For a handy homesewing aid in the construction of the outfit, try "Scotch" Zipper Guide tape from the 3M Company for*professional-look­ ing zipper placement. Sew soft, sew big and reap big fashion savings Dieters can rejoice this Spring -- there will be plenty of big, beautiful fashions, instead of tiny, doll-like clothes. The new­ est look this season is one of loose-fitting garments that cover a multitude of figure imperfections and feel so comfortable on your body. The most basic shape is the big over-sized shirt. It's soft and loose, some­ times square-shaped with deep armholes and roll-up sleeves ... sometimes tenty ... sometimes tapered into a chemise dress . . . and many times even belted at the waist! This shirt- shape can be worn as a dress, a jacket or a regular shirt-blouse. It moves easily on your body -- which makes it a cool choice for the warm Spring weather. Thinking and sewing big is another way to welcome the Spring. Skirts, pants, coats and jackets are all easy and relaxed in shape. Smocks, capes, wrap­ around skirts, draw-string pants and billowy-sleeved blouses are some of the nicest '75 fashions -- and are simple to make your­ self. Don't be afraid of all this fullness -- no matter what yojpr size or shape, there's a, big-shot big-look just right for you. Shapes get tonfcd down easily by the details you sew on them. Faggoting, eyeletted flounces, tucks, smooth yokes or «oft touphes of lace and ruffles can scale down the largest shape for the woman who might otherwise be lost under a mountain of fabric. The Spring '75 palette offers a bonanza of bright colors: and lightweight fabrics to the homesewer. Knits unnatural tones and open- weiaves look and feel great. Lively stripes, florals and batik prints are clear and clean in reds, yellows, greens and blues. Water- colors in misty shades give a serene, cool appearance to gauzes, batistes and piques. For sportswear, there's chambray. chino. gabardine and twill in beige, olive, white and muted earth tones. In preparation for the 1976 Bicentennial, you might want to think "Americana" by sewing up some calico in traditional red, green, yellow or blue. Whatever you decide to make, remember that the proper fit is essential. Al­ though the silhouette is loose and large, if your garment is too big it will look sloppy. One way to insure good fit is to "try- on" the tissue paper pat­ tern before you cut out your fabric. If it needs altering, use a great aid like "Scotch" Sewing Tape from the 3M Company to shorten or lengthen pat­ tern. This yellow tape is lined and ruled every W with handy sewing guide­ lines. It's great for top- stitching, too, since you can sew right through it and then remove the tape with just a quick pull. Another place to check and see if a garment looks right is by the closure. Poorly placed buttons and buttonholes or a crooked, puckery zipper make a fashion hang poorly and fit even worse! Big shapes look best with smooth closures -- like the new. thin polyester zippers. Putting them in quickly and professionally can be achieved with "Scotch" Zipper-Guide Tape. This translucent tape was cre­ ated specifically to make zipper placement easier, thanks to its handy shape and properly aligned black markings. Accessories, take their cue from the. laiger. softer Spring shaped. Luggage- sized pouches and knitting bags, large straw carry­ alls. long trailing scarves and small neck scarves (to be used as a filler with larger shapes) all add the finishing touches to the new fashions. Hats are every where -- from wrapped turbans and scarves ... to crochetted caps ... to large-brimmed straws and fedoras. Laced- up espadrilles. straopy open-toed shoes on higher, slimmer heels, wedges and does i for the be£ch» will make your feet seem well- polished and feminine, once more. There's a wide variety of soft shapes and easy silhouettes now. Select the ones you like and sew them up soon -- it's one of the bigeest and best i d e a s y o u ' l l h a v e f o r Spring.
