Preview

One summer is only just over, and we are all looking forward to the 'next.' In these pictures, Ross and Glendining show us four of the new styles for next summer from their 1967-68 range.

Marine and Tropic are the colours linked effectively in this Crimplene dress.

This fashioned mesh top for sportswear is made in Diamesh, already on the market for men's underwear.

This three-piece suit in 15-gauge Orlon includes a plain skirt in dog rose, a matching sleeveless jumper with grey and white stripes and a cardigan with striped hem.

How to get a lift next summer? This slack suit in crimped Terylene is in Pretty Blue, one of the new fashion shades featured in the R&G collection.

Miss Wool

Here to launch a Woolmark fashion campaign is a glowing 20-year-old brunette who holds the title of Miss Wool of America. She is Miss Barbara Petsel, seen above wearing the pseudo-suit presented to her by the Monte Sano and Pruzan firm, one of America's oldest and most respected coat and suit houses.

While in New Zealand, Barbara will make an extensive tour of the country, with store appearances in all major cities promoting Woolmark fashions.

Nineteen-sixty-seven is regarded as a vintage year for wool knits. Knitted dresses are undoubtedly the hit of the season. From all the wonderful versatility of wool we have selected for these two pages a few of the many garments which will be seen in the store windows this winter.

I Spy.....Winter's warmest pure virgin wool sweater from Tekau, brightly fair-isled on royal blue and teamed with matching wool jersey stretch trews also from Tekau.

Knitted Twosome....skirt and top in finest pure virgin wool by Glengyle. Both parts in palest pearl grey, the new high standing neck finished with a knitted < unclear >pla</ unclear > trim.

This will be the first appearance of Woolmark fashion garments in N.Z. stores, and with her wardrobe of American and New Zealand Woolmark clothes, Barbara's appearances will undoubtedly excite much interest.
