Vintage Paparazzi Star Fashions

DANCE IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE STARS

 

Star at your biggest Christmas party—looking as fascinating as Ursula Thiess in a holly-red net halter gown designed by Emma Domb. As breath-taking as this bright new star, the gown is traced all over in gold porcelain, in an exciting bowknot design. To make it swish and stand out, a lining of plain red net and another of shimmering taffeta double as slip and crinoline! For an extra touch of glamour, it has a matching stole. 10-18. Under $40. Trifari gold and rhinestone earrings. Ursula is starred in RKO’s forthcoming motion picture, “Monsoon”

DANCE the ever-popular fox trot in whirling, swirling chiffon, as new as the new year! Joan Taylor highlights her fragile charm in a Bon-Ray ballet-length formal with its own nylon net petticoat. In gay, Christmas-ball colors like Joan’s emerald green, it has a low chemise neckline back and front. 7-15. Under $40. Coro pearls. Capezio sandals. Joan will be seen next in Paramount’s new picture, “The Savage”

SEW EASY

 

HERE’S A DREAM of a dress for holidays and holi-dates, straight from Hollywood to you! It is an exact copy of a design June Haver wears in Twentieth’s “The Girl Next Door.” (See film strip above.) Every “girl next door” will adore it, it’s so easy to sew and to wear, all day long and right on to Christmas parties. Take a tip from June: make it in the same fabric, Forstmann’s Delphine, a soft luxurious wool-and-rabbit’s hair in many lush colors. It’s 54” wide, about $7 a yard, at stores everywhere. Size 14 takes 3¼ yards (plus three-eighths yard of velveteen trim for collar and cuffs)—total, under $25. The pattern is No. 14, sizes 10-20
