Christmas Girls - Bazaar Magazine 1967


The hour of the Christmas girl:
time to chime with the sudden merriment in the
air, to plunge into a Nutcracker wealth
of fantasy and wit, become the most irresistible
treat under the tree. A blow of organdy, a confetti
whirl of lace. Dress, wrapped and ribboned
to the waist by a lemon leather strip. By Mollie
Parnis, in McConnell lace. At Saks Fifth Avenue; Halle
Brothers, Cleveland; Swanson's, Kansas City. Jack Gilbert
rarrings. Round-the-Clock tights. Delman pumps.


Knickerbocker holiday.

ruffled white shirt. By Mr. Mort, in Bloomsburg

Aurora's wedding.
Ultra-daring leap into a storybook daze

jewels, flies to width with ice-white stripes and
snow-rose scallops. By Bill Blass for Maurice Rentner.

Neiman-Marcus. Margaret Jerrold shoes. Tried and True
Hair Color in Dark Ash Blonde by Max Factor.


Christmas on a dazzle current. Pale, electric blue crepe,

acetate and rayon. At Saks Fifth Avenue; Hutzler's,
Baltimore; L. S, Ayres, lndianapolis. Kenneth Lane

bare shoulder dress of evening, to send a
girl dancing with Pavlova's grace. By
