SHORT BALL GOWNS
The law of skirt lengths is being laid down in London ballrooms. Smart women are dancing in “ glamour lame” dresses 16 to 17 inches off the ground. The new short dresses have not yet reached the provinces. “ Women are still wearing ground-length dresses at dances in towns where troops are stationed,” a well-known dress designer in Carlos Place said. “ These gowns look tawdry in the ballroom.” The only occasions on which the well-dressed woman will wear a ground-length dress today are in her own home or when she dines out. Short dance frocks are made with attractive back movements in the form of pleats or other fullness so that they swing as the wearer dances. They are cut low in front, zip fastening up the back, with short sleeves squared at the shoulders.
