Dress woollens, which become more interesting year by year, are showing in innumerable weaves, including crinkled, corded, chevron, diagonal and honeycomb. Other favourite finishes are angora and hair-cloth. Loose weaves are popular for dress fabrics. Plaid and checked woollen material is smart for scarf, collars, etc., on a plain colour.
The new coating materials are fascinating. Novelty finishes are new in velours—we find pique cord, Bedford cord, diagonal cord, basket weave and angora. Also showing, are diagonal and plain cord boucle, coating in new mottled effects and caracal and beaver finishes. Charming mixtures are to be seen in Harris and Donegal tweed effects. Diagonal tweeds are new.
