Description

"Backgammon Frocks" didn't necessarily feature shapes or patterns alluding to the game, but were a general term for outfits that could be fashionably appropriate to the weekend's dinner parties where chouettes would be in full swing. The geographical spread of backgammon mentions in women's fashion ads attest to the broad popularity of the game in fashionable circles across the country.
