RIBBONS USED ON PLAIN GOWNS

The decolletage of the evening gown
offers unlimited possibilities for ribbon
decorations. One garniture which ex-
tended around the decolletage and well
down the front was fashioned from
three shades of pink satin ribbon.
Small looped flowers were first mount
ed upon strappings of featherbone, at
irregular intervals, and into the spaces
were added large flowers with ragged
ends of broad ribbon. A cluster of the
smaller blossoms hung down grace
fully over the shoulders. This same
garniture is seen on an evening gown
of pale pink net, in which a scintillat-
ing pattern of shimmering gold ap-
pears. The garniture in that instance
was made from gauze ribbon spangled
with sequins and mock gems.
Ribbon offers many possibilities for
trimming purposes. and simple gown
may be greatly enhanced by the appli-
cation Of ribbon garniture in many
forms. The sash is one, and this brings
into vogue one of the prettiest and most
becoming fashions for many years.
Handsome ribbon tied in a great bow
at the back OF the waist is indeed
charming vogue, and is especially
adapted to the slender girl.

mounted some very fine Brabant lace.
This gave pretty fluffy effect, which
would be particularly becoming to 4
