August. Warm
evenings. Outdoor parties. Barbecues. And the time when nightbirds come into their own! It doesn't really matter what you wear. Anything goes. But Beatle girl Patti Boyd shows you how you can be comfortably stunning. So come on . . . IT'S PARTY TIME! |

You want to look really
casual? Well, how's this outfit? The hipster pants are by Pentasport with fly front fastening and cost about £1 15s. The prison bar shirt has contrasting pastel and white stripes and there's also a knockout black and white combination. By Feminella it costs £2 2s. Like to see the boy who can resist this outfit! |
| For the slightly more sophisticated this, or to win over the boy who likes you to look smart ALL the time. It's a sugar pink and white Dollyrocker from Sambo. If you're a bit overweight the long expanse of narrow stripes will hide it. Ideal for the girl who doesn't watch her diet closely enough. And who can at a party? On this dress, the pink on the stripes, which also frills the neckline, matches up to the yoke. £3 3s. | 
| Patti, the lady with the lamp, is dressed in the palest of pinks and plum. The blouse is in a washable crepe spun fabric. It has a puritan collar and raised squares on the bodice of contrast stitching. By Majestic of New York. It sells at £4 9s 6d. The skirt in a deep plum colour with an unpressed front pleat and angle pockets , is in a washable cotton corduroy and also sells at £4s 6d. by Majestic again. |

The one snag with outdoor
parties is that you can't guarantee the wind won't blow! But you can get round it. This dress with a matching headscarf is by Marlborough. It's navy blue cotton with a smal white motif and a double frill at the hem. If you've just come back from holiday with a nice tan you'll look marvelous with the cut-away shoulder line. Price is about £5 5s. The dress is also available in a full length version on a slightly paler background. It has an even more delicate flower design. |

By the time night begins
to meet the morning and the fires to flag you might be thankful you fitted yourself out in a long shirt. They keep the draughts away! The skirt is finely quilted and has it's own matching headscarf. By Estrava it is available in three different colour combinations and costs £8 8s. The pale blue yoked blouse is by Feminella and costs £2 2s. |
