* Fall Fashions For The Mother-To-Be Introduced i ne color is brownberry. the fabric is challis. and the pat terns are plaids and soft prints - all featured in fall n^terruty fashions at the Mother To Be Shop at 5471 Central Avenue, in Charlotte, according to •tore manager Mary Helen Cook. “Brownberry - the new fas hion color for fall - is a rich, deep burgundy with a brown ish hue," she explained, add ing that gray, camel, and hunter green are fashion clas sics and will be in for a long time to come. In addition to challis, fall fashions are also going to feature a lot of pinwhale cor duroy and Calcutta, all adding up to a versatile fashion selec tion in up-to-date styles for the expectant mother In clothing styles and cuts, the mother-to-be is very lucky, notes Ms. Cook, because to uay s iasnions worK well as maternity wear -- and can be adapted for normal wear fol lowing pregnancy with little or no alternations. The layered look is still very fashionable and this means tunics and top combinations for all women. Also stylish are gaucho pants, cowl necks, and pantsuits. Enjoying a big comeback are dresses -- especially jum pers, which offer even more versatility because they can be worn as sundresses in the summer and with the appro priate top in fall and winter. “For the really cold winter months, we have the answer and it’s a gorgeous wool plaid cape, said Ms. Cook. “It’s high fashion, it’s perfectly wear able all through and after pregnancy, and it retails for under $65.” The concept of fashions for maternity wear was unheard of until recently, when mater nity wear manufacturers be gan to respond to growing demands from more mobile l mothers-to-be for a fashion able maternity wardrobe "Now, pregnant women are delighted to discover that all the in' fashions are still avail able to them - and at prices that are five to ten percent lower than non-maternity fas hions,” said Ms Cook. These days, she continued, an expectant mother can pur chase a full, fashionable ma ternity wardrobe to span three seasons without changing her fashion identity Because many women preg nant for the first time are unsure as to what their ward robe needs will be, Cook sug gests these basics: "Casual sportswear is still essential, so everyone wants at least one pair of pre-washed jeans. Usually pre-washed or light-to-medium weight brushed denim can be worn during warm and cool wea ther. "Two pairs of dressier slacks, and four or five tops selected for total mix-and matchability, are next. "Since many mothers-to-be have jobs and continue work ing throughout most of their pregnancy, two pantsuits, a dress, and a jumper are usual ly a good idea. i ne ngnt long dress can be selected to cover both special occasions and more casual events: One or two heavier sweaters for cool weather, and for winter, a wool cape - can round out the complete and fashionable maternity ward robe," says Ms. Cook All this, plus lingerie and the right foundation garments - W inston-Sulem State To Offer Evening (Hasses Winston-Salem State Uni versity's fall schedule of late afternoon and evening classes is now available from the Office of Continuing Educa tion. Forty courses that carry full degree credit will be taught by the regular faculty. Offerings include courses in art, music, urban affairs, psychology, his tory and others. Classes begin Thursday, August 25. which are essential to the expectant mother s health and comfort -- can be purchased in the Mother To Be for under $400. notes Ms. Cook Even more economical for mothers-to-be in Charlotte, she adds, is the fact that these clothes are stylish enough to be worn after pregnancy Al so. 90 percent of this materni ty wear is in easy care ma chine washable fabrics - so there are no dry cleaning costs. The real key to selecting the right maternity fashions, she notes, is to make sure they're maternity clothes and not just large size regular clothes “Maternity wear manufac turers make only maternity clothes w hich are specially cut for a prefect fit around the shoulders and bust The extra room in front allows for grow - th and comfort, and the fash lonable line of the garmet remains unaffected, " she said, stressing that a good fit is absolutely essential for both fashion and comfort. "Since we specialize in ma ternity fashions, we re able to offer a lot of personal assis tance in wardrobe selection and fitting,' she pointed out. Mother To Be is part of one of the nation's largest chain of specialty maternity retail shops with 117 retail stores in 27 states from coast to coast. In Charlotte, the Mother To Be Shop is located at 5471 Central Avenue .I MR. AND MRS.

Hr. Chartn R.B. QUESTION: Why is it that hair de signers do not do hair _ the way the customer wants it done. ANSWER: They do. The problem is; along with the custo mer’s idea, the designer k. has the problem of ^ working with the tex ture of hair as it is, the disposition of the cus tomer as is, the bone structure and skin as is, the condition of the hair and skin as is living and working envi ronment of the custo mer as is; some where in all this, time and price as la. Michaelango the great artist of all time was not met with all these problems and limitations. The gifted designer fluctuating in temperment creates the Venus de Milo in real life, the Greek God A poilo in real life. It takes science, anatomy and physiology, compas sion, art, experience and skill to design a work of art. When you tell a designer what to do, you defeat your pur pose for going in the first place.
