Illustration of two models wearing evening gowns. The model on the left is wearing a gown featuring a pearl bead-embroidered satin bodice with a split-topped decolletage, and a sinuous velvet skirt that is accompanied by a long velvet stole trailing to the floor; by Jacques Fath. The model is also wearing a net cloche hat with a spray of feather plumage; also by Fath. The model on the right is wearing a brown velvet mermaid-silhouette dress that is topped by a bias-cut fold of satin with a large bow. The gown's hemline curves up to reveal the ankle and kicks out from behind the knee; by Balmain. Signed "Eric/Paris/48" by artist.
