details

Immediately above you see size 34 in the dress. Note the cord finishing at waistline and the way sleeves are puffed up at the shoulder-line. © The Australian Women's Weekly

LIKE THE FROCK? Maize-yellow—an enchanting shade that suits the very fair and the dusky-haired type. If you are inclined to sallowness, however, do not choose this colored wool. © Australian Women's Weekly
