AN IDEA FROM DIRECTOIRE PERIOD
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE.

France and remained in fashion
throughout the empire period. Pos
sibly the word may also indicate
certain mode of hairdressing-curls
arranged with supposedly classic SIM
plicity and ornaments that came with
the ornamented with wreaths of flow
ers instead of the feathers and metal
empire.
To people who view the directoire
in this way a frock that is not cut
with a high waist line is not direc-
toire. They are looking for an ex-
act Interpretation of the mode of
1875. But it may be that something
that might well be termed directoire
in fashions would and has already
come into the present mode without
the high waist line
Directofre implicitly.
In spite of occasional overdiSplay
the directoire mode was in the main
simple-simpler than that which went
before or came after. In spite Of the
construction of the sash and girdle,
tied almost under the armpits, the di-
rectoire mode distorted the figure less
than fashions usually do. Sleeves
were simple. very short or occasion
ally long and clinging.
Something that added much to the
effect of the silhouette was that
women in this period wore few petit
coats. After the empire, all through
the nineteenth century. petticoats ga
lore came back to fashion. The Ma
poleonic period and the present pc
riod are the only two periods since
medieval time when woman could
! hope to look well dressed with a sin
gle petticoat. Often six or seven were
almost necessary.
The Chemise ADDeaFs.
or course there were striking ex-
tremes in this fashion. Transparent
fabrics were as popular as they are
today. Nothing was so well liked as
muslins, that one might call tissue
| of air" and these airy cotton fabrics
arc as well liked today. Then as to-
day younger women shocked women
| of the older generation by the, scan
| tiness of their underclothing. One
| boasted then of how little one wore
| beneath ones frock just as mid-Vic'
J torian women boasted of how much
| they wore
1 They went back to classic Greece
| for adopting a single undergarment
to take the place OF many. And there
really was nothing necessarily shock
| ing or immodest in the fashion fol
1 wearing frocks that showed the
I chemise. Often the low lines of the
| frock itself were built up by the pres
ence of higher necked chemise ant
later. when it was no longer the fash.
ion to show ones lingerie. little neck
| inserts were known as chemisettes.
| In some of the French froeks de.
| signed for warm weather little un-
derslip or chemise goes with the
frock. In the dainty dotted muslin
frock shown in the cut the deep
of the frock shows the chemise. made
of matching material almost to the
waist line.
