Heather Gettings models for "Photo News"

New Zealand Fashion Scene

Tweedy

This is a wool tweed suit in a combination of pink, beige and white with Peter Pan Collar, slightly tailored jacket, a straight skirt, and a matching pillbox hat.

Navy

...is charming for this wool crepe blouson style with a fitting skirt. The cut-away sleeves run into a standaway collar.

Dusky

This wool coat in dusky pink wool has a stand away collar. The lengthy doublebreasted buttoning is a special feature of this fitting style.

When Heather Gettings, our 1966 "Miss New Zealand", went overseas for the Miss Universe contest, she took with her a New zealand wardrobe which evoked admiration wherever she went. We asked Miss Gettings to demonstrate the wardrobe for "Photo News" readers, and for our first fashion feature we present a selection from the pictures taken. The clothes were made by El-Jay, Academy of Elegance, Sargoods, and House of Raymond.

Miss Gettings will be travelling overseas later for the Melbourne Cup meeting, and the Miss World contest.

White wool

A little out of season now, but no less charming for that is this outfit of white wool, neatly belted, with welted seams front and back, a turtle neck, and magyar sleeves.

Checks

Heather makes a charming picture in this minifrock of navy and white checked wool with blue stand-away collar and trimmings.

Hi! U.S.A.!

For her arrival in America, Heather wore this aqua wool courrēge style. The softly-moulded jacket is fastened with three self-made loop buttons.

For the press

Heather met the gentlemen of the Press in this dusky pink wool job designed by Peggie Wilson of Auckland. There is a triangle cutaway in front.

Beneath is a shift frock, gently fitting, with slightly cut-away sleeves and a rounded neckline

Two tone

Light grey, dark grey....this is the theme for this attractive number from Sargood's, with the harlequin design on the hip. Here it's teamed with op-art shoes and bracelet.

Wow!

Heather is one of the nicest. girls we have ever met; friendly, charming, endlessly cooperative. Disturbing, too, in this slinky creation specially designed for her by Peggie Wilson. It has a cut-out back and marabou trimming to the hemline.

Honey

Honey is the colour for this wool crepe by El Jay.....with elbow-length sleeves and blouson top. The neckline is gathered on to a band and finished with a bow.
