Montreal Turban
Miss June Cox, Montreal, likes this pullover and turban in chamois yellow. She shows you two other intersting ways to drape the turban[sic].
Pins and clips and flowers, feathers or quills, make smart turban trimming!

TO MAKE UP
Block. Gather crosswise at centre. Fold strips at gathering and seam the 2 strips together along one edge for 8 inches to form crown.


Knitted turbans are seen with every sort of brillian clip or brooch this season, or you may tuck a flower, quill or feather into a fold after it’s draped into place. Our favorite is swathed in the regal coronet manner and stuck with those huge-headed Oriental-looking pins...massive earrings accompanying.

I love turbans! I keep trying to convince other people that they're 1940s chic and not Maharaja glamour but they don't see it :(
