COTTON STILL POPULAR
Fashion Director’s View Cotton was still at the top of the fashion tree in New Zealand and Australia, probably because of its suitability in their climates, said Miss Lois Murray, fashion director of an Australian and New Zealand pattern service, yesterday. “More cotton is being sold than anything else, both as fabric lengths for home sewing and as manufactured garments.” Miss Murray said. Its continued popularity, in spite of the advent of manmade fibres, could be attributed to its expensive look, its refreshing colours, and its quality of coolness, she said. Miss Murray has come from Australia to compere parades of cottons in nine New Zealand centres. She considers that New Zealand is “catching up quickly” with European fashion trends in both manufactured and homemade garments. It was thought, she said, that New Zealand women did more home dressmaking a head of population, than was done anywhere else in the world.
