She has always, had very j definite ideas about clothes and the i Duchess of Kent has heiped her I develop a flair of choosing and I wearing clothes that are p.eculiar.iy |her own, writes .London fashion writer, Fay Bfing. In the very first days of the New Look revolution Princess Margaret caused a stir by appearing in a plain tailored coat with'a flared skirt to which a good four inches had been cleverly added. * In common with other young women in Britain, the Princess is obliged to . wear her clothes over and over again, untii they become familiar to those who follow her frequent public appearances. • Many of the evening dresses she wears have been "made down" from the Queen's gowns, even as thjy were for Princess Elizabeth before her marriage.
