The Little Coat

A Piquant Addition to Frocks A new variation of the two piece mode is the introduction of little tuandarin jackets of flimsy material Jcompleting an equally fragile dress. Sometimes a jumper suit of the "dressy" variety, of white crepe de Chine with touches of coloured embroidery, will have a" little coat of the same fabric entirely covered with ¢he same work. Or a "fussy" frock of yellow voile will have a matching coat of the voile entirely Jcovered with white cobwebby stitching and a soldier-like stripe of em-[broidery down each side of the skirt. The coat has a larger collar than the usual straight strip; one cut on slightly circular lines which stands up and flops slightly round the neck; and some sort of elaborate circular Dell end to the sleeves. These coats fare also made of flowered cretonne covered with embroidery, and of tricot crochet in wool and silk. Some Tittle coats on these lines are also made for tennis, of fine white flannel Lound with white silk braid and embroidered at regular intervals with neat posies of flowers in wool.
