Contrasting with these are his traditional off-the-shoulder-line frocke with puff sleeves and one or two-brassiere tops, all with crinoline skirts,

He shows very few straight evening dresses. Those he does, have fulness intro- duced cunningly into the skirt to give auf- ficient width for comfort. All are very simple.
