Whether you are swimming, sailing or lolling in the sun, you'll discover that cottons are your best ally 1o keep you fresh looking. This year's cottons are easy to launder.

A three-piece play suit, such as the one shown left above, is a wardrobe stretcher, as it can be worn interchangeably with other items. Crisp white cotton is used for the button-on pinafore and panties, flowered cotton for the blouse. It is fashion right and charming. The diaper plaid cotton swim suit, center, is easy to make of three tri- angular pieces of fabric. One triangle makes the halter, and the other two are used for the diaper panties.
