The princess tunic or cuirass has
developed into many far-fetched
| phases since 1t first took the fashion
world by storm last spring. They
may be seen in the most wonderful
variations and practically no limit is
/ placed upon the ingenuity of the de-
| signers. Some of the designs are
extremely odd, but their picturesque
ness redeems them from being too
| extreme. Picturesqueness seems to
! be the principal aim of tn designers
and in many cases they succeed un-
commonly we'll.
| Paris dressmakers are making
foulard dresses with amazing full
skirts, some of them measuring ten
F, yards around the hem, and they are
i actually gathered into the waist.
But these 3 WIS have no: yeg L 'ade
their debut in New York, although
a pronounced fulness is gradually
becoming noticeable. A popular way
of making the skirt of fOulard dress
es is with a deep plated flounce,
which rises to just below the hips
and there joins the plain fitted upper
portion of the skirt.
This upper part of the skirt may
be cut all in one, with the rest of
the dress. with long, uninterrupted
! line from neck to hip, or it may be
broken by some arrangement of belt
or girdle, or trimming, Stimulating
either at the waistfine But if the
skirt flounce be killed the plaits
must be pressed absolutely fiat, al
/ though a gathered flounce is some
times used The deep skirt fiounce
is the entirely new and striking part
of the design.
Little One-piece dresses OF foulard,
trimmed only with big. satin-covered
buttons. and having turn-dOwn coll
lar and deep cuffs of lace or lin
gerie effect are worn much by young
| girls. They make delightfully."- cool
and light little dresses to run about
in and have the advantage over lin
ems that they do not crush or soil
so easily
Every woman who intends to
spend the hot months at some fash
ionable resort or at the country
home of some friend, will meet negli-
&c gowns for wear in the evening,
when she is enjoying the refreshing
/ breeze on the piazza, surrounded by
! her feminine friends. In some of
the better class shops one may pick
| up some charming peignoirs and
| boudoir gowns which are copied
| from French models, yet are not
marked with prohibitive prices for
! the average pocketbook.
Some of the boudoir gowns dis
| played are difficult TO distinguish
| from dinner gowns. so closely have
the Greek irapery and tunic effects
of the present mode been followed.
! There are lace tunics. falling full
| length over crepe de chine and satin
slips. and there are gorgeous satin
coats mounted over lace-like under
robes.
The requirements of the present
style of tight fitting gowns have
/ caused the elimination of nearly
everything in the line of under gar
ments that is too bulky to adapt it
self to skin-tightness. The few I'M
| dergarments that may be worn must
be soft as gossamer and fine as cob
webs. but they need by no means
| be plain. Quantities of beautiful
lace in medallions and insertions are
set into sheer fabric, and hand or
machine made embrOideries of ex-
| quisite delicacy are used. Some wo-
men pay fabulous sums for the deli
cate lingerie petticOats which are
worn now beneath even street tall
ored costumes of wool and mohair.
Silk and satin underskirts have been
completely ousted by the lingerie
styles. Some of these petticoats,
seen below the lifted street frOcks,
are so luxurious in character that
one feels it is actually sinful to ex-
pose anything so lovely to the CRIME
and hard wear of the pavements and
that such petticoats should be kept
for ballroom frocks only or for wear
with dainty negliges, which would
at least reveal their beauty.
Some of the very smart corset
shops are showing extra long cor
sets with hip yokes of soft, unboned
material, fitting the hips and thighs
| like a glove. At the lower edge of
! this hip yoke is set an embroidery
