1 New Exciting Colors Available in Fabrics For Contest Entrants

By BETTY LOCHER Times Fashion Editor

(COLOR is a main attraction for the home seamstress. Even those who have done only a small amount of

' dressmaking will be stimulated to take a greater interest

in their hobby when they see the splendid spring fabrics

in a new range of exciting colors from the softest pastel tones to the most brilliant oriental hues, 5 Yard-goods departments -are featuring these materials now and this is surely the right time for dressmakers to plan smart spring and summer wardrobes. Still further encouragement to dressmakers

- non-professional

who want to cash in on their talents is given by The Indianapolis Times National Sewing Contest which offers a host of attractive prizes, including a chance at a grand national award of a 3-day all-expense trip to New York plus $100 in cash. re i What better incentives do home sewers need to start work on at least one of their garments today?

= . - SINCE THE COLOR story is so refreshingly new and lively this season, it makes the dressmaker's job of choosing her color combinations ‘an interesting and satisfying one, The most important news centers about the beige family. This color ranges from the very palest tone, almost off-white or ivory, to the warmer chamois and rosy beiges. An interest in lighter tans and cafe-au-lait colors naturally follows and these will take the place of the deep heavier browns. : Those who have been looking for new tans and interesting variations of brown will certainly find them in the current group of fabrics of every type —woolens, silks, cottons and rayons, All are available in beigy colors, and prints feature beige with a touch of black; beige tweeds and textured weaves are accented with black yarn as the main contrast.

= ” ” EVEN BLUE, the color which undoubtedly ranks as number one in popularity and with which everyone is so familiar, has taken on a bright, new"aspect. It has a character all its own, Follawing the strong pastel trend, pale sky blue will be plentiful in all fabrics, but more important is the bright electric blue or so-called Mediterranean blue, a vibrant and flattering tone. This last is just as effective when shown in solid colored woolens and silks to be made into dresses and suits, as it is when used in splashy print designs for silks and rayons which can be made into attractive afternoon ensembles. For basic suits and costumes

made of classic suitings, failles

and bengalines, navy has always been the standby. Now these outfits will be made more interesting and lively due to the lighter, clearer navy, a striking contrast to the darker

, navy which has been the clas-

gic color for 30 many Years. Any dressmaker who uses one of these new blues will find her garment, however simple | and basic, takes on additional | importance and beauty.

s ” o A COLOR REVIVAL many will welcome is green, and its. range is varied, from pale green with a bronzy cast to the deeper

mossy tones; and from clear bright green to deep bottle shades, All of these tones are prominent in print designs, especially on high style silks, shantings (which are being printed now) and sheers. Greens withégolden tones are handsome combined with the new browns, oranges and blues,

and in fact when used this way

they form striking oriental effects. It is a complete changeover from the static floral prints and the less vibrant geometrics of former seasons. Red, when used as a single color, or combined with others

Orange, too, has a pink tone and both colors—the red and the orange-—are shown to best advantage in textured woolens for spring coats and jackets. The clearer reds with blue casts are available in dress weight woolens, sheers and cottons. This follows the trend that every ‘color takes: A soft, pastel group of shades and then the vivid, clearer tones used to carry out the oriental theme. Other favorites which can be found in all fabrics are white and off-white, all tones of gold from pale lemon to bronze, mauve with pink tones and grey with platinum or silver lights.
