The Princess Line

The most attractive evening gown is certainly the perfectly fitting princess model—preferably in black satin. The fullness is arranged from tilt knees to the hem, just as it was 30 years ago! Sometimes godets ot varying depths are introduced, but more often well-cut flat flounces make the elegant silhouette, continuing in the form of a train at the back. Long black suede or kid gloves are worn with a gown of this type, and a fan of ostrich feathers in some welldefined colour is carried by way ot relief.
