" I like white, it suits me, and I am always happy in it.” What better excuse could Dana Wynter have for making this her dress theme f She is seldom seen in any other colour, and her originality has put her in the “ best dressed ” category. Dana’s idea was not contrived as a gimmick to attract attention. It iust grew on her when she first started to take an interest in fashion. Even in winter time she wears white —tweed and woollens for day ; soft floating chiffons by night. She says it allows her to indulge in every other available colour for accessories ; though black is usually her day time choice ; and powder blue for evenings. Certainly she could not better complement her dark fragile beauty. In her colour selection, Dana proves her immaculacy. White must always be pristine fresh ; and it is her ability to achieve this that makes her sparkle in a crowd. is always a picture of perfection. Some people might ^ay that it is easy for her, because she is wealthy by birth and marriage. That is, in fact, just why she might well go wrong. Unlimited spending power can so easily lead to a cluttered, over-elaborate, high-pitched fashion wardrobe. Dina has too good personal taste for that. To the pleasure of the men, and the honest admiration of the women, she can " make an entrance ” better than most ; at formal affairs because her ensemble is startlingly lovely : at other times because it is simple and just right for the occasion. Apart from her good taste. Miss Merrill has a fetish for freshness. Each and every day she makes some time to tend her accessories. She chooses neat suits, cocktail dresses with classic simplicity ; bold hues and striking combinations in rich brocades and satins for evening. The fresh charm of Doris Day is reflected in her clothes—she has a flair for choosing simple clothes that provoke approving comment from women as well as men. Sports clothes dominate her wardrobe, with tailored blouses and skirts her pec day time outfits ; sleek, short sheaths for cocktail time, full length for formal evenings. Doris has a lovely figure, and is happy to show it off in fitting clothes like the beautiful evening dress she is wearing here. She does not consider showy fabrics becoming—so never chooses satin— adores sleeveless dresses. Wears little jewellery, but likes it to be real. She considers her diamonds not only an investment, but an asset to her appearance. Doris is not partial to furs and hates stoles of any kind because ” they need manipula- tion, and no woman can look smart and assured when she has to fidget with her clothes.” 92
