up or softens any imperfections of fit.
The effect Is truly one of simplicity, but
a simplicity that conceals great art.
As no evening frock is really quite
complete without draping somewhere,
have achieved the effect Of draping on
this gown by bringing the folds of the
material tightly across the figure and
into shrrings on the left hip. From
these descend graceful breadth of ma
teral that trails its cleaning length on
the floor, although the skirt proper is
ankle length, rather short, as skirts 60
nowadays.
For contrast, glittering rhinestone
ornament is fastened into the shirrings
and the headdress is of shaded green
tulle, edged with rhinestones.
Another very charming frock pictured
on this page to-day is of black velvet,
also quite unadorned. 1t is delightfully."-
straight in line, the material drawn
softly over to one hip and held there
under two big loops of velvet lined with
silver ribbon. This broadens the sill
houette at the hip line only and accents
the narrow effect around the feet.
The sleeveless bodice closes in surplice
manner, giving deep v neck line
surely a relief, after all the bateau
effects.
think the most attractive footgear
to wear with this costume would be silver
stockings, in spite of the vogue for rose
beige ones, and black velvet slippers.
For evening wear with both colored and
black frocks slippers Of brilliant metal
brocades in wonderful designs and col
ors reflect the desire for color in every
thing. This. is often combined with

deep orange-red toned velvet frock with
fascinating effects. Only the softest
chiffon velvet could make the graceful
accordion-pleated skirt which hung in
such slim folds, with ALL the grace Of
satin. Amusing and extremely effective
was the girdle formed of silver leaves
and grapes. 1t was all the frock needs
in the way of trimming.
Next to velvet, the most popular ma
terial for tailleurs and coats is new
velour, thinner and more supple than
the fabric we have been accustomed to
call by that name. 1t comes in all man.
ner of delightful shades and should not
be overlooked by any one planning
three-piece costume.
A most effective costume of this kind
Is pictured to-day, three-piece affair
Of soft black velour, featuring a one
piece dress with bodice of tan crepe
embroidered in black and red sprinkled
here and there with tiny beads the same
color. The long, straight skirt has for
its only ornament band of cording di-
rectly down the center front.
Most of the interest of this costume
lies in the little, hip-length jacket, made
with tight band at the hips. This is
also corded. Interesting embroidery
motifs, done in gold, black and red, give
dash of color to this jacket, which
achieves further richness Of effect by its
collar and wide cuffs of squirrel.
The most beautiful of costumes is
worn to very little effect if both the hat
and shoes be not in excellent accord. To
wear with this three-piece affair | have
devised an effective shape. its upturned
brim braided in the same colors of the
embroidery in the suit A soft bow on
one side is Its only trimming.

dress draped tight
ly around the figure is the accepted
model now, the one most worn by women
who pride themselves on their choice
Of clothes
This draping takes many forms, but
invariably the silhouette remains the
same-tight around the feet and grad
ual widening Of the line toward the
waist. The bodices of these draped
gowns are either semi-htting and blous-
ing slightly at very low waist line or
else molding the figure in a most pic
turesque manner.
There has been growing tendency in
frocks to fit the figure snugly from top
to toe, revealing its every line and curve.
1t all comes from the Renaissance and
Moyen age gowns featured by some Of
the Paris designers, notably Lanvin,
frocks that mold the figure and should
only be worn by women beautifully pro-
portioned.
The other type Of costume favored for
evening wear is the one with very
long, full skirt and tight-ftting, long
wasted bodice, with only moderately
low decolletage and either no sleeves at
all or merely the tiniest apologies for
them. This is the type of frock featured
most by Nine. Lanvin and she makes it
in every material, satin, taffeta and vel
vet. 1t is a type Of gown charming for
dancing and one much affected by young
girls, older women preferring the dig
nifty Of the draped lines.
Both these silhouettes are to be found
in day frocks, but, in addition, there is
another-the straight-line, which is to
be found in the majority Of tailleurs
and cloth frocks. Women seem loath to
part with the straight. slim lines which
have been popular for so long and
doubt if the circular and godet type of
skirt will ever have the wide acceptance
Of the simpler. more youthful straight
line model.
So If one is interested merely in line
in either day or evening frocks there are
various types to choose from. When it
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1922-11-26

Is SO rich and beautiful in itself that it
is rarely trimmed-the only ornamental
ton and one quite in keeping being
dark fur at neck or wrists.
The smartest colors for evening wear
are Chinese red--a wonderful tone, with
the CLINT of orange through it-various
tones Of red and orange, yellow and
mauve. White is greatly favored this
season, especially when combined with
crystal, and nothing is lovelier than
white velvet evening frock, quite I'M
trimmed, provided, Of course, that its
lines are distinctive. / would especially
recommend this gown for brunette, as
nothing is so subtly fattering as the
smooth sheen of white velvet.
Black velvet is not allowed to remain
quite black this season, but is invariably
combined with color. A brilliant sash,
collar Of fragile, cream-colored lace or
the sheen of a silver-lined panel does
much to rob black velvet frock of its
somberness Where formerly it was
adopted only by the dignifed matron, it
is now worn with excellent effect by the
most ingenue of debutantes. Often
black velvet gown is combined with
ernine, which gives quite a dashing eff
feet and one peculiarly becoming to
blondes.
A color that is slowly but surely COM
ing into vogue is green, not the jade
tones that have been done to death, but
softer, darker green, effective in both
the daytime and evening. believe so in
this color that have designed very
charming frock on wonderfully simple
lines, ucing no trimming, so as to give
the beauty Of the fabric full play.
The whole effect is one of great sim
plicity and. Of course, it preserves the
straight, slim lines SO dear to every
woman who cares the least little bit for
her personal appearance.
The close-ftting bodice, with its sleeve
less effect and modest decolletage, is
type that has gained great favor with
the smart woman. 1t must be made ex-
trernely we'll or it Immediately looks
dowdy, and, Of course, it must fit per-
fectly. No trimming Of any kind covers

plain gold or silver bro
cade, the plain material
often making the heels
and straps. These slip
ers are usually trimmed
with brilliant, slender
buckles of rhinestones.
Rose beige stockings are
most worn with these
slippers.
There seems to be a de-
sire this season to COM
bine silver with every
thing. We find it in rib
bon twisted into count
less hats, and even the
most tailored of wraps is
apt to have its embroidery
of silver tinsel thread. OF
course, it is most effec-
tive when combined with
rich materials, such as
velvet in dark colors and
worn in the evening.
