Being 'women, nothing pleases, , us more than being able, with a-simple trick or two,, to do something magic to a cress and thus lead our friends to think that we have a brand new ad dition to the wardrobe. Classic style dresses are easiest to change because their good tailor :1 can take all sorts of trimming tricks. Do you have a Classic but- ton-down-the-front style dress that reeds a bit of something? Remove sg-!hi self color buttons and add dash ' viVa gold or metal ones. Then sweep r - cf the new gold-jar silverbelts . . -i and lock at the result II you want to do something even drastic, the pastel dress may a c"ed a dark green, navy, gray, '. -r i or black, and the metal but- -i belt combination will make ."t loc': perfect. In addition, you will Lave a dark dress that will be more liable and practical for the cooler "-sailer than the pastel one which ; o4 already have worn most of the V. lat's to be done when you have $ classic style with a full skirt that -3 no trimming?

' It's very easy to introduce plaid la simple solid black, blue, brown or gray dress by changing the belt And s do contrasting bands, t iz to plaid and making quaint pointed pockets of the same material. If you have a dress or suit in plaid, the appearance of the whole thing can be changed by using white pique' trimming at collars and cuffs. Or, it you prefer something , different, select one of the colors in the plaid, purchase a solid material in that and use this for trimming collars Co Sr.srf. Sheers belong to any season, es-; pecially when they're black or navy. The design sketched holds" s rich promise of fotore fashion, too, in Its magnificent develop ment of back fullness.

Beine shows the trend toward the lower, rounder bat this season.' This model cpmes in gay red felt . with an upstanding, fancy feather ; of black and white at the back. The large dotted veil adds a touch of softness to the small but smart hat. and cuffs and for a band at the bot tom of the skirt,, if desired. . ; Eyelet is very popular for trim mings, too. . Since it is rather ex pensive you might satisfy your need for change simply with a bit of ruf fled eyelet edging ' the collar and cuffs of the dress. If it has a but-. ton-down-the-front, edge this with eyelet What to Do " With Buttons Buttons on washable dresses usu ally find themselves in a weary cor ner as the season draws to a close. Most . of these dresses, suits and blouses Will benefit with a change of buttons, but be certain they are the san. size to fit the button holes you already have on the garment. . Button. treatments also are- used on the sleeves to add interest. Sim ply run five or six buttons down the sleeve, beginning at the shoulder if you want to add abOe the waist in terest on a tailored dress or blouse. Another effective way ol using buttons is in a diagonal treatment, either outlining pockets or simulat ing them. - , - For best effect, the buttons chos- en should, in themservt:., be Inv est catching. When you want to point up interest in -them, select a contrasting color instead of a, match ing one. Also," remember that but-' tons show up better on solids than on printk - - n . ! ' For botces that are' plain and kwill take buttons, a double breasted treatment of tiny gold buttons Is fre quently v very effective. This is es pecially popular on such thin s as the bolero sundress type." In some cases,, you can use on your accessories the same -button treatment that you have on a dress. Diagonal button - treatments on gloves, for instancei frequently can tie 'them nicely to a certain- dress or suit. ; -V ' Buttons as well as bows are being used to gather up a part of a wide full skirt in some cases. Bands and Bows -. ' WiU Do Wonders " Have you ever thought of how ef fective a band trimming can be es pecially when it is used on. a print dress or suit? When the print is- crowded, the solid colored . banding seems, somehow to' clean the print and define it. ' ' i If you have: a two-piece print dress, try outlining the jacket with a band. that matches one- of the darker colors in the print Use it around the front of the jacket,. out lining it completely, and then use around the sleeves and pockets, too. Frequently this little trick win lift many a weary dress out of the dol drums. - - . . Bias tape Is best to use for this type of. trimming because f g all folded and pressed. The tape comes in cotton and rayon so that you can select the proper type for your ma terial , 1 Many band trimming effects can be relieved with bows made out of the trimming. These are especially effective for the youthful fashions. .The Jacket of a summer dress for a girl in her-teens may carry three or four widely spaced rows of band ing for 'trimming Bows can come at the closing of the bodice to hide snaps .or buttons. 'If you prefer, 'only the skirt may be .band trimmed. . Use one large bow on the highest band as a trim ming. It's important not to overdo the bow part of the trimming es pecially on the skirts, for their fullness-is, in a sense, a lot of trim ming. If you ave contrasting trimming anywhere on the dress, bows can be made of this material and attached to the pockets of the dress for more interest.
