ONE INCH SHORTER
LENGTH OF ROYAL SKIRTS The Queen has settled the controversy over the length of skirts which _has been going on among fashion experts since the war started. The Queen has ordered her spring wardrobe with the skirts an inch shorter than usual. Thus the skirts will fall five inches below the knee when she is seated. The Sunday Dispatch understands that the Queen regards as unbecoming the brief knee-length skirts currently featured by some designers. The Queen has popularised the two-piece suit, which will be the chief innovation of the spring collections. It is a simply cut frock with a full skirt and soft bodice, worn under a long, matching loose coat. The Queen favours off-the-face hats, also pork-pie hats.
