I PICK A
WIMBLEDON
WINNER..
TERE is my tip for the Wimbledon fashion winner I this year....the sleeveless bush shirt, worn belted over brief shorts or pleated skirt. It is boyish, casual and smart, a pleasant contrast to the frilly pants, flared Empire-line dresses and coloured petticoats of recent years.
Other interesting fashions ut Wimbledon this year will be tailored undershorts and snow-white, proofed gaberdine
windcheaters,
Anne Shllcock. Shirley Bloomer
and Pat Ward,
