Plaids predominate the racks and can be found wherever jackets, pants, dresses and skirts are sold. "These classic basics made a good investment any time, but are especially in fashion this year," says Nancy Moore, McHenry County adviser. She notes that this year's dresses for girls are un derstated, even to the point of being elegant, and that the frills and flounces of last year have made an exit. "Shirt dresses as well as those dresses once termed the 'Gibson Girl Look' are back again and back big. Also good choices are skirts and blouses." Ms. Moore recommends those shopping for growing girls make sure blouses have long tails to allow growth. "Also note the hem width to see if it can be let down, if necessary, next year," she advises. For boys, sweaters compete with sweatshirts this year and come with motifs ranging from cartoon personalities to Western heros. Crew-necks and V- neck styles reflect the return to the classic look. Jacquard knits and geometric patterns are in abundance, Ms. Moore says. For both, overalls are plentiful and often are featured in corduroy with complementing shirt and matching jacket, the advisen notes. Ms. Moore recommends you take an inventory of your child's current war drobe and decide what still fits, what looks good as is and what needs to be altered, repaired or spruced up with a new belt, sash or trim that can be bought while you're shopping for new items. "And, don't forget to bring the child in on the decision making process. While it's your money, he or she will have to wear what you buy and that outfit you thought was so cute at the store won't do anyone much good if it's left in the closet until it's outgrown," adivses Mar- jorie Sohn, University of Illinois Exztension clothing and testiles specialist. Ms. Sohn notes that from about the age of three, children usually begin to express their likes and dislikes and should be en couraged to do so. "Smart parents will take their child shopping, select three or four suitable items and then let the child make the final decision," she says. One way to minimize tears and tantrums during the try- ons and take-offs at the clothing store is to measure the child before you leave home so you can head right for the appropriate racks when you arrive. "We sometimes tend to forget how fast our children grow when we see them everyday but by having 4hem try on their school clothes from last Spring and doing some measuring before you get to the store, you can avoid the wasting time by having Johnny or Mary trying on several sizes of the same item to get the right fit," Ms. Sohn says. For young children, you will need chest, waist, hip and height measurements to determine right size when you get to the store. For boys, get height, inseam, chest and waist measurements. Girls' sizes are determined by height and weight as well as chest and waist measurements.
