For dining luxuriously, but not formally, Isabel Jeans wears a gracefully draped black crepe frock, accented with a double chain of heavy gold metal. Her finger-tip cape is of luscious blue fox (perishable but oh, so flattering!) and is squared at the shoulders. A blue fox gauntlet muff adds distinction to this costume, and so does the eye-concealing black antelope beret, shot through with a teal blue quill. Left — Very unusual indeed is this white dinner suit sponsored by Joan Bennett. It comprises a long, slithering skirt of crepe and a slip-on sweater of solid crystal beads. A short swagger coat of crepe, lavishly panelled in white fox completes this ensemble. Silver kid slippers are worn with it. (Remember that white is always most effective on blondes, no matter what the season). Crisp black taffeta is always charming for the ingenue. Priscilla Lane demonstrates this fact in her high-waisted gown topped with a matching bolero with flaring peplum. The taffeta is embroidered with a scroll design in turquoise blue velvet, and the camisole bodice is held up by turquoise velvet ribbon bands. The skirt is gored and boosts a fishtail train.
