One-Piece Frocks for Midwinter

The one-piece frock has its advantages for the busy women of today, and now divides honors with the tailored suits in the estimation of business or socially active people. Certain of these one-piece models were launched at the beginning of the season under a new and very adequate namer as “all-day dresses. This title describes them and points out their advantages for the woman whose Tff- S ftfirs give her little time for making changes *of her costume. The one-piece dress Is developed in all the fabrics that are used for suits, and in some that are not' often used f6r suits. In the picture above, a fsock of dark -blue tricotine demonstrates how effectively this practical material has been worked up into a tailored dress that is charmingly graceful and chic. It is really a masterpiece of designing with a panel down the front from neck to Jtiem. and a hew; management of the sides of the skirt where big patch pockets are set on. Below them the material in wide plaits simulates a long tunic. The panel at the front ayoids being too

plain by means of a tuck s»et in on line with the pockets, and above It are pendent silk ornaments. Below the tuck, round-covered buttons are set on with the beautiful accuracy that is the glory of tailored cloittes. The waist is bloused and front, affording a straight-line Jsilhouette. Buttons and pendents embellish the panel in it, and buttons finish off the long and shapely s/eeves. This model has the unusual virtue of looking well on almost aany/figure. ' Snpn furnishe§~ttr@oest material for a frock like that at the right. It is simply designed, being a three-tier skirt and a stnock with Satin-covered buttons and sash by way of adornment. .
