Vogue
VOGUE is the place to go for "different" cocktail and evening gowns, for the new and completely adorable creations of the Hollywood stars. Short-sleeved, swing- skirted successes with metal trims and lamas and such,
. one a green crepe with gold striped lame trimming; another, a lovely taffeta, heavenly blue, its tunic coat with silver embroidery; a flowered silk lame; a velvet cut on the princess line, a gorgeous colour --- the very glow of sunset, with a cluster of gold grapes at the neck; velvets, oh so many and so lovely! And a long velvet evening coat with taffeta lining. And how much more I could tell you! But you'll be going to VOGUE for yourself if you value glamour at such attractive prices.
