THE WORLD

OF WOMEN

You're Up to the Neck in Style in the New Evening Gown

By Joan Envay

DECOLLETAGES which are high in front and low at the back, covered shoulders, and bach

fullness are the outstanding features of now evening gowns for forma} ̈ ́wear. with gold or silver touches, and the pastel shades, particularly pále blue, are the favourite colour choices of women who dress to attain great chic.

A cord wash of silver and white goes around the normal waistline, ties on one side and trails to the iloor, where it ends in two large tessels. The buck of the gown features intricato details which give the desired fullness. And last, but by no means an na-
