By DOROTHY ROE
Associated Press Fashion Editor
Seven singing sisters of the Aus-
trian Tyrol provide inspiration for
a gay new group of holiday sepa-
rates that will brighten up the
Yuletide scene in many an
American home this Christmas.
Designed for “mix-match” wear,
this group of junior fashions con-
sists of three skirts, two blouses,
two vestees and two novel aprons
which may be combined in an al-
most endless variety of ways. The
designer, Lorraine Budny, took
her idea from the quaint costumes
worn by the singing family whose
exploits have just been recorded
by their mother, Maria Augusta
Trapp, in the book, “The Story of
the Trapp Family Singers.”
The picturesque dirndls and
vestees worn by the Trapp family
both on and off stage have been
translated into contemporary
styles youthful and gay enough
for the whole round of junior holi-
day parties.
The three skirts in the current
group are black taffeta, black vel-
vet and brown wool jersey, each
with matching or contrasting
vestees. Worn without a blouse,
the vestee top combines with a
skirt for fetching dance dress.
With the addition of one of the
colorful dirndl-type aprons, the
costume can be completely trans-
formed.
The former Baroness von Trapp
and her singing daughters have
appeared in more than 1,000 con-
certs throughout the United States
and Canada during the last ten
years. Though they cling to their
colorful native dress, they now
live in a huge Tyrolean-style
farmhouse in Vermont, built by
their own hands.
