PATOU’S LACE DRESSES shown at the spring collections in Paris were considered by Carmel Snow, editor of “Harper’s Bazaar,” to be the loveliest lace dresses in Paris. She selected the two illustrated as the smartest of the lace party frocks On the left is a white lace dress made with the long torso line. The lace is finely pleated between the torso and the band of lace forming the bottom of the skirt. Three white satin bows decorate the front. On the right is a light blue lace frock with a beautifully fitted torso. The skirt fullness begins where the torso ends. There is a ribbon bow on either side of the hip-line, and a flat bow in the centre front of the bodice.
