Cotton "Tub" Frocks.

The little Princesses' Bummer wardrobes are now being planned. They will consist chiefly of cotton ["tub" frocks with crisp full skirts, little buttoned bodices, square necks and puff sleeves. They will jeb made of pique voile, and blue is the predominating colour. Prin- cess Elizabeth is to have a dress patterned with blue cornflowers on a white ground, and among the wedgwood, sky and turquoise blue prints there is an old favourite--- butcher blue cotton with a denign of red and white stars.

A charming cotton print chosen for Princess Margaret has white ground dotted with black leaves and pink and blue starry flowers.
