Latest London Fashions Step Back Two Decades
Above-This "frock." shown at a February fashion show in London, is made of a knee- length white eyelit tube. The skirt and the hip sash are of black satin.

At Right-A sheer white or gaudie ballet-length frock helted in eyelamen ribbon. The huge cyclamen gros-grain picture hat matches the straps of the white slip worn' under the frock.
