one in the inset. By LOUISE FLETCHER, Times Woman's Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 16—The wave of femininity in fashions will be rolling up on the beach come summer—and splashing over into the field of playclothes; too. ‘The way-for girls to look next season when they put on playciothes is more demure than dashing. + Three more sportswear designers—Claire McCardell, Clare Potter and Joset Walker—yesterday put their OK on the pretty look in
playclothes. Their collections were shown to the 120 fashion writers I
here for the New York Dress Institute's semi-annual fashion press week. “ . Earlier tifis week several more designers of sportswear had shown playclothes that departed from boyish or strictly functional styles. . Tina Leser, presenting her “sissy playclothes,” showed cotton and linen swimsuits trimmed with-embroidery or heavy lace,
Bruno Contributes to Demure Look : With His Smockiike Beach Coats Bruno's contribution to the demure look included smocklike beach coats of gray polka dot shantung with big bows tied at the throat. Even a businesslike gray jersey swimsuit had a skirt. (Swimsuit skirts are not only present, they're frequently full and gathered, like the one by Tina Leser shown in the inset photo above.)
| In Claire McCardell's, line it is whirling circular skirts and
flounced petticoats that point up the trend to pretty sun-and-fun clothes. Known for her multiple-purpose costumes, she has them for this spring, too. a They're four-piece ‘suits which form two costumes in one. Of wool jersey or worsted denim, they have small capes or jackets and
* woolen skirts plus a blouse and- a flounced petticoat of pastel cotton.
The wearer, shedding wool jacket and skirt, has a two-piece cotton dress. . Joset. Walker's play on. the sissy theme is embroidery on linen and cotton frocks. One peacock blué sundress of “crinkle cotton has
its square apron-top bodice front and its hemline edged with em.. w= brotdered “sealiops: ~ Red embrofdered seallops” sage the o-shsuldes % ..Deckline and tiny sleeves of .a. flare-skirted white Unen frock...
Not in the playclothes catggory but pretty as a portrait is another white linen dress. Openwork embroidered daisies in the skirt reveal a jade green petticoat which matches a cummerbund wound round the waist, el
Clare Potter Introduces- a Color That Is New in Beach Clothes
Clare Potter, avoiding any superfluous frills in het designs, still gives sportswear a feminine touch. - One method is an apron effect used throughout her collection. The circular skirt of a bathing suit has-a short; scalloped ‘apron stitched “right on it; wt Even when her swimsuits are skirtless bra-and-shorts styles, their fabric and styling details are far from being purely functional. An example is a two-piecer of black taffeta For: this. she. uses. a. drawstring. cirolet- idea: which appears-as a motif. in her collection. This is a circular opening with the fabrie surrounding it shirred up on the drawstring. These epidermis revealing “portholes” in the two-piece black
tafleta swimsuit are spotted one over each hipbone Skirts of some of
the Potter swimsuits are given additional flare by the insertion of contrasting godets. Rows of scallops decorate thie flared skirts of others. Final note of femininity is Mrs. Potter's introduction of a color new to the beach. It's purple—royal purple.
PLAYCLOTHES GO FEMININE—Typical of the more forvinine Leser's pale blue cotton bathing suit (left) with white Schiffli embroide done for Edwin H. Foreman Co. There's a pretty and feminine look in
