NEW LEASE OF LIFE
Deft Gown Transformation
“The smartest thing nowadays is to make over last season’s gowns into this season's model,” says Helen Hayes. “I find that by the addition of the new collarettes, bibs, and capelets the old gowns take on a new lease of life, and often are smarter than before.
“One accessory I am rather partial to is a collarette jacket in black velvet. It is only shoulder length at the back, and slips on over a frock like a jacket; it has short sleeves banded by double ruffles. Another chic idea is an elongated bib, which slips on over the neck and ties at the centre back of the waistline.
“This also has short sleeves with double ruffles, and merely covers the front of the frock, being cut in a V at the sides. The bib is of white satin, but would look equally as smart in any other shade.”
