McCall's Magazine -1964 - Patterns for Miss America

"chosen to catch a gentleman's eye..."

NORTH
Lovely Donna Axum, of Arkansas, Miss America of 1964, is currently touring the country, modeling an Everfast wardrobe made from McCall's patterns. Here we show you four chosen to catch a gentleman's eye in every corner of the nation. Above: Donna wears a shirt dress in a brown-and-white,print, with crisp collar and cuffs. McCall's pattern 7183. Sewing tip: When interfacing collar and cuffs, trim edges of interfacing close to stitching line, to avoid bulk.

SOUTH
Miss America's knowledgeable choice for Magnolialand is a bold print interpreted in a lovely, long evening gown with, a low V neckline front and back. The raised waist is defined with black grosgrain ribbon garnished with a huge yellow flower. McCall's pattern 7195. Sewing tip: To add sweep to a long skirt, underline it with a lightweight shaping material. Use skirt pattern to cut dress fabric and underlining; then seam, treating the two fabrics as though they were one.

EAST
For the Ivy League or Madison Avenue circuit, Miss America's eye-catching orange-and-white print, in a blend of Kodel and cotton, has a becoming low, rounded neckline, big sleeves banded just below the elbow, wide waist-cinching self belt, and a full, full skirt. McCall's Easy-To-Sew pattern 7186. Sewing tip: To guarantee sure-to-hold, even gathers for a full skirt, wind bobbin with buttonhole twist or heavy-duty thread, and machine-baste in a double row at the waistline.

WEST
A marvelous murky stripe-and-print design in a dress with a low-waisted silhouette, very fashionable this season; a neckline high and square in front, dipping to a low V in back. McCall's pattern 7192. Sewing tip: To make the most effective and dramatic use of striped fabric, match stripes at seams, and plan fabric cutting so that the lower edge of the stripe falls at bottom of bodice and skirt. All fabrics in Miss America's wardrobe are by Everfast with Everglaze easy care.

Men's Shorts Trends For Spring And Summer 2011

Men's Shorts Trends For Spring And Summer 2011
A world of men's fashion has really matured in recent years and trends certainly reflect this. You do not need to be bow-tied, striped socked, Oxford with matching vest and pocket square-up for each appearance. Keep it simple button down with rolled up sleeves, shorts with a print of any kind, and deck shoes or loafers worn sockless.


Ankle showcase- Even if a designer collection lacked harems, they still managed to pull cuff, or push up the pant leg to show a little or actually a lot in the ankle.

Throwing Neck lines- Plunging necklines seem prominent in the spring and summer, but personally it's still a little too "Euro" or simply "Metro" for me to promote it as a casual trend, unless you can "man up". Limit plunging necklines and open shirts to beach vacations.

Hair Issue: Slow Growth

So many women complain of slow hair growth, so I've turned to Will Williams, Director of Education for Sofn'free to help shed some light on the situation and provide a trick to help speed up the growth.

Will says, "If there is life in the follicle, kick-start it to grow strong and healthy."

Here's how to do it!

Step 1:

· Select a small, soft brush to massage and treat the scalp. A silver-dollar size saddle soap brush used for polishing shoes is perfect, since the bristles are malleable and the surface area is small enough to concentrate on specific parts of the scalp. These brushes are sold at most any shoe shop.

· Saturate the brush with Sofn'free GroHealthy Really Deep Conditioning Treatment, which contains stimulating menthol. With circular motions, gently scrub the scalp in affected areas. Let the treatment set for 10 minutes, then wipe it away with a soft cloth.

· Clean the brush with water only for the next step.

Step 2:

· Apply a few drops of rosemary oil to the scalp, and massage it in with the brush using gentle, circular motions. Let the oil set for 10 minutes, then rinse the hair and scalp with warm water.


Step 3:

· Apply a dime-size amount of Sofn'free GroHealthy Three-Layer Growth Oil to entire scalp.


Why this works: The menthol ingredient in this Sofn'free GroHealthy conditioner stimulates circulation of the scalp, while the complete formula serves as a co-wash to cleanse away excess buildup, dirt and sebum. Rosemary oil stimulates healthy hair follicles, encouraging further hair grow. Triple-Layer Growth Oil applied to a clean scalp helps to regulate and prevent the overproduction of sebum.
