Illustration of two models wearing:
Left: A black serge knee-length dress with bishop sleeves, white serge ribbon at the collar and cuffs, a white lace petticoat, and a row of closely-spaced small buttons fastening the close-fitted bodice.
Right: A blue wool dress with a snugly-fit buttoned bodice descending to a peak at the front of the waist, a knee-length pleated skirt, over a white organdie guimpe.
Both dresses by Mainbocher.
