The two party frocks above are made of net over taffeta. The anklelength has a gathered bodice and a band of gathering inset in the skirt. Bands of ribbon tied with flat bows make a dainty finish. The short frock features a round neck, puff sleeves and a wide sash at the waist, tied with a large bow at the back. Housecoats are comfortable for children just before bedtime. The smock, above left is in one of the new striped cotton prints, made with a Chinese neckline and a corselet silhouette. The border around the neck and down the front is in a plain colour. At the far left the short sleeved tailored house coat is made of striped cotton also. Side ties and a front slide fastener are featured in an 11 to 16 housecoat with a Peter Pan collar.
