Popular Styles for Daytime Wear
Simple daytime frock. —For general wear the well-dressed woman demands a style which is simple in design yet reflects the most popular style elements of the moment. These elements are apparent in the frock illustrated above with its shaped yoke and smart skirt cut to suggest something different in panels. It is a style which will appeal in any seasonable fabric.
A style for matrons. —If you possess a matronly figure you will appreciate the style illustrated because it has been designed expressly to bring a slenderising influence to figures which are no longer slender. This happy result is brought about by a large collar which drapes softly in front and by the introduction of a panel down the front of the skirt. Plain or small figured fabrics suit this style equally well.
