The Beauty of It - when the dress is mauve satin with an enormously full skirt held out with a lining of stiffened satin with a separate stole - Mark Mooring design
Once popular mauve is a colour that has disappeared from fashion
although it's a great summer shade and dynamite with a tan
THE NIGHT WAS MADE FOR LACE
Lace over wool in the newest silhouette of the season. Wool sheath, narrow as can be under a sleeveless cape of Chantilly lace.
A shorter version with a swing jacket of lace would work equally well. The secret is the flimsiest of lace to wear as a float over drama.
Lace over pink silk taffeta embroidered with clusters of rhinestones bound tightly with a wide pink satin sash. Custom at Hattie Carnegie
Nice sleeve and neckline details
BLACK PAPER TAFFETA fitted tightly to a point low on the hips, then flaring as a flamenco dancer's dress. the low decolletage underlined by a band of heavy lace over flesh-coloured taffeta with a black taffeta flange.
Maurice Retner's dress to dance in. Burnished copper slipper satin with a fitted balance veiled in lace. The Shoes - Delman; Palter De Liso; I. Miller
More examples of the pretty toes that peep from beneath your evening finery - Julianelli; I. Miller; Renee Montague; Newton Elkin; Frank Brothers ...
SILK THAT STANDS ALONE
Valentina design in heavy Chinese red Silk damask. The sleeves, completely separate pull-ons.
Great sleeves for hiding unattractive arms, yet still affording a sexy neckline and back.
BLACK VELVET FLATTERY
Black velvet strapless with jet-embroidered jacket by Ceil Chapman
Black velvet piped in silk braid by Berenice Holloway
Fitted fantail jacket over straight skirt by Capri
When a formal's too formal - a black velvet suit
THE EVENING DRESS
Under a black velvet cartwheel Dior's shoulderless bodice and his celebrated evening skirt, like a sidesaddle skirt twisted to the back.

MORE DIOR
Bodice shaped like a ships prow maintained by a built-in black velvet brassiere, the skirt falls in telephone book folds.
