son the chic Partisan must
don clothes that are more 81 less
irregular.
Time WAS when q gown was =
straight cubical affair with regu-
lar lines either vertical or hOri-
zontal. These days are over and
fashion Is now wandering around
in notches, ripples. acallops curves
and Of course the popular flares.
The neck.line, the hip-line and
the hem-Iine are doing things in
their own sweet manner ana
every individual dressnaker 81
the capital Is doing what she
likes with the waist.line.
Neck-lines come in diamon@s,
V-shapes, squares, rectangles, Ell
Hpses and every other form one
can think OF. The hips1ine some
times goes up in the front or
dips at the sides or quite the con-
trary. It is sometimes low and
sometimes high. always some
kind Of a fancy figure.
As for the hem line no one
can tell just what II win do this
season. Cabot Is using 1t to de.
scribe beautiful curves going into
some of her loveliest models and
giving them the appearance Of
an inverted flower. Small Ola.
monds or pearIed dagger,points
make lovely uneven hemlines and
stately princess froclzs have fluffy
draped backs that dip or are lift
ed at the henalines or have mag
nificent godeted panels from the
waistline that curve at the hem
and make one think Of the fIutl
ings on Boticelli ladies.
Even the hemlines Of fur coats
are scalloped. Some coats OF
such rare fur as ermine and sable
are made with several scalloped
tiers forming the skirt. The
cutaway line Is the most frequent
Of the uneven cuts. An unusual
sports coat in Russian p0ney has
deep pockets on the side which
hang down and give the uneven
line.
