TRANSFORMING YOUR FROCK

PRACTICAL IDEAS. Transformations for day wear are interesting. Never have women been so abundantly supplied with ideas in this realm. Marvellously practical they are, with last year's dresses in mind. And the more changes you can ring, the better. Collars, berthas, boleros, collarettes, gilcts—almost anything goes. Pique, crepe, and velvet are used, and white will vie with contrasting colours, which gain in favour every day. Change your buttons to white or coloured ones. Change your belts, too, to white, or colours to match the buttons. Bright red and green are good. Or put black ones on your bright dresses. But keep most of the interest at the top. As to our evening dresses, we can change them and transform them also. Our little boleros are one idea, our collarettes is another. Then there are guimpes, berthas that tie at the back, sets of sleeves that tack in and come out again, different coloured sashes in chiffon or muslin tied to one side and falling to the hem of the skirt. If you have a black drees, but a bit of colour on it, have a different colour every evening. The dress stays unchanged, but you look different.
