Jennifer Jones - Star in a Five-piece Wardrobeby Ruth Mary Packard
(Ladies Home Journal, January 1944)
Don't you often wonder what a young movie star wears to work, how she looks at home playing with her children, how she dresses for an evening party? Here's Jennifer Jones, wanting clothes that are young and slim, colorful and practical -even as you and I. Her California wardrobe is about the same year round, in weight and style.
A gray flannel bolero suit - half country, half town, gay as a schoolgirl's. A pin-checked navy skirt and crisp white blouse, perfect with her navy Churchill coat. A two-piece challis, her home-and-garden dress, alternates with a gay flowered skirt and white blouse, For evening, she loves romantic, slim-waisted taffeta - you'll love it too. These clothes happen to belong to a star, but any girl or young mother living in a mild Southern climate could claim them.
At home for an afternoon with her two romping boys: a two-piece white-ground challis.
Movie stars aren't always wrapped in sables. Jennifer loves simple party clothes like this romantic black taffeta with a silver plaid, right for a small party or a first night.
Any sunny day at home: a printed skirt and pretty white blouse.
Gray flannel bolero suit with Tyrolean felt applique trimming might be any girl's business or week-end suit.
Off to the studio: checked skirt, white blouse, Churchill coat, short white gloves, calot and hair in a net.
