THE STORY

BEHIND

THE FROCK

FASHIONS have never been greater fun than they are this spring.

In the evening we are a going in for fancy dress, and, what is more, we are getting used to it; in the daytime we swing along in little-girl frocks, so gay and youthful, with their wide skirts and closely- fitting little bodices.

Funny part of it-most of our little-girl frocks are a type of fancy dress, too..

Don't misunderstand me, by fancy dress I don't mean anything extraordinary or only fit for costume dances. For the true interpretation of the term "fancy dress" is really a style which has made history in the past but which has now gone out of fashion.

You can see the story behind these two frocks in their actual background. The one on the left is one of the fashionable peasant styles, with a two-colour contrast on the bodice. The one on the right is of monkish inspiration. Both are typically 1939.- (Selfridge.)
