Does "formal night" really mean formal? Cruisewear is much more relaxed than it was many years ago. Your wardrobe will depend partly on the way your group decides to dress. If you're going without a group, it's better to be underdressed than overdressed.

I'm suggesting Burda 2952 sized 10-20. It's a simple jacket that can be paired with camisoles, shirts or sweaters. It can be dressed up or down. For a dressier look, I would suggest a silky fabric in a wonderful color. It can be accessorized with scarves or jewelry, depending on the time of day.

This pattern has my favorite fitting seam from shoulder to hem, is featured with short or long sleeves, and is really simple to make. For sportswear, select a linen blend, silk matka or a similar fabric. One or two jackets like this can be combined with enough separates to create a wonderful wardrobe that fits in anywhere Marcella Borneman of Mapleton, is the winner of a lighted seam ripper and needle threader for the sewing tip of the week. Her tip: "I always keep a large darning needle in my pin cushion next to my machine. It's a great help in turning points on collars, and when I need an extra finger, holding and guiding the material under the presser foot where it's very close to the needle.

Great also for turnBurda 2952 ing belts, spaghetti straps, inside out! Once you have it handy, you'll find many other uses for it!" Eunice Farmer, P.O. Box 31729, Send sewing tips or questions to St. Louis, Mo. 63131. Weddings, Engagements and Anniversaries Bonenberger-Anderson Mr.
