GREATER ATTENTION TO MAJOR DETAILS.
COURT GOWNS.
Length of Train, Neckline And Low Backs. KING TO APPROVE DESIGNS. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Received 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, January 27. Among the first duties of the King and Queen after their return from Sandringham next week will be to approve four designs for models of dresses for the coming Courts, says the "Daily Mail."
About 30 drawings will be submitted and will be scrutinised by the King and Queen jointly, the King approving the final choice, after which the designs will be sent to West End and Paris designers.
It is understood that last year a number of dresses with the overlow neckline aroused official displeasure. Unofficial instructions have already been given that greater attention must be paid to major details, such as the length of the train and the neckline, while low-backed Court gowns are especially restricted.
Designers welcome the restrictions, but admit their clients have their own views.
