Fashion Note
Obviously originality is to be our cue for summer dressing. So fat as fabrics go the designers are all with us. It remains to study our type and match our moods with garments that express us most individually. When it comes to house-frocking there’s only one rule-shoulders wide, please. These ate peaked audaciously to match the youthfully-placed bodice fullness. Note how it comes, inconspicuously from under the demure lace collar and retreats again into the shaped and stiffened belt. That, the front buttoning and the fully gathered skirt are undoubtedly derived from peasant vogues. This more sophisticated expression of them is altogether flattering. Try it out in the gay fancy stripes that are offering everywhere.
