It is decreed that waists may be outlined on out-of-doors and sports clothes, but not on afternoon and evening gowns. Here is a group of new notions which illustrate the idea. On the left is a black satin afternoon dress with a shirred line below the hips and a side fastening of small, round buttons. In the centre and lower right side are tuck-in biouses worn with smartly tailored skirts which clearly indicate the natural waist; the former has a belt of fine embroidered kid with tie en suite, and the latter a triple belt of self material fastening with covered buckles. Top right is an afternoon model illustrating the slightly pouched bodice above a closely swathed hip-line; and lower left is a brocade dinner gown slotted to take a soft georgette sash which is tied loosely in front.
