Hollywood (1942)

Clues On Clothes By CATHERINE ROBERTS FASHION EDITOR Above: Dinah Shore, stage and radio star, doesn't buy all her clothes by any means. She feels that making her own clothes is not only fun but a sure way of achieving that enviable individuality we all want. She is shown above fitting a gown to form | With plenty of money to spend on the world's most glamorous clothes, many Hollywood stars depend upon their own sewing to achieve individualistic touches. Grace Bradley, star of The McGuerins oj Brooklyn, sews narrow lace ruffling and beading on slips. Through the beading she runs dark colored ribbons that match or contrast with the dress she wears. Bonita Granville perked up a new fall dress by sewing on four patch pockets, each of a different color. One of the newest tricks I've seen around town is handknitted sleeves in wool or spun rayon dresses. Knit them of solid contrasting colors or wild stripes. The effect is very new. It's a wonderful way to modernize last year's shirtmaker frock. Simply use left-over yarn for this | OTHER FASHIONS ON PAGE 26 Dinah wears the completed gown. Pale pink chiffon, smoothly moulded to the body, its simplicity and perfect fit make it ver> distinguished. Embroidery in a darker tone of the pink outlines neck and hips. It is done with a simple machine-attached gadget made by the Singer Sewing Machine people. Try it Cute little Jane Porter, featured in Hal Roach's Fall In, has her own trick of individualizing her clothes. Shown here is her smart use of crocheted edging to outline collar and cuffs. She crocheted button covers to match. Very easy to do with scraps of left-over wool yarn IIKE A LOT of other fellows, I used to take what I thought was a "he-man's" laxative. And, boy, what awful punishment I'd take with it. The stuff tasted terrible — and acced worse. It was just too strong/ THEN I SWITCHED to another brand. It tasted pretty bad, too. But I wouldn't have minded that so much if it had done me any good. Trouble was I didn't get the proper relief. It was just too mild! FINALLY, A FRIEND suggested Ex-Lax !.. ."It's so easy to take," he said. "Ex-Lax tastes like chocolate and it works like a charm!" . . .
