Our Front Cover: See how she swings in this dandified darling of a
dress, crisped with stripes around its cone-shaped skirt and its slim-shaped,
close-fitting sleeves. Sensational to wear and easy to make - knitted
straight through in two and two stripes, shaped into the waist and
darted into the small, close bodice with its sweet and sweater-y neckline.
The edge of the hem, the edge of the sleeves, are round with plain
smooth fabric knitted on the bias. A sash is knotted round the waistline.
A dress to feel young and eager and vivid in, a dress that prompts
admiration, second glances, jealousy! Knit it without the sleeves
if you are so inclined. Style No. 7854. Instructions on opposite page.
