For this model, Looking for m Christmas ball dress? Victor Stiebel suggests this one in the romantic tradi- "tion. He chooses organza in a wv marquisette with black lace, sun- 5a new shade of rhododendron pink, giving the dress a fitted bodice and a vast skirt with fullness cascading from the hips. Long - Sleeved Or Decollete, Party Gowns Are Prettiest Ever By DOROTHY BARKLEY. - Picnicing in the tropics or roast- 'ing chestnuts a ok fire which is 'it for you Whether you are basking in the yf in the sunshine or kee, ing wars "frost, you will seeking new fashion ideas for the party season. This year, though there is great- ¢r variety in styles than ever be- fore, the accent is on colour. There | Fashion J4s a swing away from pastel 'shades to bright, clear colours. "And jt is easy to see why these -new dones will be popular. + Soft pinks and blues are pretty, but they are dazzled by Christmas «decorations. Tulle and net may be 'attractive, but they lose their ef- 'fect against a glittering Christmas "trees almond * Nat, for you to sugar shade: Et ach 1 like sap- ut ric «phire, flamenco pink or Vermeer "blue. And not the flimsy fabrics, "but lavish satins or brocades which -stand up against a gleaming back- ground! So much for colour. As for style, .the bell skirt is the most import- ant detail for this year's evening 'dresses. It came to us a few months ago from Paris, where Dior showed it on tunic-to sa- tin dresses, and Jacques Fath on strapless black velvet. styles. Not only are copies available now, but you can also buy bell-shaped petti- coats in stiffened nylon which "make the most of this line. Per- "haps the chief attraction of the bell skirt is that it goes equally well with the short evening dress as with the long. GRECIAN DRAPERY J If you are what the fashion de- .gigners call the Grecian type -- "finely chiselled features and a statuesque figure" -- then you will be choosing a Grecian style eve- ning dress. Usually these are in silk jersey with a draped bodice and gathered skirt. If you are what they term a "pocket Venus" -- under five - foot - two with a trim sheeled satin pumps. mas include ribbon striped bro- cade, wool lace, Christmas rose brocade, iridescent organdie, and cotton woven to resemble an ex- pensive brocade. Biggest change in accessories year is the come-back of low-heeled shoes. These have Louis heels about an inch and a half high, and contrive to be comfort- able without being maiden-auntish. - conscious women who have suffered silently for months past in stiletto-heeled French shoes are now sinking gratefully into these latest styles, So fashionable feet this Christ- mas will be dancing in Louis- For smart- ness, the shoes will be dyed to match the dress; for that extra touch, they will be coloured to make an eye - catching contrast. Flamenco pink shoes with a sap- phire blue dress is one suggestion. WHIMSICAL HATS Evening hats seenr to have taken inspiration from the joke hats found in istmas crackers. One of them is a chignon hat which consists simply of a piece of black satin draped halo-fashion round the top of the head, then swept back and knotted into a chignon on the nape of the neck. In this way, so they tell us, those who didn' grow their hair, when the long hair vogue came in a few months ago will catch up with the rest. Perfumes should be chosen 'as carefully as any other accessory but, since Christmas is the time for fun, why not choose one with an appealing name? What about "Fille d"Eve", 'Taboo' or per- haps "'Carefree'. Christmas, though, isn't only parties, and you. will probably want something new for home wear. From the host of new ideas for casual clothes, one cf the fol- lowing might suit: a skirt in the new velvet printed to resemble plaid, leopard skin or a colourful section from a stained glass win- dow; Eastern shoes with up-point- figure -- then you need a "little girl" dress. You might like one | with a bell skirt, but watch for | the "little girl" details the | bows on the shoulder straps, the bow buttons marching down the | front, the calf-length skirk | But you may be making your | own party clothes this year. It is best to keep to a simple pattern, | creating the festive air with a rich | fabric. If you are an inexperienced | dressmaker, don't be afraid to buy | a good material; expensive fabrics | are much 'easier to handle than | the cheaper variety. Rich fabrics | on the market in time for Christ ed toes gleaming with bead em- broidery; or a sweater with a hood attached. These sweaters are in thick wool, and your best friend may mistake you for an eskimo, but at least you will be warm. But Christmas is the time for enjoying ourselves, so make sure beforehand that your wardrobe can eope with all invitations likely to come your way. See that it con- tains 'something for everything." It's distressing to have a wardrobe of ball dresses when your mantel piece is packed with invitations to cocktail parties, GROUPS, CLUBS, AUXILIARIES HOLY TRINITY WA.
