BAVARIAN FASHION NOTE
So much of our summer dressing is in imitation of peasant garb. Here are two Bavarian girls in traditional dress — and with a hint for us of what to do with the new summer prints that are everywhere displayed. The gay- patterned one is cut with fitted and seamed bodice- _ sleeves slightly full at
shoulder and fitted at near-elbow. The squared neck is decorated with a square of hand-crocheted netting, accented-as are the sleeve edges-with a line of dark braiding. In the second, three distinct polka dots are used-one for apron, and two for bodice. The neck is round and flat and piped, as are
the outward curved seams, with lighter contrast. Sleeves are simple and puffed to a high and contrasting cuff band. Notice the front fastenings, and that buttons are flat coins. For these "peasant" vogues it is important to contrive the unusual in the way of buttons.
