Background: THE MAIN FEATURE OF THIS ??? PRESENTATION BY THE LONDON FASHION HOUSE OF LACHASSE IS A POS??? LOWERING OF THE HEMLINES OF SKIRTS. THIS CHANGE HAS INFLUENCED THE WHOLE COLLECTION.

IN THE COLLECTION THERE ARE TWO JACKET LENGTHS - ONE VERY LONG AND ONE WHICH ENDS JUST BELOW THE HIP-BONE.

THE GENERAL AIM IN SUITS WAS SAID TO BE THE SOFTENING OF THE CLASSIC LINE AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE SOFT COLLARS AND THE SOFTER BODY FITTING.

ALTHOUGH THE WAIST IS SLIGHTLY DEFINED IN ALL OF THE CLOTHES, THERE IS DETAILED INTEREST ON THE HIGH HIPLINE WHERE CUTS OF BELTS ARE USED FOR EFFECT.

MANY OF THE DRESSES ARE SLEEVELESS WITH BODICES WHICH SHOW SIMULATED "PULLOVER" EFFECT ABOVE THE LOW-PLACED BELT.

THE REDINGOTE IS STRONGLY FEATURED AS THE OVERCOAT SHAPE. WITH THE MARTINGALE IN EVIDENCE, THE WAIST IS ALSO INDICATED AND THE SOFTNESS INTRODUCED.

IN GENERAL THE MATERIALS ARE OF PLAIN CLOTH, BUT WHERE PRINTED FABRICS ARE USED THEY ARE BRIGHT AND GAY.

SOME ENORMOUS FLORAL PRINTS FEATURE GIANT FLOWERS, AND THE ENTIRE COLLECTION FEATURES MORE DRESS AND JACKET ENSEMBLES THAN SUITS.
