DRESS TO YOUR TYPE

ENGLISH FASHION MAKERS. It is a fact which nobody can doubt that in the last eighteen years the English woman has learned of the art of dress that a London theatre or restaurant provides the Londoner with a feast for the eye, states an overseas writer. She treats her naturally beautiful complexion in a futuristic manner, her lipstick comes to the door to hit you, and remains on her cup or glass to disgust you, her eyebrows are dark as a cloud that never loomed o’er land or sea, and her nails are whatever colour she prefers that nails never were; but she is a singularly attractive figure. She can continue to be so, and add to the attraction, if she will do herself the service of dressing according to her own looks. There arc indications that she means to do this. London is becoming fashion conscious. Manufacturers are beginning to cooperate in new ways. There is the British Colour Council, which in only two years has found itself a solid footing. It started because somebody one day thought how stupid it was that every firm should have its own colour cards, and no direct relation with the trend of colour. There is the London Fashions Group which is working to make the manufacturer and the woman who dresses unite in their ideas. The fur industry (and fur dyeing is one of the ways in which British work is acknowIcgod to bo excellent) is bringing its new colour schemes into harmony with the other bodies.
