"Plaidness Done Biasly"

Tonight:  Back to  business with some "advanced thinking" about suits.

Karen Radkai

How demure she looks.  Also, too young for this suit.   Some choice verbiage:

"Fort Worth Avenue now or Fifth Avenue under fur -- a slim suit of miniature plaid worsted, etched in black and white.  The plaidness, done biasly around the jacket hem."

Fort Worth Avenue, I'm guessing is Miami.  No, Dallas.  So, probably not a reference to resort wear.  That skirt just looks dowdy.

Credits: Paul Parnes suite ($145 -- $1,161 today.)  I don't think this looks quite that expensive - even at Vogue prices.   Available at Bonwit Teller, I. Magnin, Julius Garfinkel, Montaldo's -- so nowhere now existing.  Lilly Dache hat; Fiancees shoes.

I know we've had Lilly Dache before, but I can't remember a thing about her.  I know we'll have her again, so, in the meantime, here she is on What's My Line?

Kind of a boring hat, though.

Tomorrow:  another suit.
