around them.

6 — Wide, loose coats.

These six points result in a free, comfortable style for the lady. Christian Dior has laid stress on the roundness of the hips, so that the dress wraps easily around

them; he also makes much use of sashes tied in large or small knots, or draped — and hardly any dress, however simple, is without a knot at the collar or on the belt.

In suits, the long jacket in the

"Canadian" style with its wide belt prevails; the colors, too, are mostly bright, lending the lady a spirit of gaiety and cheer — such as red and blue — while for coats and suits gray abounds.
