Much of the pleasure and the benefit, too, for that matter, depends on having the right apparel together with all the accessories acces-sories which add to the comfort of the occasion. As joyous, as highly colorful, even frivolous and sometimes eccentric and amusing as modern beach and swim fashions may appear to the casual. onlooker, on-looker, they are, after all, about as practical as common-sense designing can make them. To illustrate the point, consider the pajama suit to the-left the-left in the picture. To be sure It is immensely clever and picturesque and gaily colorful, in fact, it Is an orna ment to the landscape, but it is something some-thing more than all that, it is thoroughly thor-oughly practical. This two-piece is not an experiment or a model to merely catch the eye. It is an outgrowth of the need felt for some sort of a costume which can be worn over the one-piece bathing suit, which will look genteel and mod est in going to and from the bench and which simply must slip on and off easily. However, In the little bolero or eton with separate pajamas made of silk or wool jersey which is a great favorite, favor-ite, or of crinkly seersucker, of pique, linen, or of some one or other of the. smart striped materials (stripes aro( the rage tlus season) the problem Is solved. Looking at the costume Illustrated Illus-trated one appreciates the advantage of tins model which has a little jacket-to jacket-to be worn or not, as one pleases, with pajamas so designed as to button or unbutton easily. The dcsignful arrangement ar-rangement of the stripes adds to the attractiveness of this costume. Again, it is the practical question which is influencing designers to play up brassiere effects this season for both bathing suits and beach costumes. The basic idea In these brassiere devices de-vices Is to get the greatest possible benefit from the sun's rays, and this is being accomplished by means of strap arrangements at the back. The form-fitting ensemble on the standing figure presents an interesting interest-ing version of the brassiere mode. It Is neatly tailored (tailored effects are chic this season) of a very attractive and serviceable durene mesh of diagonal di-agonal pattern, giving it the appearance appear-ance of pique and you know how smart durene diagonals and piques are! The modisli brassiere-bodice accents ac-cents the popular light-top vogue. The two straps which hold up the brassiere-like front join between the shoulders and become a single strap to hold the garment i' place at the hack. Although it does not show in the pic-, lure, this costume has a matching, short jacket with sleeves, to wear when your sun tan shows signs of becoming be-coming sunburn. The dotted parasol is of durene mesh and is a charming adjunct, making mak-ing its appeal to smart women who go beach promenading. (. 1932. Western Newspaper Union.) |
