CORDED WEAVING
LEADS IN FAVOR
There is a distinct corduroy influence in the winter's fashions. Wool, silk, velvet and mixtures all show a tendency to corded weaving.
It is not confined only to clothes for sports wear, as formerly, but appears in clothes of all varieties. Many of the newest evening dresses are of a corded velvet which approaches corduroy in weave, but is sheer in texture.
Corded woolens, launched in Paris last season, are already established as classic materials. They are favorites for the sturdy type of coat or suit which is destined for wear in difficult weather.
Dressmakers like the possibilities they offer in design, for a slight change in the direction of the cords, by means of adroit cutting, can work a whole design into a costume without the addition of any ornament.
