One woman’s"^
great contribution to
better dressing
IN the designing department of America’s greatest washable
dress factory there is a woman of ideas and ideals.
To her, more than a million women give thanks for adorable
dresses, positive in their perfect fitting of all types of figures
and containing marvelous features that provide long-wanted
comforts, conveniences and greater service.
She is the woman who
designed and originated
the Famous Barmon
Features.
Dresses that have no
rival as ideal dresses for j
home, for porch and for
street wear.

r /he
ADJUSTABLE
HEM
She originated and per
fected a method for ad
justing the size of a dress
and placed this great
feature in Barmon Dresa
es to insure every woman
of being perfectly fitted.
Just buttoning two con
cealed tabs at the back
pf the dress makes this
size alteration.
To meet the require
ments of tall women and
to guard against any fea
sible shnnkage. she de
vised an adjustable hem
and placed it on theakirf
of every Barmon'Dress.
To lengthen the skrrtyoj
merely pull a chain stitch
rhg which releases a con
cealed 2-inch tuck. No
restitching is necessary
She knew that all dress
es show hrst signs of
wear and service be
neath the arms, and to
overcome this she de- I
signed the under-arm
shields snd had them
tailored into all Barmon
Dresses.
Thus did she practically
double the life of frocks
at these points.
How often it happens
that accidental rip. tear
or stain spoils a dress
and makes it unfit for
sightly service. To off
set this she has placed
in Barmon Dresses two
pieces of dress matenal
for mending purposes—
always ready to use in
making neat repaii*.

Surely you will want dresses having such wonderful features and especially
so when they can be had at tiny costs, not one bit more than you must pay
for ordinary dresses lacking these aids to sure fitting and comfort.
And they are dresses of endearing style—smart and saucy—glorious in
their colors---with decorations of unique beauty—all developed in the best
of washable fabrics. f
