n band Of chinchilla ION the narrow
foundation skirt about six inches from
the bottom. The girdle is Of turquoise
.-lue and emerald green brocade.
A pronounced feature in evening
gowns is the draped princess move
ment. Dresses of this character usu-
ally are cut in one straight piece from
shoulder TO hem. The drapery appears
across the front of the figure ut a me-
dunn low waistline, and as the folds
are rather tightly drawn into the side
seams this gives n pronounced stom-
ach line. Long trains falling from the
low waistline. az the back or one side,
are likewise features of these draped
princess dresses. The decoletage is
medium low and of a square cut.
Handsome metal brocades, dark
browns and black. brocaded in gold or
silver, are the materials used.
Wide Sash at Low Waistlne.
Again the same draped effect is oh
tanned by means of a wide sash of the
material tied at low waistline, the
ends falling straight at the left side.
This season sashes are not tied in
large, perky bows, but instead of the
long ends are tied only once and al
lowed to fall straight, thus accentu-
ating the long, slim figure line. Broad
girdles of metal brocade often finish
at the left side with q large DISLIKE
ornament of gold or silver. All sashes
and girdleS, regardless OF their mode
of fastening. are placed at low waist
line and are tightly drawn across the
stomach.
Street dresses and the more elabo-
rate afternoon frocks frequently have
the low waistline effect achieved
through the cut of the long straight
bodice, which In many instances is cir
cular across the front and back. the
sides being a little shorter. From
these circular cut ends hang wide,
straight panels, and from the sides
fall open fan-shaped panels OF con-
trasting material, usually lace, en-
broidered net, embroidered gold cloth
or an applique embroidery Of the ma
terial. This latter may be OF serge
or brOadcloth, two materials much
used for street wear, In black and navy
blue.
Some OF the exclusive dressmaking
houses are/showing considerable full
ness in skirts. This width frequent
ly Is achieved by means Off plated
fan-shaped panels that are let in at
the sides at q low waiStline. The
sklrst may be cut either with front and
back panels, like those mentioned. or
in one piece, the left side of the skirt
being much raised in draped effect.
At this point falls plated fan-shaped
panel Of n sheer material. 3.
Ribbons Used in Gay Profusion.
Little dancing dresses of tulle or
lace may have full, short skirts, tight
bodlces of 1880 style. and sometimes
short puff sleeves. Often bright-col-
ored ostrich of contrasting color is
used as a trimming on the skirts. Or.
If preferred, garlands of gayly colored
flowers may be substituted for the os-
trich.
Ribbons are used on dresses I'm ev-
cry conceivable way. They make stisf
loop panels which lie fiat against the
skirt or fall in loose streamers from
the waistline TO the hem and huge
ribbon sashes that float away into long
