The two pictures above show the dress which Loretta calls her "peach pick-up." (She bought it in about fifteen minutes). The material is peach-colored angel skin, the skirt lines are bias-cut, and the narrow belt comes just a speck below the natural waistline— a very good place for a belt, by the way, if you're a much-curved person.

(There's a picture of the coat on page 68.) But occasionally I get perverse and wear a little cream and tan panther skin coat for evening, although it's supposed to be a sport coat.
