In the upper picture it appears as a twopiece frock of blue linen with burgundy cowboy motifs which would provide for many holiday occasions. Above, the skirt is changed for fishermen’s shorts to give freedom for athletic activity. On the right the blouse is removed to reveal becoming bra, and the shorts are changed for beach wear or tennis. Note the wide pouch bag in the upper picture. Posing for these photographs is Dorothy Moore, a rising young film star with Columbia.
