day depends largely upon the sleeves,
which have reached such voluminous
size that they frequently require as much
as three yards of velvet Tor the short
sleeve.
The waists on some of the French
dresses are merely round, or just trile
pointed in the back to give length, but
on others there is princesse effect in

in the front.

back of the skirt by velvet breadths that
make slight demi-train.
