A Picture Frock

A Picture Frock.

If you are fond of soft feminine lines you will undoubtedly lose your heart to the picture frock illustrated, which would look delightful in a silk fabric, such as silk moracain, plain or patterned crepe-de-chine. Whatever material you finally decide upon, however, do please bear in mind that it should have a fair amount of weight in it if the flare is to be a real success. Light-weight fabrics look well pleated or gathered on the straight, but they are never at their best cut on the circular.

The picture frock is a wonderfully simple one to copy. It has a figure-fitting bodice, the edge of which is piped and joined to the flared skirt, which is set into a few gathers at each side. The neck is cut with a tight V, and has turned revers in front which continue and tie in long ends at the back.
