I, Is one OF those dresses
which require a course in how 10
pu- it on and ,ake it off. If you
started. as would be quite natural,
to unbutton this dress at the
shoulder. you would very soon find
yourself ct an iapasse, so to
obviate any such catastrophe we
shall tell you right ava. that the
key position, in this costume, is at
the lower right side. Start there
and unwind the entire flounce
which is buttoned around the waist
in the back, bring i. around 10 the
LEFT. then unbltton the fcur buttons
at he shoulder. and the whole
t1zniC VII coi..e away.
This dress is developed in green
Frostk-epe. but it would also be
charming in a number of other
materials such as Satin, Poplin,
Bengaline. or Drapaca, the new
Cheney alpaca weave. The square
neckIine is interesting, as are also
the set in sleeves, with their odd
fange shaped lower sections. The
fiounce portion of the tunic is cut
on the cross. and is set over a mar
row underskirt hung from bodice.
Buttons. Henri Creange writes us
from Paris. have assumed an i'm
portant role in the fashion world.
They are employed for fastenings,
trimmings. embroideries: dyed in
all shades, either to match the
dress. or in one or several contrast
ing tones; even in gold or silver or
in painted china. The buttons on
this costume may be of the same
color as the dress or contrast with
it, according 10 the individual taste.
