The leading American dressmaking

Humped-Back Cape Bizarre Novelty.
Designers and manufacturers, to
be successful from financial point of
view, must make what women want,
whether it is q new fashion or an old
one. Consequently they have given
unstinted attention TO coats. There is
an unlimited number Of models as
well as materials displayed. Beautiful
crepe de chine coats and capes vie
with those of soft satins and striking
new wOrStedS.
Laces not only plain, but beautiful
ly embroidered, play their part, as do
wonderful trimmings of ribbons and
silks. Huge rOsettes on one coat
illustrate a typical new coat trim
ming. This is Madeleine ct Made
leine's new humped-baCk cape, said to
be designed after the Hfndustan or
Persian priests robe. This wrap is
the sensational novelty of their COL
lection. 1t IS developed in black and
gold lame, with deep flOunces Of black
net threaded with black and gold to
form a pattern on Brussels mesh sim
liar to the new face veilings. These
founces are bordered by narrow
| Fittings of the same embroidered net.
Encircling the body are five huge
flower motifs, in rose pattern, de-
velOped in a cotton ribbon, hand
painted in water cOlors to simulate
Saded tea rose shades. These "rna-
ments are distinctly like padded
applique standing away about half
an inch.
Tie peculiar neck effect in this
wrap, which is a distinctly new fea-
ture, Is obtained by a framelike sup
port or lining which holds 1t TO tie
back. 1t in no way separates the
| collar, but continues with the drapery
Of the coat. Mile Madeleine, who
designed the coat, claims that it is
suitable for all types of figures, and
will give a more slender line to the
stout woman than the ordinary col
lar. Through an inside support the
material forming the wrap flares
down from a rounding shelflike ex'
| tension, and, once the folds of the
material leave the neck, 1t is a fact
that they do fall perfectly straight
so that there is absolutely no curve
| Of the figure at the center back. The
head and neck Of the wearer seem to
fit into this groOvelike space formed
by the collar foundation. 1t is mos
eccentric, but, one must admit, In
teresting. 1t has a name of its OWL
-Seindia.
Blue Serge Wrap Transparent Effect
It is not only In the dressy wrap:
that one finds this collar of Made
leine ct Madeleine, but also In more
practical styles for day wear. The
model known as TrOu Trou, Is al
interesting example Of the use Of thu
hump collar in connection with waist
length cape, showing tnat 1t Is equal!
well adapted for the more simple form
of wrap.
Another important and interest
ing feature in connection with thi:
model is that, while the coat Is de
veloped in blue serge, it is given {
transparent effect through the yer!
elaborate open-pattern embroider!
which shows a crepe georgette lin
ing.
