SOVIET WOMEN’S DRESS.
The fiat has gone forth that Soviet women are to look neither dowdy nor eccentric. It is welcomed by M. Medvedava, whose position as chief designer in the Moscow House of Fashions makes him the Stalin of Dress. At the same time, like all dictators, he has his difficulties. He explains that Maria Fedorovna —Miss Moscow —is an exacting young woman. Here is a typical day of hers :—• Early Morning.—English lesson. 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. —Work in factory. 4.30. —Visits Dynamo to watch skating finals. 6.30. —Dinner at a restaurant. 7.30. —Moscow Art Theatre. That she shall be suitably dressed for all these industrial, social and cultural activities M. Mcdvedava says that he designs a “morning-afternoon-sports-evening model.”
