VARIOUS KINDS OF SLEEVES
To say the least. sleeves are bizarre Trimmed
TO the last degree OF elaboration. they are as
well wonderfully intricate in design. Most OF
them are cut with the bodice. and really over
shadow IT. Many Of the "dressy" sleeves end
above the elbows and are completed by short
undersleeves that serve merely to cover the ell
bow, usually the "unpretty" part OF any arm
This years sleeve is so different in form from
that of last year II is almost impossible to re-
arrange it. thus making life somewhat harder
for the little dressmaker."
On a bodice Of green silk and velvet piece
Of velvet began at the neck to form the sleeve;
pleated and brought down. It separated below
the shoulder, opening bebe of white
mousseline de sole. In one famous coutouriere' s
all the dress sleeves were very full, dropping
a little at the elbow and caught there by small
cuff; below this usually close undersleeve
of lace or mousseline de sole.
In evening gowns the sleeves We're mere sug-
gestions-a bit of drapery, or a lace scarf held
by a knot of ribbon. or the draperies of the
bodice accomplished the sleeve in some Won
drous manner. At this house an evening
bodice extraordinarily graceful composed en-
tirely of draperieS; vaguely outlining the shoul-
ders and bust, they We're held In place by a
tightly drawn wide belt. The sleeve part fell in
loose folds each side and finished by a
broad turned back cuff above a lace under
sleeve. in its turn terminated by a little cuff
just below the elbow. In short, the success OF a
toilette this season appears to depend the
sleeve.
Less strenuous are the sleeves Of tailored cos
tunes. They have changed little in form: per-
haps the funess at the top of the is bit
more pronounced. but the length remains the
same little above the wrist, allowing the cuff
of the white blouse to be seen beneath. The
demi-tailleur has usually a sleeve elaborate
a reception costume. 1t is trimmed with
crossway pleatings tucks and buttons. and
often shows some pretty white stuff under the
finish. 1t IS the becomingness to all figures and
TO all ages that has pulled this really dangerous
