The pipe-stem skirt. which made its
appearance last season, was short
lived and was really accepted by a
very few. Even the straight skirt
most of the women have had made
wide enough this season to allow them
to walk with ease.
After all, demand Is always met and
the fashions are once more swinging
back to the full skirt-creeping in,
very likely best describes it, for as
yet the skirts. no matter how wide
they may be around the hips and
knees, are narrow about the ankles.
At times the great fullness above
tends to give the lower part of skirts
a narrower appearance than they have
in reality.
The artist has made you a sketch
of one of the new dresses made in
pink and white checked silk. Here we
note the tight bodice with the short
kimono sleeve, the large rounded neck
line finished with rolling collar edged
with a plating of white chiffon. The
turned-back cuff is treated in the same
manner. The straight foundation skirt
Is finished in like way. The full
skirt is bloused over the foundation.
