Cocktail dress in fine
black wool with "bolster" neck
FOCUS ON THE NECKLINE How ToWash
IF
By Dorothy Barkley.
London,
you are planning a new cocktail dress or a new even- ing dress, here are two suggestions from the current Dorville collection showing two up-to-date styles of neck- line.
First comes the "bolster" collar, illustrated here on a dress of fine black wool. Obviously taking its inspiration from the ruff, it adds an unusual touch to an otherwise completely plain dress, and makes the perfect foll for jewellery. Although shown here en a wool dress, it could be made in a wide variety of materials to suit different climates.
By way of contrast is the simplicity of the neckline suggeal- ed for evening. This latest variation, in showing the trend away from the completely strapless top, favours not the halter-ncck, but' narrow matching straps, thin as shoelaces. The short ballerina-length dress has firmly established itself as an evening fashion, particularly amongst those who prefer to wear evening dress for the theatre. This design. In black velvet, is quilted all over in a diamond pattern. trimmed with bows, and had a crinoline skirt.
For day wear, Dorville offered the fur-trimmed cults so, much the vogue this acason. Most women, who refused to buy sulta or conts with für attached because they will be outdated long before outworn, will be interested in Derville's practical suggestion. Fur collars are attached not to the sult collar, but to an individual crepe "vest" which is worn beneath the suit so that the fur overlaps the sult collar. In this way, the sult will still be wearable long after the fur fashion
has died out
As a postscript to their collection, Dorville have designed a complete nection for the young working girl, or as she is usually
termed these days, the "Budget" girl. Thesu clothes have sheď natch of that "udlity" look during the past year and now show a more faithful reflection of current fashion, Suits here follow the "mlddy" line, dresses have faty all- round-pleated skirts, and fashionable fringe trimmings are on sult pockets. Colours include tobacco brown, and shades of blue varying from sky to blueberry.
