Fashion Find—

—— Versatile Cotton Is In"

By BE TTY LOCHER Times Fashion Editor”.

(COTTON, the Cinderella fabric, has been charmed out of the kitchen into the social whirl. New weaves, new textures and new qualities make cotton one of the most versatile natural textile today. There are cotton taffetas, slick, crisp and shiny; cotton tweeds, rough -textured and soft: cotton shantung; cotton fatlle and chiffon-weight cottons. Fine Pima cottons have a silky quality. New treatments make them crease resist ant and many of them require a minimum of ironing. All these advantages, plus the fact that cotton will survive an automatic washer, make it a favorite textile. Designers have used it for fashions in every price bracket, Hattie Carnegie helieves in it for summer evening gowns. Cole of California loves it for bathing suits and beachwear. The fabulous Maurjce Rentner makes a series of cocktail dresses in cotton for spring. ” ” ” FROM THIS evidence we see that cotton. has no price and can be worn for any occasion, The three costumes photographed above are beautifully accessorized at budget prices, yet the completed ensembles give the effect of being very expensive. Pale gray chiffon weight cotton makes a delectable. sleeveless afternoon dress with rhinestone buttons and tucked bib front (left). A yellow rose at the neckline and yellow bag and shoes give color interest. The gloves are brown and white stripe. The dress is $12.75, sizes 9 to 15, and comes also in a wide range of pastels. In the center is a bittersweet cotton dress with an eyelet stripe and crisp white collar and belt. It is $8.95, sizes 9 to 15, and also comes in navy and bright colors. The linen hat is $3.98 in white and pastels.
