New York designer. The lace dress pictured above, at left, has an
especially flattering surplice-cape effect neckline. For afternoon wear
flat crepe continues to be popular. For the afternoon bridge party or
informal affair at home it lends itse’f most attractively. At right is
a Francse Clyne gown of flat crepe for more formal wear. Notice the
