I admired this suit at Ascol.” Not so long- ago it went to Buckingham Palace, when Miss Prince was presented to the Queen.
With her tall, slim gure, red-gold poodle haircut and simple, wardrobe, Fay is one of the outstanding young women of the 1952 summer season. She has style and youthful elegance.
At Ascot this was noticeable when many unhappy girls shivered in unsuitable short- sleeved organdie, covered in bitty bows and flowers, beside their well-dressed mothers.
