Give Yourself Some New Accessories!
You don't have to spend a fortune to smarten up your fall clothes. You can make things, yourself. Here's how!
by Ann Sothern
THE FASHION powers-that-be are good to us ! Every fall they devise some new types of accessories that we can use with miraculous results on a last year's dress. And thus we fool our friends and enemies into thinking that we just went out and spent a small fortune (snap of fingers here!) on a whole new autumn outfit ! Last year they said, "Trim with metals and metal cloths for dressy wear. And for sportswear make your own hats, sweaters, scarfs, and other accessories, even flowers !" This year the bright edict to us is : "Crochet !"
Crocheted gloves, I must admit, made their first appearance this summer . . . but they were so successful and so well liked that we'll be wearing them far into the fall, in fact until the time when the frost begins tackling our fingers. The shades will be darker, of course, than we wore this summer, in order to match the darker hats and bags Ave'll be wearing.
Crocheted hats for sports and daytime wear are a practical innovation for those of us who take our hats off as often as possible (to allow our hair to breathe) and then put them on again five minutes later. They don't stretch out of shape . . . they don't muss . . . and you can easily tuck them in your pocket. And as for their cost ... a little time and a lot of inexpensive thread is nothing to complain about — particularly when the results are so extremely smart !
• I HAVE made only a beret and gloves so far, and I had to do those on the set between shots . . . but I am going to make a crocheted vestee to wear with my fall suit. These vestees in contrasting shades are very chic — yellow with brown suits, light blue with dark blue, brown with gray suits. These handmade vestees are very expensive to buy, but easy and economical to make. The instructions for making them are too long to give here, but you can easily get details at any art needlework department in a department store.
The brimmed beret that I just finished is such a simple pattern, how [Continued on page 80]
