DUCHESS’S FROCK
NOW BEING WORN THROUGHOUT GREAT BRITAIN.
Women in almost every city and town in Great Britain are now wearing dresses on the model of one which the Duchess of Gloucester saw at the British Industries Fair and immediately ordered for her own personal wear. The Duchess stopped to admire the tapestry linen garments exhibited by a Nottingham firm. She had one made to her own measurements, and later wrote to the firm expressing her satisfaction.
Queen Mary stopped at the same stand to admire some Macclesfield silk frocks, and the result has been that since the Fair the exhibitors, a 76 yearold firm, have done a larger trade than ever before.
