made with French back, that is, with
one seam In the centre and side stream
reaching from the sleeve and not from
the shoulder as formerly. 6hirring Is
much employed, some dresses having
the waist shirred around the neck, or
however, enly on slim ladies. Overskirts
are often shirred either In the centre or
upon the side seams and finished with
ribbon bows. Vatican costumes are
sometimes made in plain satin, or In the
brocade silks now SO fashionable. For
merly the Pompadour patterns in bro
cades were used only for cuffs, revers,
vests and so on, hut they are now made
up in the polonaise, TO be worn over
generally without trimming. the mate
rial being rich and heavy enough.

made o: these rich brocades, to be worn
