SATURDAY, APRIL 30 Peach no-iron cotton with white organdy and lace decoration buyers, it's a last warning for summer buying, if you're interested in fashion. So for you and those who are always in the market for that extra dress or costume for the summer wardrobe--here are a few fashion notes on summery lines. For fashion and economy the vogue for separates is a boon for every housewife and busi- ness girl. A wardrobe of smart blouses and two or three skirts in blending or contrasting colors is well worth a diligent shopping tour. Many of the sportswear house turn out co-ordinates that feature a slim skirt and a full skirt, complete with a patterned blouse and a plain shade blouse. By judicial mixing and matching you can manage four or five completely different costumes -- es- pecially today as co-ordinates are so well made " they have the dressed-up look of one-piece dresses. A change of belt and jewellery accesories also adds up to new ways to look. With all the new combinations of fabrics it is often impossible to tell exactly what you are buying. So do read the label carefully. One of the most popular combinations is no-iron dacron- and-cotton. We saw a smart group of blouses in this combination at the fashion press showings of the New York Couture Group, in what the makers, Ship 'n Shore, describe as "bouquet prints, sunset plaids and solid tones that wash, dry in jet time and skip ironing." In the couture collections themselves we saw the sheerest dacron-and-cotton in Herbert Sond- heim's shirtmaker dress of striped robin's egg blue and mauve pink. Jane Derby featured a giant Prince of Wales plaid in black and white, pleated for a short dance dress and laden with black lace at the hem. Cotton, of course, is a summer favorite, Its history goes back to India where it was cultivated, spun and worn at least 5,000 B.C. Today there are many new imported cotton fabrics that hardly look like cottons at all, yet offer all the advan- tages for which this fiber is famed. Fine combed satin prints have the sophistication of silk; cotton tweeds and small plaids from Italy look like the most expensive worsteds; fine combed Egyptian cotton is now patterned to resemble men's silk foulard ties. These fabrics can really fool the eye, but not the hand. They do add variety to a summer wardrobe . . . cotton tweeds for travel, satin for evening. And they can be washed and ironed.
