Tho tea gown has never been lost to
sight since it first camo into general
use. and this dressy affair is courted by
many women both summer and winter.
A gabrielle front and vatican back arc
inseparablo from the regulation tea
gown. though tho most elaborate and
newer editions of this style of dress are
more like fancy princess dress than
anything else. However, in this, as in
all other garments, variety is the rule,
and the manner of trimming and change
of materials lend style and effect to tho
garment more than the original cut,
