Fashion On Wane
London dressmakers are wofrying over the English woman's growing disregard for clothes during these war days. As one costumier says: "They think it patriotic to take no notice of their appearance-and the dressmaking industry. is suffering as a result. About 85% of sewing girls are out of work." Lady Ampthill, who owns a smart dress salon, declares that she has not sold one dance dress since the war. It is a common sight to see women in West End restaurants to-day dressed in slacks and tweeds.
