Beltless Frock Is Widely Adopted
BY ANNE RITTENHousE.

A friend in Paris who has watched
the development of fashions for au-
tumn there writes to assure us that
the belt and girdle has not entirely
disappeared from off the face of the
earth of fashion. You can still find
frocks with some sort of a ceinture
If you search long enough for them.
And this as we'll as anything else
gives us an idea of what a wide
really has become.
Sometimes the belt fingers, like
ones appendix ror wisdom teeth,
merely as a vestige. Sometimes ii is
dsEeloped at back but not at front
@nd In rare instances at front but
not at back. Some times there is a
bit OF an application at either side
that might be regarded as vestigial
belt.
But don't imagine that beltlessnes SIS
or girdlelessness means waistless-
ness. On the contrary, often the
Ir1cks that show no actual belt or
glrdle are so cut and draped and
manipulated that the tapering of the
body above the hips that we call
the waist is allowed to show. And
all this is an interesting paradox. We
once used girdles and belts to draw
IN our waists--to accentUate such
slenderness of waist as we pos
sessed. Then belts and girdles be-
came so wide and so low that the
only way we had of ever getting
back to the defining of waist-slen-
derness at all was to abandon the
girdle or belt.
A few Of the French dressmakers
like Cheruit show a disposition to re-
turn to what they call q normal
waiStine, fairly we'll defined. Most
Of the others show a strong disposi-
tion to use no girdle at all. In either
case the movement is away from the
gird1e drawn around the hips. Where
the hip belt remains it is made very
fiat.
The beltless frock often takes the
form of a sheath. and this sheath is
sometimes cut straight and narrow
with no revelation of the waist save
with the turning or bending of the
body. The navy. blue frock in the
sketch is of this type.
Then there are sheaths that are
deftly drawn to reveal the waist
sleIrderness. Sometimes tunie takes
the form of sheath with a tapering
flare at the hips like an inverted
Gala lily.
