THE NEW SHAPE CORSET.
a Pronounced Change in the Model OF

y Pronounced Change in the MOuel OF
the Figure Predicted.
The fashionable modistes and wom-
ems tailors have announced to their
clients that they will fit gowns for next
season only over the new shape corsets,
while the cloak and mantle makers say
that all garments for the fall and win
ter trade will also be modelled for fig
ures wearing the same style. There is
a most pronounced change from the
old corset, whose chief end seemed to
be to accentuate the length of the
waist and to raise the bust.
The new corset has what the shop
girls call 1.-THE low bust" and Sudden
hip." The back is noticeably narrow.
the hips very full. and the bust entire
" without formation. Except at the
waist line the garment scarcely touches
the figure at all When worn the up
per edge just reaches TO tine lower l!ae
of the bust, thereby leaving it fully
exposed, but firmly held in place by the
line of the corset and the upper clasp.
which fastens Immediately in the cen
ter and little high up, it being the
highest part of the corset.
The hips and under arm pieces. being
remarkably full, have a tendency to in
crease the width of the bod :, giving the
wearer the fullness Of figure so notice
able in French fashion plates. OF
course this increase Of size just above
and below the waist has a tendency to
make it appear smaller than it really
IS The change will not be objected TO

hand, to women with a superabundance

short of an abomnation which they
will be slow TO adopt.-N. Y. Sun.
