There is glamour in a dinner suit and we find as the days go by the women are more and more coming to prefer specialised dinner attire, lovely samples of which appear in this collection. The first suit comprises black silk crepe skirt showing a full back and short-sleeved jacket of butterfly wing, blue lame, buttoned high at neck with fold-over cravat. Second is a perfectly plain black velvet skirt with short train and satin backed lame jacket, with ridged surface in shades of Chinese red with gold thread. This is an Australian model. Another Australian model, third along, is in black cloque, with very feminine jacket, which is lined throughout, and wine coloured flower on shoulder. The skirt of crepe, which fits the figure snugly, shows the ruched fullness in front. Fourth in the line is a very lusclous satin backed dinner gown in rust coloured romaine, with alternating bands of dull and shiny surfaces running horizontally across the bodice. The delightful sleeves show the new pointed shoulder line, and a small flared basque is a feature of the tightly fitting skirt. Very lovely is the long-sleeved, fully basqued dinner gown in light chocolate coloured no velty crepe fifth in the row. The basque is stiffened and stitched and the neckline is high. The gold kidbelt is matched by the gold kid evening shoes, On the extreme right is an attractive cocktail frock of rustlac moire, with an ivory moire vest, worn with an imported model halo hat of matching velour.
