TASlllO.N lias re-discovered the jumper or gvunie frock, if you so prefer to call it. Now that this interesting type of dress has been put on the map again, joy reigns in the realm of earn- pus, school room and olhce, tor was there ever or could there ever be any stvle of frock more practical than the one which can change its sleeves and its nock-line nock-line efteet at a moment s notice siniplT by taking unto itself a different hlnnsp or t'nunrm? Most of the fashion columns and pictures and cables from Paris are delivering the message of contrasting sleeves and no doubt the revival of the jumper' frock is directly traceable to this, influence. As one designer expresses ex-presses it, "they make tht frock" such as, for instance, sleeves 01 tissue metal cloth or those which are muchly be-spangled or embroidered which sound a brilliant note for some of the handsomest velvet, satin or crepe dinner din-ner gowns shown in the new collections. collec-tions. Which all goes to show that the call for contrasting sleeves seems to be "opportunity knocking at the door" of the jumper frock to become formal when it so elects. Which is exactly what has happened formal as well as informal jumper or guimpe dresses. The velvet gown cut low to the waistline waist-line with suspender-like straps over the shoulder worn with a generously sleeved blouse or guimpe of exquisite lace is one of the new numbers on the program of stately evening costumes. The jumper frock of black rough crepe shown to the left in the picture is a most practical type for the campus, cam-pus, since it permits of variety and freshness of appearance by merely substituting sub-stituting different blouses. In this instance the blouse with its stylish wide-at-the-armhole sleeves is made of crepe so as to simulate shirring. Plaid to wear with his same black arepe frock is a timely suggestion, for the outlook is for a "plaid season." Designers are doing very Interesting and novel things with plaid and tbey especially sponsor the jumper frock worn with a plaid blouse. Perhaps there is none more attractive than the blouse made of plaid velvet, and the best of it is, it's "different" and, it goes without saying, extremely flattering. flat-tering. Another argument in favor of contrasting con-trasting guimpes is they make possible possi-ble the transforming of formal evening eve-ning frock into a less formal afternoon type. The picture to the right is a good illustration of this. One of its clever points is that the dress wraps around and ties at the side to the back so that when off- it can be laid flat and folded for traveling ideal for the college girl's wardrobe. A new color combination this season sea-son and one which is becoming very popular is pink with the new dark red wine shades. For the jumper frock this color alliance is very effective, the dress, of course, being in a deep wine shade with pink rough crepe or a triple sheer weave for the blouse. Another An-other attractive idea is the blouse of lace dyed the same color as the dress which ic- posed over it. . 1932. Western Newspaper Union. |
