Among the experimental styles which
have blOssOmed out for late summer
wear and that hope to survive in fash
ions for winter, there are afternoon and
evening frocks that show much draping
of material about the figure. And so
long as gowns or suits convey TO us
that they clothe supple, youthful and
corsetless figure, they are sure of at
tention. Not that figures are in reality
cOrsetless, or always youthful. But
these are the things that must be sug-
gested il the garment is to prove sue
cess. The task of conveying the fash
ionable outlines lies with the corset
maker and the dressmaker, who are
very much aided by the softness and
limpneSs of the fabrics used.
One of the new draped frocks for
late summer is shown in the picture
above, made of silk with a satin stripe.
Whether or not it is an import, it has
French flavor, with its rather short.
