A Spring Two-Piece Frock

A Spring Two-Piece Frock

Winter is fast slipping away, and ahead lie the glorious days of spring—that magic season when the flowers appear and we begin to take a new interest in our clothes, and desire something new. It is quite time to start making your spring clothes now, otherwise when you want them they won't be ready. To start with let us make this little office and street frock—still lightly warm—yet a decided break from the rough tweeds, leathers and woollen jumpers of July and August. It has a coatee to slip on in the wind and discarded when the day is fine.

The rage for black and white, or green and white is spreading everywhere, and the effect, in the frock illustrated, is extremely smart.

Materials: Viyella is one of the nicest spring stuffs, and quite cheap; also very suitable for this two-toned effect. Make the frock from self-coloured viyella, plain style with fitting hips and semi-circular skirt (as in illustration), and the little coatee—extremely simple—from a checked viyella to match in tones. Notice the narrow checked border round the skirt hem, and the tie. A large light-weight felt hat will complete a useful outfit.
