Frocks for Summer Parties Flaunt Sheer Width and Flair

Summer frocks parade sheer fabrics in full skirts with side raperies and pleats to add width without bulk. Highlights include a fluffy tulle model in apricot and sea blue, a silk union gown with flesh chiffon yoke and picotted skirt, and black taffeta with rare dotted silk net. Tea-dance styles feature georgette prints and lace-and-pleated two pieces suitable for daytime sports wear.
