Harmony Trend Seen in
Outer Garments.

Harmony has been gaining such
sway in the fashion world that it has
now penetrated the realm Of under
things, with the result that the new
lingerie models feature the fall trend
seen in outer garments. In other
words, says a fashion correspondent
In the New York Times, the line In
underwear must correspond with that
Of the frock worn.
Georgette in exquisite pastel shades,
and crepe de chine in white and shell
pink are used in models for evening
wear. A three-piece dance set in april
cot georgette Is trimmed with hand
made lace. F'ullness in the step-ins is
achieved by insets of tiny plaits,
which are outlined with the lace. In
stead Of shoulder straps, three velvet
covered elastic bands hold the narrow
bandeau in place. These are stretched
across the back and fastened under
the arms by small rosebuds. Shirred
rufies of lace and rosebuds add a
Colonial touch to the garters.
The flare plays an important part in
a three-piece model Of heavy white
crepe satin. Double folds Of geOrgette
serve as the only trimming, and when
used In the tops Of chemise and slip
further carry out the new silhouette.
Godets Of the georgette plated are
placed around the bottom of the slip
and at the sides of the chemise. Mar
row pipings of georgette are used In
the double shoulder straps Of both
garments and to trim the garters.
Crepe de chine, crepe satin and
handkerchief linen are sponsored in
many Of the two and three-piece mod
els destined for daytime wear. Lace
and net in a variety Of interesting de-
signs provide the main trimming for
these garments, while the more tai
lored models emphasize the use OF
fine hand embroidery and drawn work.
Many show borders Of contrasting col
ors, and a few have edges of real ilet
and Irish picot.
Attention to cut and finish are the
outstanding features Of the new one
piece tailored models to be worn with
sports clothes. BrOadclOth and heavy
crepe satin are the favored materials.
To permit freedom Of movement a
band Of knitted fabric is inserted at
the lower back. In the absence of
trimming of any kind, great stress Is
laid on the finish. GlOve-sllk under
wear has become a byword, in fact
50 much so that very little variation
from the staple styles has been noted
In the models now on display. Its
clinging tendencies. however, make II
a boon to the stout woman, who wise
ly will have nothing Of georgette or
the crepe varieties.
In many instances the effect Of an
evening gown depends upon the Sc
lection Of the proper slip. One safe
rule to follow is to bear in mind the
lines of the dress. If the gown is
slightly fitted select a slip having the
same lines, but in no case wear a full
slip with a slender gown. Slips OF
georgette, chiffon and crepe are ia
vored for evening wear. Fitted bod
ices and fullness in the lower parts
Of these garments are further evidence
of the new silhouette In underwear.
Most of the models for daytime are
cut on a long waistline with just suf-
flcient fullness in the skirts to permit
comfort in walking. Satin and woven
silks in the darker shades are very
desirable in this type Of garment.
