BLACK FROCK NECESSARY
PLEATED SKIRTS THE VOGUE A good black afternoon frock and a well-cut suit are rivals of importance in a woman's wardrobe. At this time of the year when summer frocks of pastel and printed silk are beginning to lose their first bloom, the black frock comes, into its own for late summer and autumn and later on in the winter is admirable for wearing in the house. Good material is essential, for the cheaper crepes and silks tend to have a rusty look about them. Pleated skirts arc very much the vogue, but if you prefer something more classic rely on the bodice for distinction. Schiaparelli favours widely-spaced smocking on black crepe bodices, and Piquet zig-zag shirring. Chanel likes the apron line, and often it is seen attached spiral fashion and completed with an angular bow at the waist.
