FLOWER FRONTS FOR DAY FROCKS
VIOLENT CONTRASTS TO BE AVOIDED Frocks with fronts made entirely from artificial flowers are among the most original new notions for day wear. The flowers are used in a variety of ways. The most popular method is to have an inset chemisette, usually V-shaped, composed of silk and velvet flower heads and petals sewn flatly on to some suitable material. A dull blue rep frock made with a vest of richtoned auiriculas and forget-me-nots sewn closely together made an attractive example of the new fashion. An extremely attractive afternoon dress of black georgette and lace, skilfully draped and with long wing sleeves, had a most original bodice part, made rather loosely and with a waist-deep, V-shaped front, which was filled in with creamy pink roses. The effect was charming and was heightened by the wearer’s black hat, on the brim of which nestled a spray of similar roses. Flowers for flower-fronted frocks need careful choosing. Violent colour contrasts must be avoided and the Mowers which are suited for using on plainer, more tailored frocks are not always good for using on frilly, fussier gowns.
