recently:

The ultra-tight skirt, on dresses In any
event, is not approved, and comfortable
fullness is let in either through the
medium of plaits or gathers.
The dress shown in the sketch would
develop extremely well in velvet or
velveteen, if it is to be real winter
dress. If for earlier wear velvet or
velveteen might be used for the bodice
section and the cuffs and crepe meteor
or satin for the remainder of the frock.
Or 1t might be developed in satin and
serge.
If the supply of black satin and navy
blue serge holds out women need have
no fear in regard to apparel for the
coming season, as from present indica-
tons these two are to be by all odds
the most popular materials.
The back of this dress Is cut exactly
like the front. The long pointed panel
effect into which the bodice is con
tinued Is important in that 1t gives
length of line to the finished frock.
Touches of metal or colored embroid-
cry trim the bodice, which fastens
with small, decorative buttons In the

To make the dress one and half
yards of velvet or other material will
be required for bodice and cuffs and
four yards of any preferred material
SO inches wide for the gown proper.
When considering the cost Of dress
or blouse on which embroidery is to
appear as the trimming-if expense Is
matter of moment-beads must be
omitted. Beads have advanced in price
from 100 to 400 per cent during the
past few months, according to type of
beads selected--that Is, steel, chalk,
glass. etc. Latest reports indicate their
cost Is still going up.
However, fortunately, one can strug.

Embroidery will undoubtedly be
used to a great extent as trimming
during the fall and winter season, but
various braids are also favored, and
piplngs In contrasting color or fabric
are being used.
