One Designer Considers Smartness Of Women Who Wear 38-44 Dresses By BETTY BYRON If anyone tells us that the woman who wears a size-44 has been forgotten in the fashion world, we have a quick reply ready. She has not been forgotten by one manufacturer this fall.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when my daughter would criticize my looks!" tne jines ox lasnion that are within a modest price range. Too, the styles are many times lacking in interesting fashion details. we noted a group of dresses (designed, we thought, to key in with the holiday season which is not far away). They are made of an extremely sheer wool, so fine and soft they feel and look like crepe. The prints are in delightful designs not too definite and splashy, but reserved and dignified.

Colors are softly muted. Tht; touch of glamor Is muted also a tiny sprinkling of sequins, matching the color of the designs. is used as trim. On some frocks matching nailheads are used. The trims appear around the neck or across the shoulder or in a slenderizing line down the front from neck to hem.

One-piece styles, as well as two-piece styles are shown. This display of larger sizes in fashion -wise lines is, we hope, the beginning of a more serious consideration about sizes. The smaller woman (or the average woman, size five feet two or under) has already received attention from designers, and the results have been excellent. soon there will be a line made for the extra tall girl (she has likewise been neglected in the fashion designing world). Perhaps the lifting of fabric restrictions will open many avenues that have previously been shut of! by regulations.
