Old Style Silhouettes
In Present Day Dresses
Tor these very limited amuse-
ments, however, mademoiselle
has some lovely dresses, very beau
tiful in their charming simplicity.
Cheruit, Lanvin and Paquin make
each season innumerable ravishing
models, especially for the jeune file.
The dresses are of crepe de chine
still the rage of the moment-chif-
fon, Georgette crepe, tulle, taffeta
and serge, in lovely shades of beige,
brown, cerise, pink, blue, jade green
and, Of course, navy.
These dresses are generally
straight in line, with perhaps a
modest, round decolletage and with
now and then pleats, tiny tucks,
founces, flowers or lovely ribbon
girdles and sash ends to give that
little exquisite something that so
distinguishes the French jeune file.
Mademoiselle will wear no jewelry,
with the possible exception Of a
string Of pearls, very modest; con-
ventional slippers and style Of hat
in keeping with this marked SIM
plicity Of dress.
In a city so full of romantic in
terest as Paris it is natural for the
dressmakers to seek inspiration in
the exquisite silhouettes of bygone
days, and among the simple, flower
like frocks often seen an amusing
note is introduced by picture
dresses, the ideas having been taken
from the marvellous portraits which
abound in the Musee de Louvre.
Appealing Dance Frocks
For the Younger Set
NOW and then one sees frail young
miss in very full tulle dress
Of the palest shell pink. The skirt
Is trimmed with bands and rosettes
Of pink satin ribbon Of varying
lengths, while the round necked
tulle bodice with little puffed sleeves
is untrimmed. The full tulle skirt is
hung over a straight, rather mar.
row foundation slip Of pink satin.
Or, again, the full tulle skirt is en-
tirely dotted with tiny velvet flowers
of darker shade than the tulle.
At recent dance given in the
old aristocratic quarter Of Saint
Germain some very lovely dresses
Of the type and character men,
toned above were seen. One OF
Particular interest was from Made
leine Vionnet. This was developed
in cerise crepe de chine and chiffon
Of matching shade. The simple
bodice, with round neck and short
sleeves, was of the crepe de chine
while the straight hanging skirt, set
en- the bodice at very low waist
line, was entirely covered with rows
of overlapping petals of the cerise
chiffon. The same trimming alno
edged the short sleeves.
Another adorable frock was de-
veloped in an apricot colored taffeta
1t was a straight little slip-over-the.
head dress in chenaise form, trimmed
with garlands Of flowers and foliage
which fell from low waistline down
each side of the dress to the edge Of
the skirt. This garniture was o1
taffeta in dark shades of yellow
brown and green. The round neck
very short sleeves and bottom Of the
skirt were edged with shirred bands
Of cream net.
