  • THERE IS not all that much hot news in the underwear world. Women still remain woman-shaped - though any keen observer of the passing scene may sometimes have cause to wonder - and there's very little variation in their underpinnings. But a small stir has been caused by the arrival, from Paris, of the petti-bra. The bra section is lightly formed and stiffened. The petti part is fairly brief and the who confection, in fine white broderie anglaise, is threaded with sky blue ribbon. By "Roxie," price £5 19s. 6d.
