PRINTED SILK SUITS
By DIANA MERWIN
(Associated Press Fashion Editor)
PARIS, May 11, (P)—American women, with their love of color, are credited by many people over here with maintaining the vogue of gay printed materials.
They are indirectly responsible for the printed silk two-piece suits which form an important part of the midsummer collections now showing.
French women as a whole find the two-piece printed costumes a little too gay for town wear, and look with more favor on ensembles of plain color, preferably black and white. Nevertheless, the printed suits are a well established phase of midsummer chic and an aspect of the latest styles.
Brown, black, medium blue and cherry reds are foundation colors for the prints. Most of the patterns are small, with many conventional floral designs, chiefly in leaf and petal effects.
The printed dress and jacket will be worn for evening as well as daytime. The dinner and restaurant dresses for midsummer are accompanied by various adaptations of capes or jackets, ranging from ruffled three-quarter wrap to hip-length cardigan coat. Brown and yellow combinations and green and white, particularly in leaf-pattern prints, are new for the printed ensembles of evening.
It is new and smart to carry envelope bag and sunshade made of the printed material of one's suit this summer. Women are selecting plain hats of medium width to wear with print costumes. Most of them are semi-large, with back and sides longer than the front.
