Naturally this formed four plain panels in the frock, one at the front, one at the back and one on either side. Naturally these panels; of vertical lines made the utmost efet of slenderness, and to accentuate this even more by contrast Worth gave the frock three belts. all narrow, ch separated from the other by about two and a half inches of space. little marvel.
