The Correct Stone.

The Directoire robes need to be
cunningly fashioned with a tight
foundation, to have the loose folds
shape in to the figure and at the
waistline and reveal the swell Of the
hip. There is very little difference
between the Directoire and Empire
robes, save in the detail. The Direct
ORE has the swathing bands that
come below the bust and draw the
robe in to the figure, and the sleeves
are Of elbow length, whereas the so
called Empire has shorter sleeves,
and the bands Of the bodice come
above or across the top of the bust,
and do not draw the folds beneath
into the form.
The princess robe, as distinguish
ed from these, is tight-fitting, but in
all there is the unbroken line from
the bust to the floor. The terms en-
pire princess and princess are suffi-
cient for practical purposes to differ
entiate them.
