Making Dreams Possible

Our 30/- Dress PRIZE OF £2O OFFERED

COULD you use £2O? There is that holiday you were planning, that new gramophone you were looking at the Other day, the half-a-hundred other things that rush into your mind at the thought of a little additional spending money. THE SUN’S Dressmaking Competition, for amateurs, with a prize of £2O for a frock not costing more than 30/-, makes any one onf these dreams possible, A stitch here, a stitch there, a little hemming, a little pleating, a little tacking, and the prize may be yours. The few odd minutes of every day concentrated on dressmaking activities, and your hopes may be realised. Is it not worth while? The judges have now been appointed, and we have been particularly fortunate in securing the services of three exceptionally clever women, whose opinions will be the best that SUN readers could wish for. They are Miss Hurley, of .John Court’s, Limited, Miss Wilson, of Rendells, and Miss Hill, of the Farmers’ Trading Company.
