That we will see great number

/ the dressamakerS circles, and as the

without discomfort, it is not unlikely

! effects of some other material laid
over the gown The underdress
must be the main color, absolutely
well fitted and trimmed with nuns
| hem, tucks or bands or embroidery
or insertion. The upper part of the
! gown forms the DOGice, yoke and

A beautiful dress of the type was
developed from silver grey MESA
| line with a tunic of embroidered filet
| net showing faint tints of green

and sides and decorated with deep
| fringe which ended Just on the line
with the side portions This over
dress of the embroidered net also

the messaline ruffles began Of
course such a dress is trying to any
! but a well made figure but the art
of the corsetiere has become expert
! enough to overcome all but the
greatest faults of figure.
\ second gown Of the Moyanage
mode was of batiste over a corn vel
low and had the usual elongated
bodice with plated skirt attached
at the widest point of the hips under
