GENERAL TREND: The simple, casy to wear line, following the natural structure of the body. is closely rivalled by a pre-war influence, with tunic tops and pannier skirts.

It is charming and youthful, but needs a alim figure. Have the top part in a contrast- ing colour or material from the skirt part- which must be moulded to give a princesse line at the waist-or mark the line of demarcation by piping, if you are short and cntumot afforil to cut your figure.
