One of the difficulties of shows is that of getting to Paris to see them. In the meantime nobody can think of anything but pockets, and again Pockets. Some dresses seem made first of pockets and then of skirt. A pretty development is seen in the shirt-dresses, These are made sophisticated by the use of soft blues and yellows in a thin wool and a much-gored short skirt. The dress has the shirt top and buttons down the whole length of the front. On either hip is a large pouch pocket with a flap top. This pocket takes the place of a hip-yoke. Alternatively, it gives the becoming line of the tunic.
Where skirts have previously looked bald or uninteresting the pocket comes to help. This is, of course, one of the essentially reasonable pockets. It will be used, and it looks workmanlike. Further developments, which are plainly ornamental, are the suit-blouses with no fewer than three little flapped pockets down each side, beginning at the yoke line and ending just above the belt, Those blouses are made of cire jersey, and are worn with perhaps a narrow plain black skirt and a short smock-like loose coat, also made of jersey, usually in a bright colour.
