LONGER SKIRTS 



Many of the dresses in your closet will 

 seem too short this fall. Some of these 

 may be let down at the hemline while oth- 

 ers may be restyled for extra length, for 

 example, this picture illustrates a short 

 black crepe dress refashioned into a longer 

 model with aqua satin apron effect. The 

 skirt is lengthened by means of an insertion 

 of fabric under the apron. Added hip 

 fullness is achieved by a large bustle bow 

 of matching satin at the back. For free 

 Instructions send a self-addressed stamped 

 envelope to Women's Editor, Illinois Agri- 

 cultural Association Record, 43 East Ohio 

 Street, Chicago 11, III.
