued. For this lime, they want fashions that are pretty
and comfortable, that wash easily and iron without diffi
culty. Designer Harry Berger does clothes that meet all
of these requirements and have designed flair as an added
bonus.
A mandarin coat in three-quarter length is printed in
giant gold-tipped butterflies. The coat is quilted and has
long sleeves that flair in a wide circle at the wrist. There
are big square pockets for holding the little incidentals
that women like to carry about the house with them.
This coat tops narrow two-piece pajamas in solid aqua
broadcloth. These have the mandarin collar too but sleeves
are short. Both coat and pajamas are completely color-
fast and washable.
For the very young housewife and the career girl, this
same designer has done a short coat and two-piece pajamas.
TV The quilted coat shell is in plaid broadcloth lined in solid
color. It’s reversible, has big pockets, man-tailored collar
' ||| ||. ||| J and long, full sleeves with adjustable cuff-lengths.
