A new trend, and one that is rich with possibilities, is the wide use of pleated white lingerie frillings in unique and dramatic ways. You can buy these pleatings by the yard at neckwear counters. Newly arrived navy or black suits and dresses are finished off at throat and wrist with generous rufflings done in the dandified Regency period manner. You can give your bolero frock or suit a fresh spring uplift by sewing in a white ruff that extends down the front edges of your bolero or even all the way round if you prefer. pre-fer. As most fashion-alert women are aware, the newest dresses are styled with yokes this spring. For a final swank accent, follow the outline of the yoke of your frock or your blouse with crisp white lingerie lin-gerie pleating. Many best shops are featuring this very new idea.
