Most of the season’s ona piece suits are cut down to deep decol- letes in back, Some of the slashes g0 to the waistline and leave the back entirely eéxposed to sun or sea. Buyers for some of New York's big houses are . having ‘dickies” fitted into t'hé V and U shaped openings. By using contrasting colors they get something of the backless [effect. . Other buyers have ordered the suits made with backs. Still another method s to match eacl backless bathing suit with a beach robe, whicl will hide the otherwisé exposad drea.
