and trimming Of dresses, and one which will
create some commotion among ladies short
and ladies tall. ladies stout and ladies small.
/ This change has not been brought about with
out struggle. For a year past the leading
queens Of beauty and Of fashion-thoso wo-
men who look lovely in any bonnet and eve
ny dress-haye endeavored TO introduce the
gored skirt. formerly worn by their stately
grandmothors. Their efforts were unayailng
for time and many ladies hoped the thing
would fail. But the devotees Of gored skirts
persisted, and the year 1861, Spring and
Summer. will witness their triumph. The
gored dress will soon be the rage, and from
specimens seen yesterday, one feels compelled
TO say that IL must be extremely becoming,
especially to tall figures. strange fact in
relation 20 these gored dresses is this They
have not been worn since the days Of the A.
mcrican Revolution. Our patriotic grand
mothers Of those glorious days wore them,
and now this unique fashion has returned to
adorn the daughters Of another day of Revo-
luton. Truly, this is a noteworthy freak Of
fashion.
But the gored dress Of our time is slightly
different from those Of the past The dress
OF eighty years ago had but two breadths in
the skirt, and the waist was directly under
the armpts While the one Of SCI has from
six 20 seven yards width around the bottom
Of the skirt, and a corsage elegantly fitted,
being neither too long nor too short. For
morning neg'ige the skirt and corsage are cut
in one piece, with tight or half bishop
sleeve For dinner dress the corsage is de-
tachcd in front, thus relieving it OF its morn
ing robe appearance. The sleeves and skirt
are richly and elegantly trimmed. From three
