Indexer Notes

The title panel was reproduced from a fashion design drawing submitted by reader Jo Ann Stevens. The Katy Keene figure was redrawn, probably by Cassie Bill, but the lettering and dress design were retained. The story also reproduces a photo of reader Loretta Kitchmire, modeling a dress design she submitted to a previous Katy Keene story.
