SHORT SKIRTS
EFFECT ON WOOLLEN INDUSTRY LONDON, Felt 24. Yorkshire West Riding textile manufacturers are seriously perturbed at the further reduction in women’s skirts. Mr Elmsley, president of the Textile Institute, in a statement, said: “Wool is at present dear, and the prices of fabrics have gone us. To moot this, the dress designers use less material.: Recently I increased the price of cloth, upon which the dress designers said it would be necessary to use a quarter of a yard less in a dress in order to avoid the increase in retail cost.” Other manufacturers point out that every inch skirts are shortened means a corresponding curtailment in employment at the mills, and that higher prices cause higher skirts.
