Top left: A light-as-air dance frock of organza is candy striped in gay hues. The deep V neckline is attractive and the waistline is defined with a wide sash of deep purple taffeta.
Left: White lace and stiffened net in an evening frock with a graceful spreading skirt. A wide turquoise blue sash finishes the back and turquoise beads are sprinkled on the bodice, which is held by narrow shoulder-straps.
Left: Of navy sheer is this evening gown, which is cut simply and straight to the knees, where is attached a wide circular skirt with gipsy stripes at the hem. The stripes also mark the knees, waistline, and top of bodice, and are in red, metal gold, blue and mauve.
Left: With a dance frock of geranium chiffon is worn a matching shortsleeved coat of stitched and shirred chiffon. Wide bands in gipsy yellow and deep blue form a sash, with a bow at the waist.
Right: Another version of the candy stripe on a white background of the finest organza. There is a satin stripe in pale buttercup and the other stripes are fuchsia and blue. The blue flowers at the base of each shoulder-strap of the gown match the sash.
—Fashions by courtesy of Hordern Brothers, and selected from their spring collections, the preview of which opens tomorrow.
