The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-08-27

The skirt is built separately from the
bodice, which has the newest develop
nent of the kimono idea-the sleeve
applied flatly to the edge OF the arm
eye and distinctly stitched on TO it in
stead of being cut.in-one with the
body of the garment. This produces
the long, dropping shoulder, and ac-
cords perfectly with the fichu or
pointed drapngs of the loosely fitting
fronts of the blouse.
The wholesale use of fringes is an
indication that ciinging effects are to
continue the vogue for months to
come, for when such trimmings edge
ruffles and flounces, it is obvious that
those frillings cannot be Of the stick
ont type, but perforce must droop de.
fringes a-plenty are used, but so are
the shorter ones, and Of late the quar-
ter-inch strands of stubbly, grass-like,
crinkly silk are being put on the bot
tom Of house skirts. thus giving q frilly
appearance about the feet that is pleas
ing TO every truly feminine follower of
fashion.
The reign of the tunic is not to be
disputed. 1t is on nearly every deni-
toilette, and it is of every conceiv-
able length and shape, and the license
which Dame Fashion takes with every
type of garment which she stamps with
her APPROVAL, is responsible for these
differences. All of these tunics are
ing to the figure, but the nearest re-
semblance 10 the Greek garment is the
very practical model which shows a
shorisleeved. round -necked and mar
row, straight-skirted slip Of shot taf
feta or plain satin yelled with full
length tunic OF monsseline de sole or
marquisette or silk voile. The woman
who must needs furbish up a gown for
various demi-formal occasions, Will in
stantly appreciate the. advantage of
having full length tunic. for it will
eoncesl a defective slip, whereas the
one worn beneath a knee-length tunic
must necessarily be in first class con-
dition.
Black velvet. which played so prom
ineut a role in the summer wardrobe,
shows no sign of retreating from its
strong position. Rather, il is on the
offensive and boldly bringing forward
its colored allies, and in this il isl
aided and abetted by the glsce or shot
.affetas, for it is new fancy Of
Fashion to use bands and applications
OF velvet matching tho shade Of the
groundings of the shot silks. This use
or eolored velvets may seem . tIifle
heavy for the last weeks Of hot
weather, but then there arc cooler days
ahead, and for them every woman
should be prepared. This cruwding Of |
themselves ahead Of their rightful sea- |
son, on the part Of the eolored vcfvosa
is help rather than a detriment to |
the makersovcr Of last springs demi- |
toilettes, for they are bringing for, |
ward a mode often admired in the
fashion magazines Of thirty years ago, |
namely, the velvet pestiooat worn BE-
meath the taffeta or silk cashmere |
draperies and the little Sleeveless bo- |
leros, than which no garments are more
eoquettish- Velvet combined With 4 |
transparency is not 4 novelty. but the |
present ways Of using ;hs two fabrics
together are decidedly new. A slip of |
black, bronze, hunters green or gray
vcivot-all that remains OF 4 former |
street eostume-is frankly draped with |
crepe de chine. bordered with an an.
p!iqued design IN velvet. This SORT
OF establishment implies a great deal
OF costly handwork, but many women
arc doing 1t FOR themselves instead Of
spending the same amount Of time and
