RV 3 lined with gray crepe, would be most appropriate. If your best dress was a gray crepe silk, the coat and hat would go equally well with it. You might have also an evening dress of silvery blue that could be worn with the coat.

Considering brown as a general color note, you can work out an equally adaptable wardrobe. A brown cloth dress with cream batiste collar and cuffs would go nicely with a brown hat, having trimming of jade green ribbon. In this case, you might take the color of the hat trimming for your silk frock, making it a beaded jade green crepe. A brown velour cape or coat, lined with a matching shade of silk crepe, would complete the outfit. An evening dress of yellow crepe or taffeta could be worn with the coat, if you are not planning a special evening wrap. As a matter of fact, even if you have a special evening wrap, it’s just as well to have your evening dress match your top coat. There are always stormy nights when a perishable wrap is out of the question.

When it corner to selecting the style of your dress consider your individuality. There are styles enough to go around nowadays. No one has to wear an unbecoming, fashionable dress. Pick out your type of dress.
