• 4 SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLA1NDEALER-PAGE 9-1 FRIDAY, APRIL I, 1977 !• i \ Elegant designs are destined for many 0 ' ' ' ' a moonlit fling THE STRIKING SILHOUETTE of this infinitely slim plat­ inum crepe back satin gown with a soft drape stole attached to a self rosette at the shoulder features a very deep, very daring side slit for one of the most devastatingly feminine, elegant and downright sexy looks of -the spring fashion lineup. By Morty Suss man for Mollie Parais. There's a seeming natural affinity between Mollie Par- nis clothes and women who lead a full life. As Mollie herself says, "there's too much excite­ ment in day-to-day living to make you want to escape, even in clothes." For spring 1977, Morty Sussman and Mollie Parnis agree that "full life" has a double meaning. Most of the skirts have a noticeable full­ ness, sleeves bubble out and there are luscious shawls and stoles to fill out the picture. Many of the fresh, deco­ rative, cotton strapless and fun evening dresses are des­ tined for many a moonlit evening. The new two-piece look in the collection is full and narrowly belted over a full skirt. Some of the tops are in a new and ravishing mesh that looks hand-crocheted. All the air-light coats in the pretty and purposeful costumes in the collection swing free, and several are cut along a classic line with deep slits. A series of smashing pure white costumes make a daz­ zling contrast to the collec­ tions' lovely sweet and oc­ casionally explosive colors. There is a stunning new blue tone, a soft periwinkle that recalls the celebrated Wallis blue of Windsor days, numerous all-red outfits for day and evening, a fresh-as- paint green combined with white and a group of grey and white costumes toned in big blocks so skillfully that the effect is of two strong colors playing against each other. Intriguing textures such as crocheted cotton with pure silk crepe, honan silk and Fibranne, unglazed chintz in two provincial pat­ terns, organza bordered in matching satin, stubbed cot­ ton with knit and white flannel with satin-back crepe make the collection of the fabrics that go places and do things in the modern manner. For evening, Morty Suss­ man pulls out a lot of stops from romantic, poetic and perkily pretty, to drop-dead. And, as demanded by many of these ladies, there is a 1977 edition of that Mollie Parnis classic, the delectable big-skirt, little- waist dress in black silk organza with the layered ruffles around its deep V- decolletage and an airy float of skirt. Less wash, more play! "Spring fever" may not be in the medical books, but anyone who's had it would probably attest to its reality. When the warmer weather arrives, it seems that every­ one races outdoors to take advantage of clear weather fun. Unfortunately for home- makers, however, outdoor activities usually lead to more clothing changes and more dirty laundry to wash. Extra laundry needn't spoil your good times, how­ ever. You can do the job and still have time for fun, too. The following wash day tips should help: • Sort clothes as usual to separate colors from whites, but also sort according to fabric and degree of soil. This can save you time since lightly soiled clothes, permanent press, delicate fabrics and small wash loads do not need as long a wash cycle as heavily soiled and heavy duty items. • Pretreat grimy clothes with Spray 'n Wash,® a laundry pretreat designed to help remove especially tough soil and stains. Just spray it directly on extra-dirty parts of garments, wait 60 seconds and wash clothes as usual. This can save you hours of pre-soaking or scrubbing. • Don't overdry clothes -- it causes wrinkles, and ironing is something you especially want to avoid with summer's heat. Save time by drying clothes of similar fabrics and construction together: syn­ thetics for approximately 10-15 minutes; sheets and permanent press around 20- 25 minutes; and heavy duty garments and towels for about 30-40 minutes. • Fold clothes while they're still warm from the dryer, and smooth wrinkles out by hand. If you wait till the clothes have cooled, you'll need to iron to remove creases. You can enjoy the out­ doors seasons despite the increased laundry loads -- all it takes is a little know- how.
