Transvestia

worn for all occasions, such as mink, but as a general rule, sport furs such as raccoon will not look well for evening wear. Your bag will be a small one of fabric like velvet or silk crepe which blends with the costume. Of course, there will be gloves, usually white or of the fabric and color of the dress. This type of dress can be worn for restaurant dining, theatre, informal dances when your escort is wearing a business suit or a tuxedo.

Correctly speaking evening wear depends on what the man of the hour is wearing. Strictly formal clothes call for the man to wear his tail coat, but men have gotten sadly out of the habit of doing this. Formal clothes are appropriate when your escort is in his tuxedo. However you should realize that it is not really correct. Formal evening clothes are very lovely, made of beautiful materials and gorgeous co- lors. Usually there is very little bodice to the dress, but again do not be too anxious to expose a bony back or shoulders. Try to camouflage it a bit with a floating scarf. Here is the time to wear stunning jewelry, but if you do not own any really good pieces, it is better to go without. There are always lovely evening wraps to wear with evening clothes. Usually they are luxu- rious in velvet and fur. Sandals and ultra sheer hose should blend with the dress. A hat is out of place with this costume, but occasionally fashion sponsors the mode for elaborate coiffures and the use of hair or- naments which really give a lovely effect. Evening gloves may be of kid, suede or fabric and a bag will probably be very elaborate of pearls or rhinestones or of gold or silver brocade or lame'. These clothes are very perishable and have to be taken care of. They are usually worn only a few times and thus become an expensive item in your wardrobe.
