N.Z. Dress Designs Equalled Those Of Overseas Models
Dresses designed and made in New Zealand were not the least outstanding of a remarkable collection of wool model frocks for all occasions, shown in Wellingt'&n recently. Jointly staged by the New Zealand Wool Board and a leading Wellington store, the fashion parade, entitled “The Romance of Wool,” featured the work of the great London and Parisian couturiers, all these models having been imported by the Wool Board to show New Zealand women the fashion value of wool in the great cities overseas. Interspersed with the imported gowns were a number from the best designers of New Zealand—samples of whose work can be bought in any good drapery store. These models in several instances equalled, in the opinion of many onlookers, the ■imported ones.
