Vincent Lalli presents the cape bolero In rough tweed, with plain front and cape back; swinging full from the shoulders to the hips. Suzanne Augustine makes the cape bolero In striped wool to match a day dress and gives it cleeves by cunningly draping the folds of the cape.
Battic Carnegie adds small flirtatious capes swinging from the shoulders of her suit jackets; and Claire McCardell shows them for country wear, hip length and rounded, teamed with a tweed skirt.
