Lace stages a big comeback not only in the early evening hoods that drape softly over evening coiffures, but in spiral ruffles to the skirts of frocks, in boleros, gloves, cuffs, frill ling and jabots.
Sequins glitter from scores of evening gowns. Buttons are gold, iver or shining mirror.
Even bead designs twine round the close-fitting bodices of evening frocks and spray in flowery designs over their flowing skirts.
Evening frocks are at once sophisticated and girlish, for their often severe high-necked bodices blow out into full graceful toe-length skirts.
Supple brocades, fine jersey cloths, lace and organdie are all used for the summer models, Backless gowns have long-sleeved boleros to transform them into something more serious and substantial at will.
Belts play an important part in the summer collection, Mostly they are very narrow and often very gay.
