The question has been asked as it really true
that robes Vanniers are much worn in Paris ~
This question may be answered either mega
lively or a1irmatively, according to what is
understood by the word 'panniers." Every
dress looped up behind and at the sides so as to
puff the dress out is called ToOe a paniers, aud
this style is very much ndopted but the verI-
table paniers, of which some models have been
given, are by no means generally worn, and
most probably will never be much IN favor One
of the pIetliCst styles Is tGat OF the costume,
either tune or casaque, loopcd up at the sides
by bows. 1t is the most simple method of form.
ing paniers but there are a variety of ways of
arranging these skirts-by plalts at the side and
back It GU q short skirt or tunlc or only at the
sides for a casAque open in The front; upon these
plaits q bow or rosete Of tue same material as
the dress is placed, aid costume "UamargO' Is
thus formed.
Other dresses are looped up so as to puff out
only across the back; this may be accomplished
by means of buttons placed on the skirt. 1t is
necessary to make these dresses rather full at
the back, although quite fiat in front and put
slightly full ut the sldes, the principal of the
.iUlness being thrown TO the back.
The toweauX robes, cut on the bias at the
back, are no longer made; on the contrary, the
back breadths are always gathered at the top,
aud not at al gored.
For the present style of dress, very much Of
lis graceulness depends upon the pettlcouts
being well made; the back should be well
starCnCd, aud the gathers 50 arranged as to su3-
tain the dress elegantly. This Arrangement,
upon which depends the proper set, divides
the camaroo in two at the back, each piece
being gathered horizontally on TO a tape.
1t is certainly, as we before remarked, rather
an art 10 wear these costumes well, and m my
ladies' make themselves look extremity ridiculous
by the eXagg Grafton Of the present fashion, The
actual mode, adopted with taste and without
eXaggeratiou, Is very pretty
The trimmings most used upon costumes and
thin toIlettes are tulle and Spanish lace, stray
passementerle, fringes with rich headings, or
feather irnges; also shaded mOther.ot-pe3rl
buttons-these latter only, Of course, for
morning dress.
this season, Our model list OF dresses will be
found particularly adapted for country or sea-
side wear for the promenade, or Tor the evening
reunions at ChateauX, and our subscribers wall
find quite as much care and taste are displayed
