Soft and economical dressing

Dollar wise fashion ideas /

Today more. thought and
money are going into fewer
fashion purchases. Designer
Linda Lundstrom advises
consumers to look for design
features that pive versatility
and that extend the use of a
fashion investment. These
may include the use of
buttons or jewellery, free
accessory items such as half-
slips and belts, the use of
easy care fabncs and the
attention to detail.

With the use of such
design features Linda
Lundstrom styles continue to
set the pace in soft, subtle,

sophisticated investment
dressing.
Beautiful buttons can

climinate the need for
jewellery on garments. With
an eye for finishing touches,
Linda Lundstrom has
worked with a jewellery

designer to create a dramatic
geometnc mirror button for
one of her dresses. Another
has a sprinkling of tiny dice
buttons on the shoulder and
a melange
spiral cones.

FO\ JULIE BUTLER of :°

Ms. Lundstrom pays a
great deal of attention to
accessories and believes that
these touches should stand
on their own.

As apn accessory for some
dresses, Ms. Lundstrom has
created a haif-slip out of the
lining. This item can be worn
with other dresses.

She says “want to know if
you are getting good dollar
value for that accessory? Just
go over to the belt or lingerie
department and find out
what this item would cost as
a separate purchase. Next,
ask yourself if you can wear
it with other wardrobe items.
After these two tests, you'll
have an idea of the added
value of the accessory.”

Another plus in her search
for beauty and value is the
use of blend fabrics. They
combine the best of both
worlds - the natural and the
synthetic - allowing Linda to
offer excellent dollar value
for her designer line. The
wool blend (90% wool/ 10%
nylon) used in her
fall/winter collection offers
a soft handling = crease

“I make no apologies for
the use of blend fabrics” says
Linda. “The properties of
the synthetic are usually
“care” qualities and allow
easy laundering and troning
saving the wearer time and
money usually spent on dry
cleaning.

In some of her fashions,
the shopper is actually
getting a haute couture
fashion at a “ready to wear”
price. Outstanding examples
of this are a trio of two
dresses and one suit in a
wool scarf print that are
definite fashion finds. Due to
the attention to detail that
working with scarf prints
demands, the consumer can
purchase a Lundstrom
garment that is oormally
only produced by a
coutuner.
