in choosing her hat or her handbag
as she does In buying her costume
Many of the new spring suits viii
have metal or composition girdles de-
signed to match the cloth from which
they are made. This will be especially
true Of the suits of the new Rodier
fabrics, the girles harmonizlng with
the patterns and the colorlngs in the
cloth. This is very new idea and
one which will be extensively featured
In spring models.
An amazing number of wlde.skirted
dresses have made their appearance
in the last few weeks. Earlier in the
season this type of dress was seen
to considerable extent, but It did
not play major role, as 1t does now,
So rapid has been its growth that Il
seems as though changed silhouette
had sprung up overnight.
The theater always has great |
bearing on dress. The clothes seen or
the stage reflect the mode and have
a greater influence on costume than
the casual observer realizes. Both the
Paris and American stages are now
featuring the full-skirted dress, and
1t is to these sources that we may at.
tribute its renaissance.
