Crepe, the most popular dress material of the 1930'5. has found its way back into high fashion in the United States. It is manufactured now in all the new colours in patterned and plain materials. It can be seen in deep, rich Paisley prints, in glowing all-over floral designs, and in flower scatterings on dark backgrounds. The supple material goes well wi'h the relaxed, easyfitting silhouettes of the new styles, writes Patricia Peterson >n “The New York Times.”
