Being “in-the-know” will al so help her judge whether a particu lar garment is a good value for its price. In many of the larger department stores are racks and racks of suits and coats. Hanging side-by-side may be suits of varying price, so it’s up to the buyer to be able ttf determine quality regardless of cost High-grade coats and suits are | made from fabrics that tailor and press well, savs Miss Mclver. Usual ly this fabric has been pre-shrunk and inspected for flaws in weave and col or. Construction of buttonholes, lin ings, s°ams. collars, and lapels are I among the features that indicate qual- | ity or a lack of it. Buttonholes, for; example, not cut with the grain of, the goods or poorly cut, are likely, to stretch in wearing and hang open.
