Many of these gowns have fitted orsages with long sleaves and moulded. hips to straight skirts, while others show fullness at hers. Organza is tailored, too, and in a plain white model from Maggy Rouff the slender skirt line curves away from a short centre front opening into a slight train. This uneven hem has two or three circularly-cut frills superimposed one above the other, and the high front corsage has Beau Brummell rubies from a neckline attached to s short collar that encircles" the nape about an open-back decollete.
