They’Ve Banished The Bosom

Christian Dior winter fashions are reported to have banished the bosom from women's shapes. But Dior is far behind Honolulu and Fiji, where the muumuu has done this, and other things, for some years. ’ At one time in Fiji, use of the muumuu called forth a query as to “when?”. But nowadays it is so popular that nearly every teenager wears one, and as a badge of approaching maternity it no longer carries any weight.

A slimmer edition, the Fijiana, produced by an old Fiji identity, Miss Doris Mune, who runs a shop at Lautoka, is somewhat slimmer, with side slits after the Chinese fashion and very becoming. It made its debut at the mannequin parade at Nadi Festival, and is already being worn around town. —AJCF
