Sep. 09, 1952 - Ladies hire department opened at Moss Brothers: Few society women can afford the seven or eight dresses for evening occassions which a London season demands. No visitor coming from overseas by air can carry with her all the party clothes she will need on arrival in England. Still less can the average woman afford a new gown for a sudden occassion for which she finds herself uprepared. Moss Brothers, the London Hire firm have solved this problem with the opening of their women's hire department, which has been enlarged. Photo shows these three gowns, which have been cleaned, can be hired for three guineas. (L. to R.) A chiffon gown called Neopolitan Ice'; a black and beige brocade and a white bubble nylon with fixes stole
