DRESS DESIGNERS HAVE SEASON OF EMBROIDERY
The beautiful gowns, richly embroidered with gold, silver, and pearls, which were worn by peeresses at ifiie Coronation have made a lasting impression on fashion, writes Marianne Mayfayre in the Laily Telegraph. Many of this season's dresses deraand as much work to be expended on them as was given to the robes worn in WestmQister Abbey. Gleaming gold and silver embroideries, bead work, and jewelled work call for expert jieedlewomen. I notice such notices as "experienced bead workers wanted" outside dressmaking liouses. Reeent collections seen in London have featured gowns covered; lavislily with beads. J ewelled dresses, another variation of this fashion, call for skilled workers. In some cases the stones have to be dyed to match the material. This work, I am told, is particularly well done In England. TasseJs and fringe are varjations of the emhroidery fashion. A beautiful white gown exhibited at one show was composed entirely of fringe work about 4in. in depth.
