STRIPES HAVE CHARM
Charm and grace are heightened by this unusual use of the broad stripe. Effective, yet simply achieved, width of material is placed across the front of the figure and caught low at back with a central seam running to hem. Note the natural flare and pointed train. Bodice is tailored to the figure with button fastenings at back, squared decolletage and off-shoulder sleeved topped with a staccato flounce of the striped material. This model, in heavy silk, is essentially flattering to the older woman.
