The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1919-07-18
Net FrOckS Are
Quite in Favor

putting these panels together with
handsome lace, filet or Irish crochet,
and filling out all the required spaces
with the fine net.
In speaking Of this sort of gown
one must not forget that the sash II
often Its most important part, for one
is just as apt to find 1t forming almost
the entire back as not, the narrow
inch-wide string belts being left for
other dresses. If, however, one pre-
fers the narrower type inch-wide'moire
ribbon with picot edges is used In two
strips.
Contrasting with the deliberately
draped and befrilled frock we find the
straight one-piece frock, almost per-
fectly straight from neck to hem,
much In favor. The chemise frock II
is called and is made Of embroidered
panels of net and lace or embroidered
batiste combined with the net. On
this type Of dress the sash Is very
wide and tied Its full width about the
waist as straight and unrelieved by
folds or. drawing in as child's. OF
course the dress itself buttons down
the back and the long lines thus re-
main unbroken.
Ruffles az Trimming.
Wee ruffles of plain organdie and
very narrow edges Of Valenciennes lace
are used as trimming. In the place Of
the braiding' the organdle is now and
then covered with machine stitching,
which has the same effect, always
done In white, as for some reason this
is to be white summer, at least as
far as our finest frocks go. This
stitching was used great deal dur
ing the winter on hats and turbans and
on silk dresses, but as yet this is the
first season 1t has appeared in the thin
ner fabrics, therefore its presence
tells Of its being the newest thing.
One Of the most delightful fabrics
for the less elaborate dress than those
described Is the cross-barred organdie,
so sheer and fine that it is a delight to
wearer and beholder endlessly. 1t Is
found made up into q rather dressy
morning frock Of almost shirt-waist
simplicity, though the addition Of tiny
ruffies Of footing along the wide low col.

Of the skirt relieves the dress of any
plainness whatever. A straight round
belt holds In the waist and at the
back a wide sash Of the organdie Is

delightful frock Is wide-brimmed hot
Of the same material with a soft edge

Orqandie Still In Favor.
OF course we are not to think for
a moment that srgandie has lost Its
favor, though these finer dresses have
pushed 1t somewhat to one side on
dressy occasions. Organdie is delight.
