These bodices are buttoned up the
back. and unlike the old-timers with
numerous seams. they have only the
one at the shoulder, which caps a per,
fectly tight and long sleeve.
Mostly these bodies are developed
in velvet. OF shade that contrasts
with the dressy skirt For instance. a
striking Redfern gown has appeared
with draped skirt OF black panne vel
