The charming dinner frock in the photograph is very effective with its rich skirt. The brown silver brocaded blouse with long sleeves has a very uncommon front.
On left is a rich even . ing gown with very neat horizontally pleated corsage set off huge flower.
On the right is a luxurious princess housecoat, very glamorous with wide flat revers and puffed sleeves. Worn with a black silk cravat and topped off with large black drop earrings.
Unusual is the dinner gown above in the wide belted style with elbowlength sleeves. This style will support the lavish use of jewellery.
